In Person and Online Therapy in Virginia
Ready for In Person Therapy?
Are you looking for a psychotherapist in Richmond, Virginia for in person sessions? Our main office is centrally located in the city of Richmond on Semmes Avenue, south of the James, between the Huguenot and Powhite bridges, close to Downtown, Manchester, North Chesterfield, and Bon Air, and just minutes from Carytown, the Fan, and Henrico County. We welcome University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) students and faculty to our office, as well.
Need the convenience of Online Therapy?
Live in Richmond but your schedule is too busy for in person sessions or getting out of your house is a challenge? Maybe you have a chronic illness or pain issues, or you are pregnant or have a new baby and have postpartum concerns? Or perhaps you are interested in experiential and somatic therapy but live in areas such as Charlottesville, Roanoke, Fredericksburg, Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, DC, Northern Virginia (e.g. Arlington, Fairfax, Alexandria) or rural Virginia and don’t have access to a therapist with our specialities? We are proud to share that our highly skilled therapists are very successful at meeting our clients just as effectively in our online teletherapy.
Accessibility of Online Therapy
We are here to remove barriers to you being able to access counseling. You might be a couple who lives or works in two separate cities. Maybe you’re a college student who has left Richmond or Williamsburg to a school elsewhere in Virginia. Life circumstances, chronic pain or illness, surgeries, a new baby or any other reasons for being inbound should not keep you from being able to get your mental health needs met with a skilled and compassionate trauma therapist.
The Benefits of Online Therapy
Online therapy isn’t just a convenient option—it can be a truly transformative experience. Whether you’re at home, in your office, or anywhere you feel safe, virtual sessions allow you to get the support you need without disrupting your life.
Why Choose Online Therapy?
Therapy, In Your Own Space
Your home, your energy. Online therapy lets you stay grounded in the environment where you feel most secure. This can actually deepen the therapeutic work because you’re already in a space where you’re comfortable being yourself.
Easier Integration Into Daily Life
Online sessions make it easier to weave therapy into your regular routine—before work, during a lunch break, or right after the kids are off to school. No commute means you can use that extra time to reflect, journal, or simply breathe.
No Travel Time, No Traffic Stress
Skip the drive and the post-session transition time. With online therapy, your session starts and ends when you need it to, helping you keep your momentum and stay connected to your daily flow.
Private and Accessible
Whether you’re in Richmond or a rural area, you can access quality care from licensed therapists without needing to leave your home. It’s discreet, secure, and tailored to you.
Somatic Therapy Works Online, Too
Body-based, or somatic, therapy isn’t limited to the therapy room. Many clients find that practicing somatic techniques in their own space—whether it’s grounding, breathwork, movement, or body awareness exercises—can feel more natural and even more powerful.
Our somatic-based therapists are trained to guide you through practices that support nervous system regulation, trauma healing, and mind-body connection, all through secure video sessions. We help you create a space that feels supportive, even if it’s just a quiet corner or a comfy chair. You’ll learn how to track your sensations, access safety, and integrate somatic tools directly into your daily environment.
Healing happens where you are.
Online Therapy Q & A
Q: Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
A: Yes. Research consistently shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions, especially for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and stress management.
Q: What if I don’t have a private space at home?
A: Many clients get creative—some use parked cars, walk-in closets, or take walks during sessions with earbuds. Your therapist can help brainstorm ways to make it work.
Q: Will I feel connected through a screen?
A: Most people are surprised by how connected they feel during virtual sessions. In fact, many find it easier to open up when they’re in a familiar environment.
Q: Do I need special tech or apps?
A: Just a phone, tablet, or computer with a stable internet connection. We’ll guide you through the secure platform we use—no tech expertise required.
Q: What if I have a hard time getting motivated for therapy at home?
A: That’s totally normal. One of the benefits of online therapy is learning to bring mindfulness and emotional awareness into your everyday environment. Your therapist can help create gentle rituals to support your sessions, like lighting a candle or setting a calming space.
Our counselors can treat your anxiety, trauma, depression, substance abuse, maternal mental health concerns, grief and loss, and more. We are here to help people of all ages. Our therapists help young children and their parents, teens, college students, adults, couples, and people with health conditions and chronic pain through either in person or online telemental health.
