Hello! If you are facing a difficult situation or you are feeling confused, lost or stuck, moving forward may seem daunting. My approach is to focus on you and help you to organize your thoughts, and find alternate ways to approach problems. It can be easier to cope with life’s challenges when you have support. I have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and the challenges of parenting.
The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. My approach is collaborative and effective, founded in a combination of kindness and evidence-based techniques. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world.
I am currently participating with clients through video sessions, and I would be happy to connect with you over the phone for a 15-minute free initial consultation. Contact me at 571-221-1409 or email Dottie@freedomcounselingcenterva.com

My goal is to create a safe and engaging space where one can learn how to identify and process their emotions while also making strides towards wanted behavioral changes.

I implement an individualized approach, utilizing a combination of CBT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, IFS Techniques, Play & Art Therapy Techniques to achieve positive outcomes.
You don't have to do this alone. We can work together to develop appropriate skills to encourage personal growth. Choosing the right therapist is important.
