Hello, my name is Joe Gasperini. I live in Southern Virginia after having grown up in upstate New York and Los Angeles, CA. I am married and the father of eight children ranging in age from 19 to 43. During my spare time I am interested in activities of my children, sports (especially golf), travel, and insight into social behavior. Therapy is a place where you can feel heard in a supportive, comfortable and warm environment. When life is overwhelming and stressful, or relationships are struggling, counseling can help. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, we will work together to help you reduce the suffering you may feel. I want to hear about what is hurting you and stopping you from moving forward in a happy and positive way in your life. Together we will decide on a plan of action to get you back to where you want to be as quickly as possible and develop a way to keep you there. Due to my very diverse background and having gone through many of life's ups and downs myself, I have learned how best to treat a multitude of life's issues. This helps to come up with effective plans to alleviate problems by understanding where you are coming from. My approach to counseling is interactive, down-to-earth and collaborative. I strive to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where you feel free to openly discuss whatever issues you feel most important. Together, we can work to give you the tools you need to create the life you want. I have BS degree in Finance and Economics from Syracuse University and a MA degree in Licensed Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I am also a Certified Anger Management Specialist II. I look forward to working with you.

My name is Cristal Jenkins, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia, Washington State, Oregon, California and Florida. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Washington in 2012. I've had the privilege of working with individuals and families in various settings over the past 15+ years. My experience spans many areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, parenting challenges, vocational stress, and addiction. I specialize in trauma therapy, which means I help people who have experienced distressing, overwhelming, or life-altering events that continue to affect their thoughts, emotions, or relationships. Trauma can manifest in many ways—persistent anxiety, difficulty trusting others, emotional numbness, or feeling "stuck" in past experiences. Through a compassionate, strengths-based approach, I work with clients to gently process their experiences, build resilience, and rediscover their sense of self and safety. At the heart of my practice is the belief that people are incredibly resilient and that healing is possible with the right support. I bring a calm, open-minded, and nonjudgmental presence to my work. I see each client through a strengths-based lens, helping you recognize and use your inner resources to move forward with confidence and hope. You're welcome to message me anytime through BetterHelp. One of the great benefits of this platform is the ability to communicate more frequently and flexibly than in traditional therapy. I typically check messages twice a day, Monday through Friday, and offer sessions through video, phone, live chat, or asynchronous messaging—whatever suits your comfort level and schedule. I'm honored to walk with you through this chapter, and I look forward to getting to know you and supporting your growth. Best regards, Cristal Jenkins, LCSW
