Hi! Thank you for wanting to learn more about me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been providing clinical services for the past 18 years. I believe in meeting each person "where they are" in their journey and forming a trusting relationship so that you feel connected and motivated to work toward healing. I strongly believe that relationships are the agent for change, so I work best with others who believe the same. If you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life changes (big or small), transitions, or the stress of life, I would like to talk with you. I will serve as a sounding board, listening ear, and someone to process your experiences with, without judgment.

“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain…” ~Vivian Greene My focus in therapy is teaching individuals how to dance in the rain. I have had the pleasure of serving individuals and families in various community behavioral health settings with a wide range of concerns to include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress/trauma, and grief/loss. Through a structured, empathetic, and collaborative approach, I have been able to effectively support individuals/families with rediscovering their strengths, embracing their humanness, and finding their balance. I am known for my sense of humor, compassion, and creativity. I enjoy incorporating art, meditation, and journaling into therapy. I have been in the social work field for over 10 years. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University, earning my Bachelor of Social Work Degree in 2010 and Master of Social Work Degree in 2012 – GO RAMS! I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2019. Witnessing the growth and resilience of the individuals and families I serve is what motivates me to remain in the field. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my senior pup, visiting local and national parks, being in the company of my amazing family & friends, and, most importantly, dancing in the rain!

I am licensed in Virginia with 5 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and life changes/transitions. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. In our lives we can struggle as individuals and within our family systems, regardless of whether we are children, teens, or adults. I believe therapy is a way to take time to focus and challenge beliefs around the different stressors in each individual’s life. Stress is a part of everyday life, there is no way to avoid it. I believe that with empathy and therapeutic support individuals can face these stressors head on and work to improve their quality of life, inner strength, and happiness. Therapy should be a safe space to explore and challenge uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through compassion and empathy. As a counselor, I use empathy and compassion to assist with challenging unhelpful thought patterns that are keeping each individual stuck in a place of distress. I use a person-centered approach, CBT, DBT, play therapy techniques, and trauma informed modalities to assist individuals with developing skills to address and cope with stress in their life. I believe anyone (children, teens, adults) has the ability to create change within their lives to reduce the distress they are experiencing. It is my goal to use the therapeutic relationship as a safe space for change and growth. If you are looking to make a change or to improve your quality of life, please reach out for information or scheduling.

8 years of experience as a mental health therapist serving Trout Dale

Hi! My name is Robin Carver. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW since 2002. I come to this position with varied professional experiences. I completed an internship at a domestic violence shelter, provided intensive, in-home counseling to families for 1.5 years, worked on a mental health unit at a local hospital providing discharge planning, group work and conducted suicide assessments for 6 years. I spent 4.5 years working in a Therapeutic Day Treatment Program at both a middle school and elementary school (5 yo-18 yo), in which I offered a minimum of one hour of therapeutic intervention and support to children/adolescents, on a daily basis. I was in a supervisory role for the TDT Program and a School Based Outpatient Counseling Program for the last 11 years, supervising clinicians in these positions and providing supervision for their LPS/LCSW licensure. I also supervised an Intensive Care Coordination program, one of the most intensive therapeutic services available for youth, for 2 years. I have counseled adults and teens via the BetterHelp online platform since May 2022. These numerous experiences have helped me to grow in my professional development immensely as well as provided me with varied opportunities to develop and strengthen my clinical skills. I feel that building a strong and trusting relationship is the foundation to a successful therapeutic experience. Hence, that is the focus of my work, finding a way to join with you where you are in life. Being warm, kind, accepting, non-judgmental, listening and reflecting are core principles I utilize in counseling. Once a trusting relationship has been established, I will begin working with you to find strategies that will work to alleviate the various symptoms you may be experiencing. I find it extremely rewarding to help you identify your strengths and values, teach you coping skills and strategies to assist you in overcoming challenging situations in a positive way and being there for you in times of need. Sometimes, you just need a person to trust, someone who will listen to you, someone to be with you in your most difficult moments. I am humbled to have this opportunity and cherish each and every person with whom I have the opportunity to work. I believe that everyone is unique, strong and resilient and I enjoy being able to walk beside you in your journey of self-growth. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you! Warmly, Robin Carver, LCSW

