Living in a town such as Vienna is a dream come true for American history lovers since Washington D.C. is such a short drive away. There's no better place to reach back into the nation's past, back to the formation of our government, to get a real appreciation of the country.
But for many of us, looking back into the past is hard to do, especially when it comes to our personal past. If mental health struggles are keeping you from reaching back to the past and facing your future head on, please reach out to a Vienna-area mental health professional today.

Toy Newcomb
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in the state of Virginia and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) certified by the International Association of Trauma Professionals. I also hold a Graduated Certificate from Liberty University in Pastoral Counseling. My counseling experience includes working with individuals who have experienced a variety of reasons for seeking help to include but not limited to trauma, grief/loss, substance abuse, self-worth/self-esteem issues, stress management, relationship challenges, symptom management, spiritual conflicts, effective/assertive communication, depression and anxiety. Additionally, I have facilitated support and counseling groups for the geriatric population and their adult caregivers. By offering Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused-Brief Therapy (SFBT), I am able to walk side by side with individuals seeking healing and wellness. Walking side by side means providing a safe environment for you to speak freely while I listen, ask questions, provide feedback and challenge thoughts that may reveal "stuck points", thereby empowering you to make positive change while meeting your treatment goals. I look forward to working with you whether you are seeking Christian counseling or non-faith based counseling.

I am happy to work with people who are experiencing a wide variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, and just general life stresses, but I've focused my work over the last few years on those who are struggling with PTSD and past trauma, and I find joy and purpose in helping people overcome their past and embrace a healthy future. I acknowledge the courage that it takes to take the first step toward healing, and I'm looking forward to traveling on this journey with you.
