Connection is powerful and makes therapy an interpersonal experience. I also believe therapy is a positive way to learn how to trust and grow. My goal is to allow you to address strengths and barriers to healthy relationships, healthy living, and overall healing. 

​

I have over 15 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in a variety of mental health settings. I specialize in trauma, substance use and abuse, depression, self-esteem/self-worth, stress, and relationships. My approach is person-centered, relaxed, and non-judgmental. My treatment method utilizes aspects of trauma informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, experiential therapy and am a trained Brainspotting practioner. I tailor sessions to meet your needs because this is all about you.

Therapy is a place to build the bridge to your goals.  My goal is to help you find and use those tools to build that bridge.  I believe a non-judgmental, warm and authentic approach is the best way to help you feel comfortable and open.  My approach tends to be direct and I often use humor.

​

I have worked in the field for over 15 years in variety of counseling environments.  I have worked with children, adults, couples and families. I tend to lean towards TF-CBT, CBT, DBT approaches and am a trained Brainspotting practitioner which allows me to focus on you, your needs and goals.

I have worked in the field for over 12 years, working with a number of populations in the psychiatric and mental health settings.  After working many years as a psychiatric RN, I was motivated to become a Nurse Practitioner and be able to provide the community the support and care they deserve. I have a holistic approach and work with all ages.  I provide medication management to individuals who are managing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, PTSD and more. 

​

I look forward to working with you and your support system to help you become the best version of yourself!

​

Sometimes words just aren't enough and utilizing art therapy can allow for a different approach to life's challenges.  My hope is help you find your voice and meet your goals.  Being an art therapist and a counselor allow me to have a person-centered approach to therapy that may look like traditional therapy or a combination with art therapy techniques.

My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, complex trauma, behavioral challenges and self-esteem issues.  

​

Your life is your canvas.  Let me help you paint the picture of your dreams!

​

​

Therapy is a way to explore who we are and what we believe in. I believe every individual has the ability to enact the change they want to see in their lives when given the correct tools. I believe that humor and creativity can be healing, and often utilize them in session. 

 

My approach to treatment often includes aspects of CBT, Trauma Informed Care, and strengths-based therapy. I have worked with individuals of all ages in a variety of therapeutic settings. I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues and relationship difficulties. 

 

I am so glad you’re here. I am looking forward to helping you become the best version of yourself you can be!

​

​

I believe that therapy can be a valuable tool to help manage all of life’s stressors. When we hide away our emotions, we often find ourselves overwhelmed and unable to cope. It’s my goal to help you in managing the feelings we often tuck away. I often take on a direct approach and I believe in meeting you where you are. 

 

My therapy leans on aspects of DBT, Trauma-Informed Care, and a strength-based approach. I also value psychology and I like to often teach about how the brain responds in difficult situations. 

 

I have experience working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. My primary age groups of focus are children and adolescents. 

​

​

Life is full of challenges. Everyday we are tested with more than we can seemingly handle. My job is to walk beside you and support you as you face these challenges head on. No matter how daunting or insignificant the challenge seems, I’ll be there for you each step of the way.

 

I believe you have all the strength and power within yourself to overcome anything life throws your way. My job is to be your sounding board and realistic supporter through your counseling journey. I will push you gently to dig deep under the surface and cheer you on as you achieve your goals.

 

I specialize in trauma, women related issues, perinatal, anxiety, depression, and Christian faith-based challenges. I utilize EMDR, strengths based, CBT, and solution-focused therapy approaches to guide you to healing. I look forward to working with you on your journey!

​

​

​

​

​

​

Life is a journey that involves moving through stages of self-awareness, knowledge, clarity, and wisdom. I believe everyone has the strength to travel this journey, but sometimes we need some assistance along the way. When we begin therapy, we enter onto the path that allows us to explore and reconnect with all parts of ourselves to achieve wholeness.  

 

My therapeutic approach is diverse and includes aspects of Jungian therapy, Buddhist CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Indigenous teachings. I often utilize tarot cards, guided meditations, and a sprinkle of humor. I have experience working with ADHD, anxiety, personality disorders, depression, PTSD, military life, and cultural conflicts.  

 

I am greatly looking forward to walking the path to healing with you and helping you achieve your dreams!