My name is Jalisa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience providing therapy services. I have worked in a wide range of therapeutic settings to include: inpatient psychiatric hospital, residential behavioral treatment facility, a medical hospital (working within a pediatric intensive care unit), as well as within higher education. I have experience working with clients affected by depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma and relationship challenges from individual, group and family work. While I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, my approach is extremely client centered. I believe that you, the client, are the experts on your life and determine the direction and depth of therapy. Through a strengths-based and solutions-focused lens, I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I am also trained in the evidence based model of Functional Family Therapy (FFT) where I view the entire family unit as the identified client, working to engage and motivate, facilitate behavior change, and generalize the skills learned to areas outside of the home. I do not take it lightly that you have chosen me to support you during what may be a challenging time in your life. My hope is to aid you in living a more empowered and peaceful life! My areas of interest include racial equality and ethnic diversity, women's empowerment, and the relationship between physical/mental wellness.

Hello, my name is Kieshara Matthews. I am a Supervisee in Social Work in Virginia. I attended the illustrious Norfolk State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s in Social Work in December 2019. I then continued my education at Fordham University where I obtained my Master’s in Social Work in August 2020. In October of 2020 I became certified as a Qualified Mental Health Professional for adults and children. Prior to entering the field of Social Work, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant providing care and support to clients and their families. I’ve always been passionate about providing exceptional service and care to assist people with overcoming obstacles to reach their full potential. I am passionate about helping people heal from childhood trauma and break generational curses. I currently provide therapy to young adults and adults who seek support managing the demands of adulting, relationship distress, and family relationships. Lately have you been feeling frustrated or unsure where you are going in life? If so, I can help by providing the support and guidance you need to get you to the next level. Through a non-judgmental, client-centered, and strength-based approach, I provide a nurturing environment and safe environment which allows for my clients to process their thoughts and feelings to provide clarity when they need it the most. Utilizing therapeutic techniques from various treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness I strive to help clients deal with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, boundary setting, financial distress, parenting needs, life transitions, and other issues that may arise. My Career in the field of social work started in January 2019 when I interned as a career counselor at Norfolk State University's Career Services Center reducing barriers to employment for students and alumni. While working in the career center I administered personality tests which helped explore the best matches for meaningful career placement for those entering college trying to decide on a major, those who had started their college career but were unhappy with their current degree choice, as well as those who had been in the workforce for some time but needed a change. I also helped reduce anxiety surrounding interviews by assisting clients with breaking down interview questions while exploring skillsets clients could offer their future employers. In addition, I facilitated resume workshops to assist students with building resumes and provided edits when needed. In January 2020 I went on to intern at Virginia Beach Psychiatric center working as a Social Work Intern helping adults age 18 and older to identify unhealthy thoughts to stabilize their moods and behaviors. During this time, I completed comprehensive assessments to assist clients with identifying their barriers to treatment. I facilitated psychosocial group sessions for those suffering from mental health disorders and substance abuse. In addition, I provide family counseling to assist clients with verbalizing the support needed from their families as well as provide psychoeducation on various disorders for the client’s families. I also provided case management by collaborating with the client’s psychiatrist and other community-based services. In January 2021 I started providing intensive in-home services to children, adolescents, and their families with Compass Youth and Family Services. During this time, I have provided mental health services to at-risk youth suffering from mental disorders as well as behavioral services. I provide crisis management for those experiencing imminent danger of being placed outside of their home. In addition, I’ve provided coaching for parents educating them on various parenting techniques to assist with strengthening the parent-child relationship. I’ve also provided brief sessions for parents to explore the effects unhealed trauma has on their parenting process. Utilizing family sessions, I’ve worked to help clients find healthy ways of communicating with each other. In addition, I provide clinical case management services by linking clients with various community-based resources in addition to collaborating with client’s medication management doctors as well as other treatment team providers. If you are ready to start your healing journey and to reach your full potential I am here to assist! Let’s get started today!

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Trout Dale counselor?

Before seeing your Trout Dale therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. Trout Dale therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy in Trout Dale.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice from a therapist. A Trout Dale licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy with a Trout Dale counselor can be dependent on your process.

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
