Therapists in Virginia

Hello, I am glad you are here! You are either taking the first step on your journey to wellness or reaching out to continue that journey. I am the founder of "Wellness Place, LLC." After 25+ years of professional experience and study in the areas of social work, mental health and healthcare and many years of self-study in nutrition and philosophy, I have come to realize that well-being depends on more than a healthy body.

It is my goal & the goal of "Wellness Place" to help you on your journey to wellbeing.

My treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Biopsychosocial Spritual, Problem Solving, and Systems Theory, but I use an ecclectic, individualized approach based on where you are in life and what direction you wish to take. I like to use very practical ways to address obstacles that are keeping you from the peace you seek. This often includes learning new relaxation techniques, use of resources like worksheets and websites, and proactive approaches to stress and problem prevention.

Hi and Welcome! My name is Hope Holman. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I am a retired Navy veteran and Disabled Vet who earned my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work at Saint Leo University. I am also a Registered Play Therapist. I have served clients with a wide range of concerns including; but not limited to, depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, anger issues, relational conflict, parenting challenges, foster care/adoption, Autism, ADHD, physical/sexual/emotional abuse, abandonment/rejection, and life changes. I have experience with various populations from ages 4 to 80. In addition, I have work experience in group therapy, support groups, couple counseling, outpatient, and in-home therapy. My style of counseling is warm, non-judgmental, supportive, and encouraging. My therapeutic approach is strength-based, combining Cognitive-Behavioral and Client-Centered Therapy; however, I am experienced in several other treatment modalities. As your therapist, you can expect a safe place to unpack and process life; while feeling supported, heard, and empowered. Therapy takes work and healing is a journey. I am humbled to walk alongside you as you discover a much healthier and happier you. Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” Seeking out therapy is that one step. It takes considerable courage and strength to say, “I need help!” Perhaps, you simply need a listening ear or a heart that seeks to understand. Whichever it may be, I congratulate you for starting your journey to healing and wholeness whether for the first time in therapy or starting again. You are braver than you think and stronger than you realize! I am excited about your journey. Let’s get started!

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) serving individuals living in Virginia. I am a graduate of Lynchburg College where I received my Master of Education in Counseling. I have had the honor of seeing the importance of mental health services while working with persons of all ages during the past 19 years in both home-based & outpatient settings. I have also experienced the value in pursuing professional help at various times in my own personal journey. My approach to counseling is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) including an assortment of different techniques and components such as: cognitive restructuring; problem-solving training; journaling; and relaxation training. Small, intentional habits can form the groundwork of valuable mental beliefs. I find it is helpful & important to add mindfulness approaches into CBT early. Consider that regardless of whether someone is experiencing depression, anxiety, grief &/or pain, etc. the underlying result is, most often, an individual having a fear of fully experiencing the aversive emotion/physical sensation with an extreme desire to escape from it. Learning to accept, improve and tolerate distress often requires help from someone who is warm, open, caring & empowering. My experience has prepared me to be such a therapist & I want to help you acquire skills to accept your unwanted emotions, as well as, how to improve your emotional experience. I am grateful you are here today!
