Therapists in Suffolk, VA
Even in natural areas where nature prevails, sometimes you need help to overcome these barriers. Luckily, there are counselors in Suffolk that are ready to help you tackle the problems in life.
Suffolk is known for many of the natural waterways, protected natural areas and refuges, and the fact that it was hit by a huge tornado back in 2008. But, just like how the city did, you can always recover from the tornadoes of life, and with the help of a mental health counselor in the area, you can take back your life regardless of the damage that’s happened, and any other struggles that happened along the way.

No matter who you are or where you are in life, it has it's challenges! Don't go it alone! I'm passionate about creating space for you to be your authentic self while helping you take steps to live your best life. I provide creative interventions for youth (8-18), especially those involved in court services, school disciplinary action, foster care, or have had traumatic experiences. I also work directly with families to help create the communication and atmosphere they desire. I help adults find purpose and direction, as well as strategies for managing depression, anxiety, life's stressors and transitions. Everyone has a unique story, so I believe in flexible and individualized treatment. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, EMDR, Family Systems, Solution-Focused and culturally sensitive approaches. While I work with all walks of life, I also have a niche in working with Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). I see you and would love to build you up and give you the tools to embark on life's journey. Give yourself permission to discover the best you!

Hello, and welcome to Better Help! My name is Tina Parcell, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia with over 25 years of experience helping individuals address and overcome life's challenges. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Norfolk State University in Norfolk, Virginia and I am a transplant to Virginia having been raised in Upstate New York. Over the past 25 years as a clinician, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of receiving help, and benefiting from it, is by far the connection and comfort you feel with the person you choose to share your struggles with. I believe it's very important to be open-minded and non-judgmental when someone shares their personal story or experiences with me. I will tailor our work together and the plan we develop to meet your individual and identified needs. I've worked in many different settings with individuals and families who have a variety of personal issues such as depression, anxiety, stress, family problems, trauma/abuse, relationships/parenting and more. I believe we can all grow through challenging experiences by increasing our self-awareness, and developing realistic strategies that result in desired change. It takes courage to seek assistance for a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first step towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower as you move forward. It would be my privilege to be that person for you. I look forward to working with you! You are welcome to message me anytime through BetterHelp.

I believe that each person is on a unique journey. Each person has their own story and when life becomes overwhelming we loose sight of our path on that journey. Therapy is a collaborative effort - it is the persons' journey and the therapist is a guide. Each person has the ability to find their way within their environment to be the best they want to be. Being "stuck" or "unsure" of your path can be the catalyst to making changes that you have been afraid to make. I look forward to helping you on your personal journey. Please message me to schedule a time.