​

I strongly believe that people need people. We are social beings and we thrive on connection to and support from others. Whether we are going through an unusually stressful time or we need more engaged and thorough support, having someone to lean on can make a world of difference. 

 

I use techniques from CBT, DBT, and mindfulness and maintain a trauma- informed approach with all clients. I have experience with adolescents and adults in inpatient crisis settings, as well as children and adolescents as a Military Family Life Counselor- in addition to my own experience as a military spouse. I focus on individuals 13 years and older struggling with anxiety, LGBTQIA+ concerns, military- related issues, and women’s issues. 

 

My place as a therapist is to help you untangle concerns, thoughts, beliefs, and possibilities into a workable, realistic plan of action for you to create the life you want. We will work together to figure out the path that works best for you and navigate it as partners. You are the expert of your own life; I am here to help you make sense of the universe’s shenanigans!

​

Sometimes, life throws us a curveball. And another. And another. Some of us can navigate these changes with our natural supports and resilience. For the rest of us, we have therapy. Therapy gives us the support to ask the questions we’re hesitant to ask and supports us through our journey of healing. Life is tough, but therapy is the place where one realizes they are tougher. 

​

My job as a therapist is to help my clients fully realize and express their power and control in their life to live their life to their healthiest. I connect with my clients to ascertain realistic, creative ways to successfully navigate the hardships that come our way. Whether you created your own conflict or found yourself put into a conflict by someone or something else, there is a way to make it through for the better. I work with adults, couples, and families working through challenges.      

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                              

Therapy is for everyone, but not every therapist is for everyone. Therapy is about connection and allowing someone into our most vulnerable moments. It is with this knowledge that I attempt to forge that connection with a person-centered approach with the desire to meet an individual where they are to be a guide during the healing process. With the utilization of the person-centered approach, I can empower my client to direct their own treatment. The implementation of empathic listening, humor, kindness/compassion, acceptance, and respect are all integral components of a prosperous therapeutic relationship.

​

My approach is integrative and utilizes aspects of CBT, trauma informed, solution focused, conflict resolution, and problem-solving therapies. I have experience working with various populations and ages. As a military spouse for over 18 years, I have a unique perspective and passion for assisting the men and women within the military community and their families, as well as their civilian counterparts, as they navigate the tumultuous realm of mental health.

​

It takes great strength to recognize and to seek help, be proud of your journey and I look forward to the opportunity to navigate it with you.

Therapy is a way to facilitate positive change, promote self-awareness, and self-acceptance. I believe in the power of fostering resilience and self-empowerment. My goal is to guide clients on a path toward healing, self-discovery, and improved mental well-being.

 

I offer a warm and empathetic approach to therapy, aiming to create a safe and collaborative environment for you to explore your challenges and work towards personal growth. 

 

My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Care, and strengths-based approaches, tailored to meet your unique needs and meet you where you are. I have worked with individuals of all ages in a variety of therapeutic settings. I have experience addressing a spectrum of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.

 

I am driven by a genuine passion for helping individuals achieve their fullest potential. I am dedicated to walking alongside you on your journey towards healing, self-acceptance, and being the best version of yourself.

​

​

Welcome! I am so glad that you are here. I believe that therapy is rooted in connection. Through this connection, we can work together to set goals that are realistic and important to you. 

​

My approach to therapy prioritizes creating a warm and validating space for growth and healing. In sessions I incorporate aspects of DBT, CBT, Trauma Informed Care. I value a person-centered, strengths-based approach to this work.

My name is John Copeland, and I am a licensed professional counselor. I've been practicing for more than 25 years. I have professional experience with clients experiencing diverse emotional, cognitive, and behavioral issues in need of resolution. My knowledge base has expanded with each stage of my personal development as a psychotherapist. I have worked with people facing various challenges including those related to single life relationship problems, family issues, women's and men's issues, the experiences of grief and loss, and hardships associated with trauma. Let me assist you in navigating the challenges in your life.

​

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you've faced, there's nothing wrong with seeking out extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired.

