Therapy for couples & individuals in Virginia & North Carolina
Discover your authentic self & create the relationships you deserve.
We specialize in helping you create healthy relationships with yourself and those most important to you.
WE CAN HELP YOU CREATE CHANGE.
ANXIETY THERAPY
We support adults who feel weighed down by self-criticism, worry, or painful relationship patterns. Using approaches such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the work centers on helping you connect to your most authentic self while building healthier, more secure relationships.
COUPLES THERAPY
As advanced Emotionally Focused Therapists led by an ICEEFT Certified Supervisor, we are dedicated to supporting you with your most important relationship. In our work together, we will identify patterns of communication that lead to disconnection and feelings of insecurity and isolation. This includes emotional intimacy, communication struggles & sexual issues. We provide an inclusive space for all relationship structures and orientations.
RELATIONSHIP THERAPY
In our work with adult individuals, we come alongside you to understand the pain you carry with you. Are you challenged by your relationships, current or past? Have you experienced relationship or attachment trauma? Or do you grapple with perfectionism, people pleasing or anxiety? We use empirically validated therapeutic approaches such as Internal Family Systems allowing you to get in touch with your most authentic self while finding relief.
