Hello, my name is Tom. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years of experience counseling children, adolescents, youth, and adults in various settings. With extensive marital counseling experience, I enjoy counseling couples and feel it is one of my strengths. So, if you are interested in improving your relationship, let's talk. You will generally receive a response from me by the next business day and if you would like more information about me click on my name above your message. Having a comfortable and empathetic environment where my clients can feel heard is the virtual setting I want to provide for them. Cognitive Behavioral and Rational Emotive Behavioral techniques are my choice modalities. My hope is to hear your most pressing issue and assist with creating a treatment plan that will help you reach your highest level of functioning: physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. I would love to be given the opportunity to help you find happiness and peace on your journey. Dr. Frye

Why did you decide to become a counselor? I have always found that making connections with others is what drives change. I want to be able to provide others with that connection to help them find the best version of themselves and to help them through challenging situations in their lives. With my own personal experiences in my childhood, my goal has always been to help others overcome their circumstances, to show them they are not limited by their experiences and trauma. What would you say to a potential client? *This world is full of things and situations that make us feel powerless and not in charge of out own lives. My philosophy, and what drives my approach to therapy, is about learning to take control over yourself despite what is going on around you, or what has happened to you. You are the ultimate driver in your life, you find power within yourself. How does your personality influence your approach to therapy? *I am a no nonsense, down to Earth individual. I feel that I am straight forward and that helps me challenge clients to address the most difficult areas in their lives, the areas in which that hold them back from their full potential. I also believe that education is key, understanding how the brain works and how trauma affects the brain, it’s about using these concepts to help drive change. Brief description of Work Experience? *I did my internship at a Domestic Violence shelter for women and children as well as therapeutic day counseling in school settings. I have worked the past 7 years in residential treatment, 1 year doing outpatient, specializing in kids and teens with complex and severe trauma. I have worked extensively with self-harm, suicidal ideations, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, anger, aggression, defiance/conduct, family conflict, sexualized behaviors, trauma (sexual, physical, neglect, mental/psychological). I currently work outpatient therapy seeing both adults and children. Brief description of Education background? *BS in Pre-med Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology from Bluefield College in 2012 *M.Ed. In Human Services and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College in 2015 My modalities include, but are not limited to, TF-CBT, Client Centered, Solution Focused, Motivational Interviewing, DBT. I do not believe in a one size fits all therapy approach and try to cater my therapies to the need of the client.

Carin Hamilton
Hi there, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Carin (Karrine) and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed to practice in both California and Virginia. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, families, teens, adolescents, and children—basically, if you're human and willing to talk, we’ll get along just fine. Therapy with me is not just about venting on a couch (though there’s plenty of space for that too); it’s about creating real, lasting change. I take a solutions-focused approach, which means we’re not just going to dig through the past for sport, we’re going to use what we learned to grow. I like to say therapy isn’t a one-time fix; it’s a lifestyle shift. Like drinking water, getting sleep, and realizing you don’t have to answer that text message right away. Growth is a process, but we’ll make it manageable, meaningful, and enjoyable. I believe in the incredible resilience and ability of people to heal and grow, even if they feel stuck right now. I especially love working with those who understand that the mind and body are a team. One doesn’t clock in without the other. So if you’re paying attention to your physical well-being, that’s already a huge win in our work together. When you come to therapy, come ready to step into the next chapter of your personal growth. You don’t need to have it all figured out, just bring yourself, your story, and willingness to grow. We’ll go from there:) Warm Regards, Carin
