I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express yourself. Through compassionate listening and collaborative dialogue, we'll work together to help you gain clarity, develop coping skills, and make positive changes.

I serve you by creating a safe place as you allow me to enter your sacred place. My communication style is that of a servant-partner rather than an attempt to fix or help you. Throughout our therapeutic relationship, you will reveal a lot of yourself to me; likewise, I will share appropriately about myself. Moreover, I am here to serve you. "When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as a whole. Fixing and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of the soul." ~ Rachel Naomi Remen Therefore, communication takes on a transactional tone being mindful of social, cultural, and relational contexts as the therapeutic relationship grows. In transactional communication, we both send and receive messages simultaneously and the feedback system is multi-layered - verbally and non-verbally: tone of voice, eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures. In this therapeutic relationship, I refer to you interchangeably, as a client or partner, suggesting reciprocal benefits and responsibilities in the therapeutic relationship. You have the following responsibilities: 1: To inform all providers of your current symptoms, medication adherence, and changes in your overall functioning. 2: To be an informed and active consumer, choosing your Behavioral/Mental Health (BH/MH) team providers and engaging in a fluid treatment model, that best meets your changing needs, including session times, treatment goals, and even referrals to other BH professionals. 3: To seek a second opinion about symptoms and treatment, as you have Autonomy. You do not have to agree with or participate in any interventions recommended to you. It is imperative that psychotherapy or talk therapy be a safe place for you, the client/partner, and the provider. 4: To be informed of alternate therapeutic providers in the event of this provider’s planned and unexpected absences. 5: To provide a complete address at the start of the telehealth session. 6: To be forthcoming with clinical status changes at the start of the session and any point during the session: thoughts of suicide, self-harm; or harm to others. However, If an ethical dilemma interrupts the flow of the best interest of the therapeutic counseling process, up to and including risk and safety issues, this provider’s clinical judgment will be the determining factor when referring or terminating the treatment relationship with much grace and care.

Hi there. Glad you stopped by! I really love the work that I do, and I’m very lucky to get to meet people in moments of vulnerability. Over the years, I’ve worked with people going through depression, anxiety, trauma, as well as grief and loss. My particular niche is working alongside men individually, who often carry a significant internal burden that they may rarely talk about, or even have words for. Therapy can provide a space to put some of that weight down, make sense of it, and learn how to express what is really going on beneath the surface. I also very much enjoy working with couples. Having myself been married since 2015, my own relationship has taught me a great deal about communication, vulnerability, conflict, and the work it takes to build a lasting relationship. Those experiences led me to embrace the Gottman Method, a therapeutic orientation that focuses heavily on intentionality.

We live in a broken and fallen world. At times life knocks us down and we find it difficult to cope or know what to do. As a counselor it is my job to meet you where you are and together address the concerns you are facing. I work from a Christian worldview and use this as a framework to assist you in evaluating your thoughts, situations, relationships and strengths. Regardless of your religion or faith, it would be my honor to work with you and get you on your desired path.

My clients describe me as warm, accepting and non-judgmental. I believe that finding the right therapist for you is an important part of having a positive experience in therapy. I work collaboratively with my clients with the goal of helping them better understand themselves and lead a more balanced and fulfilled life. I help my clients to think about their problems and relationship in new ways by offering support and feedback about behavioral and relationship patterns. While I do not offer direct advice, I am active and participatory in each session with my clients.

Claudette Gadson is currently a Supervisee in Social Work (SISW) Resident of the State of Virginia with years of experience. She treats clients of all ages and specializes in depression, grief, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, and suicidalhomicidal ideation.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania and a grief specialist who understands what it’s like to experience loss because I’ve had many losses, too. I can help you feel less alone, confused, and helpless. I am a faith-based counselor who uses a variety of approaches so you feel heard, understood, and supported. You will leave my sessions with helpful coping tools to help you navigate grief and loss.

My 25+ years of experience has taught me the importance of making the time to listen and understand before I start making suggestions. This involves understanding each person's life story, administering assessment tools, reviewing relevant records, and interviewing other people that my client and I agree should be involved. I believe strongly in evaluating strengths as well as pain, with my feedback emphasizing the former. I also believe in letting my clients know about what research-based treatments are available to them so that we can collaborate in experiencing transformative change ASAP. I believe in setting life-altering goals before beginning, and checking on progress as we go. My intention is to promote healing, wellness, and happiness as thoroughly and as effectively as possible. With child and teen clients, I use a variety of methods to make each person comfortable (e.g., I use magic to connect with kids and teens, referring to myself as a wizard).

You've probably been sitting with this for a while-- thinking about reaching out, talking yourself out of it, and thinking about it again. Maybe something recently pushed you to finally do it. Whatever brought you here, I'm glad you made it. I'm Cate, and I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck. Whether that's anxiety that follows you everywhere, relationship patterns that keep repeating, low mood that's hard to shake, or the weight of experiences you've been carrying longer than you should have to. My clients are often people who have been managing on their own for a long time and are ready to try something different. My approach is warm, honest, and tailored to your individual needs, drawing from Attachment Theory, CBT, EMDR, Somatic and Self Regulation Strategies, Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and Motivational Interviewing. Each incorporated where it fits best for you, all grounded in a trauma-informed lens and an understanding of how early relationships shape who we are today. In practice that means we go at your pace, build on your strengths, develop new skills where needed, and find the path that actually works for your life. People often tell me that talking to me feels like talking to a trusted friend who also knows what they're doing. Warm, nonjudgmental, and occasionally funny. My goal is that you leave every session feeling heard, a little clearer, and less alone in whatever you're carrying. Therapy isn't always easy, but you don't have to do it alone. If you're ready to start or just curious, reach out. A free 15-minute consultation is a great first step.

I focus my work with individuals and couples to improve connection and secure functioning within relationships. I also work individuals dealing with affair recovery and betrayal trauma. Additionally, a large part of my practice focuses on healing from past traumas. During big life events we all need support, compassion, understanding, and sometimes guidance to return to feeling whole, connected, and allow joy back into our lives. Learning to care for yourself and using evidence based tools to improve your life will be our focus. My hope is to help you heal so you manage life's stressors and feel confident to face the world.

I help individuals with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships challenges, childhood trauma, stress, and families navigating behavioral issues. I teach my clients communication skills that improve their relationships. Those skills boost my clients' power and voice, as well as their intimacy with their significant others. I rely on a number of approaches, including Gestalt, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, somatic experiencing, and experiential dynamic psychotherapy. I help clients dealing with traumatic stress reduce panic, pain, numbness and hyper-arousal in response to life and relationships difficulties. I combine calming and relationship skills to help children, adolescents, and young adults reduce family discord and ADHD, and increase self-efficacy. I help my clients navigate their behaviors, emotions, cognition, and physiology. I help couples and individuals explore the ways that small changes in attitudes and stances can nurture new ways of feeling, thinking, and being in the world. I help my clients find new solutions so they can connect with a sense of joy and competence.
