Therapists in Saxis, VA

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am so encouraged that you have taken the most important step toward addressing issues of concern, the first step. My name is Karen Eldridge. I joined the counseling field a little late in life though many would tell you that makes me experienced at this thing we call life with its' many twists and turns, good times and bad. I believe that my life experience, and work in other professions has prepared me to walk with clients to address a wide variety of concerns. I use a wide paint brush so to speak of my counseling style that is centered solely on genuineness, responsibility and accountability. I want my clients to be as comfortable talking to me as they would to their closest, and most trusted friend rather than a professional so very far away. I believe that together we can push aside the fear and embarrassment that too many people associate with therapy to develop a collaborative partnership to discover hidden desires and talents that will allow you to live your life with purpose and passion.

I received my Master of Social Work from Howard University located in the District of Columbia. I have a strong passion for helping my clients uncover and eliminate any unhelpful thought patterns that have been hindering them from having a fulfilled, positive and productive life. I know that life can be hard, especially when it's full of traumatic events and life transitions. I view therapy as a road trip, where you are the driver, and I am the passenger riding along to keep you company. My role as the therapist is the passenger and I assist you to reach your destination. You may ask, what does that look like? Imagine that you are on a road trip with friends and each of them are in charge of something different. Such as, someone is in charge of the directions, someone is responsible for the music while traveling to make sure you do not fall asleep behind the wheel. Think of me as all of those individuals put into one person. My main goal is to be here to support and guide you to your destination. Therapy is not always an easy trip but as long as you are willing to keep putting forth the effort to reach your destination, I'll be there to support. My areas of focus includes: women's issues, perinatal/postpartum mental health, relationship issues, adjustment/ transition issues, anxiety, stress management, and grief and loss.
