Cypress Counseling

I received a Bachelor's degree in recreation therapy and facilitated experiential therapy with children and adolescents for over ten years before graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Master's in Clinical Social Work.

I completed two intensive clinical internships and provided three years of psychotherapy with victims of domestic and sexual violence before becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia.I am now in private practice and work with individuals, couples, and groups using a humanistic approach to establish rapport and connecting to clients.

We also offer the complimentary services of Ayervdic Medicine, Birthing From Within, GAPS & Reiki. See our About Us section for more detail. Following the birth of a child, some new mothers (and a small percent of new fathers or partners) experience mild depression, a condition popularly referred to as "the baby blues."

All sessions are set times that are scheduled a week or more in advance with your therapist as we do not accept walk-ins or non-client emergencies. If you are not currently a client and are experiencing a crisis or emergency please call 911, your local mental health center or go to the nearest Emergency Room.

Psychotherapy consists of a series of techniques for treating mental health, emotional and some psychiatric disorders. Psychotherapy helps people understand what helps them feel positive or anxious, as well as accepting themselves. If people can identify their feelings and ways of thinking they become better at coping with difficult situations and can live with more joy and authentic happiness.