​

You are taking responsibility by accepting where you're at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

One of my first supervisors told me 90% of therapy is the relationship. This has stuck with me through my years of practice and shaped the way I think about the therapy process. I work to get to know my clients, validating their struggles and experiencing life with them, while providing skills and sprinkling laughter and sarcasm along the way. I show my real, enthusiastic, down-to-earth, quirky self, which allows my clients to love and look forward to therapy, despite it being difficult and not always fun.

​

My time in the military promoted growth and increased self-esteem, leaving me with a strong interest to support and inspire others, specifically teens due to my own struggles with confidence and self-worth through my teenage years. I graduated with a Master’s in Psychology in 2015 after working with homeless veterans with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. Very quickly, I realized that my heart still resided with helping adolescents. I started a position assisting severely-emotionally disturbed teens in a residential setting who were on probation and in foster care, as well as teens experiencing suicidal/homicidal ideations who were leaving mental health inpatient facilities. I have worked with teens since 2016 and love encouraging them to be the best version of their unique selves, because why would we want to be like everyone else?

Seeing a therapist can be daunting and intimidating. However, it can also be the best decision for you right now. Therapy is having an unbiased, non-judgmental, outside perspective to provide insights and questions to help you think more critically. This provides an opportunity for personal, spiritual, and professional growth. 

 

Everyone has a story to tell—even you. Therapy with me involves aspects of CBT, DBT, and Emotional Coaching to actively listen and help you work through it. With trauma-informed, and person-centered therapy I hope to help you realize a healthier, happier, and more whole you. I have experience working with individuals of all ages going through depression, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, relationship/family difficulties, and religious-based trauma & concerns.  

 

I’m glad you are taking these critical steps to begin your therapy journey and am excited to hear your story.

I was born in North Carolina and am a graduate of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I earned a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2016 and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia. 

I started her career as a residential counselor at Thompson Child and Family Focus Center, where I worked as an in-residence counselor for children for children with Reactive Attachment Disorder. I have since worked with children and their family in various settings to include schools, inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization and outpatient treatment.

I have the honor of being a military spouse and often refers to it as my superpower, that helps me along the way. I desire help children identify their strengths, validate their feelings, listen to their stories and help families recognize their resilience and capacity for growth, learning and change.

​Therapy can be an overwhelming and scary step to take. I believe the first step is creating a safe, open space to address the personal challenges you are experiencing. My goal is to ensure you are comfortable and to meet you where you are at on your own personal journey.

I have experience providing services to children and adults in various settings and levels of care, including schools, inpatient hospitalization and outpatient programs. I specialize in treating mood disorders, anxiety, personality disorders, and challenges with self-esteem. My approach to treatment is person-centered and solution-focused with a trauma informed lens. I incorporate aspects from multiple modalities, such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.

​

I look forward to supporting you and your unique journey!​​

“Has life got you down?” That classic question that we all come back to when things just seem a bit too crazy. The question that we’ve heard so many times, even when we were a kid. So let me ask you, has life got you down? Do you feel like your life has transitioned to a place where you feel lost, alone, or quite like nobody really understands what it’s like to be in your shoes? Has anxiety, depression, relational issues or trauma, family conflict or parenting issues beaten you down? Let me ask you one last question: is the idea of therapy terrifying? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please believe me, there’s a way.

I look at my clients from a relational standpoint and work to depathologize them. I don’t work to diagnose, I work to meet the goals of my clients and integrate these new changes and core values into their lives. For this, I use an eclectic therapy style, utilizing Play Therapy, Emotion-Coaching, and other attachment-based techniques.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, judgement-free atmosphere to allow your therapeutic journey to take its course. To show you that you no longer have to be, or have to feel, alone in the struggles that you face. To allow you to be you and to find beauty in what that holds. If it is in my scope, I want to help.​​

​​

​

I graduated from Eastern Virginia Medical School and now am resident in art therapy and counseling. Art therapy can be a helpful way to communicate without actually ever needing to say any words at all. Being able to use different art techniques in therapy can aid in a deeper understanding of how we may deal with our emotions and handle everyday life situations and stressors. 

​

I tend to use an integrative approach to therapy with its main approach revolving around being person-centered. I believe each person should have a say in how they want their treatment to look like and I can try my best to support them in their success. I have experience working with all ages in varying types of settings and tend to have a gentle approach to individuals in therapy no matter their age. I have experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, self-esteem issues, medical inflicted stressors, addictions, and behavioral challenges. 

