My Approach to Therapy

My name is Krista Hale, and I'm a licensed professional counselor who has worked in a variety of mental health settings for 45 years. At the age of 54, I went back to school to earn my Master's degree and become a licensed clinician. I am currently offering counseling to individuals, families, and couples via telehealth. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and major life transitions, and I have a particular interest in working with older women, couples of all ages and persuasions, those struggling due to our current political climate, and those in the LGBTQ community.

My Practice & Services

I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work in 1978, my Master's in Mental Health Counseling in 2013, and I became a licensed counselor in Virginia in 2016. I use a person-centered approach, which involves being accepting, non-judgmental, and respectful of other worldviews. As a warm, intuitive, and empathetic counselor with a sense of humor, I help my clients flourish despite life's setbacks. Book your appointment today and start your journey to a better life.