 

I look forward to supporting you as you make the great leap to starting your healing journey.

Finding a person to talk to, that you feel comfortable with, can be difficult. My goal is to always provide a space where it feels comfortable and relaxing for you to let go of the things that are troubling you. Being a mom of two and the wife of a retired navy sailor I have spent a lot of my time in the therapeutic environment working with many different individuals. I learned early on that not one person is the same and that not every approach works for everyone. My goal is to never make you feel like coming to therapy is a chore but rather something you feel excited about doing as you work on healing yourself. I want to be along for YOUR journey and watch YOU make the magic happen.

 

My therapeutic approach is one that can be defined as person-centered. Having worked with children and adults, couples, military and families, I strive to learn who you are as a client and work with you at your pace. Do you just need a space to vent frustrations that you've been holding on to? I'm here for it. Do you need someone to help you process feelings and emotions? I've got your back. Whatever you're hoping to gain from therapy, my hope is to make it happen. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy we will work together to help discover how changing your thoughts can help change your feelings and lead to changes in your behavior. Via motivational interviewing techniques and narrative therapy, you are the writer of your story and you are able to take the reigns of the following chapters. 

 

I enjoy working with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, military-related issues, teens and adults. I am a strong believer that our past doesn't define us but helps to shape us and I would love to travel along your journey of self-discovery and growth as you continue to mold yourself into the person that you want to be. Our time together will be judgement free and used in a way that you feel you need that day. From playing games or drawing while we talk, to utilizing psychoeducation, each session will develop based on your needs in the moment, rather than "a game plan in mind." I am beyond excited to have you here and can't wait to see what amazing experiences we will share together as you navigate this world of healing!

It's my belief that therapy is the best form of self care where you can prioritize yourself in the healthiest of ways, be your most authentic self, and take up emotional space. In therapy, you are free from criticism, shame, guilt, or judgment. I believe in the power of the therapeutic process as it allows for a person to identify their emotions, acknowledge those emotions, and express them as they share their experiences to achieve a greater understanding of self and self love.

 

My therapeutic personality is warm, intuitive, and compassionate. I am a natural encourager by nature who does not pass judgment and is willing to walk alongside you throughout the therapeutic process. My priority is to create an emotionally safe and collaborative environment with you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences to achieve healing. Relationally trained, I strive to focus the therapeutic work in 3 areas: the relationship with yourself, with others, and in the world. I enjoy helping you explore your past and present experiences to increase greater self awareness, promote an understanding of your experiences, answer the "why's" that tend to haunt us, and create a life that you love.

 

My therapeutic style is strengths based and trauma informed. It integrates evidence-based practices such as Trauma Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Dream Analysis, Family Systems, Solution Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Motivational Interviewing, Career Counseling, and (ACT) Acceptance Commitment Therapy. I believe therapy is not a “one size fits all,” but instead an individualized approach tailored to meet your unique individual personality, needs, values and goals. I incorporate pop culture, music, reality TV, and movie examples along with references including the music of Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Ariana Grade.

 

My passion is in helping women heal from relational trauma and narcissistic abusive relationships.  I also specialize in women''s issues, people pleasing, boundaries, Type A personality, and codependency, stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, social anxiety, low self esteem, healing from break ups and divorce, relationship issues, red flags, life transitions, friendship issues, imposter syndrome, fear of missing out (FOMO), dating, communication, conflict avoidance, self abandonment, boundaries, and learning to love yourself. 

 

I also enjoy working with young adults and college students experiencing life stress, dating, friendship challenges, college stress, academic struggles, sorority stress, roommate issues, time management, college adjustment, roommate problems, academic/life balance. I provide in-person and virtual telehealth therapy to those college students residing in the state of Virginia, or attending college in the state of Virginia.​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Therapy is a big step for anyone to take. I appreciate the strength and courage it takes to make the decision to commit to counseling. Therapy is a place for individuals to come to explore their emotions and develop coping skills to deal with a multitude of struggles. It is a place to foster resilience and personal growth.

​

I believe in a non-judgemental, compassionate, and safe environment for all individuals that enter into therapy. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation to all progress. I work from a trauma informed background, helping clients navigate the complexities of their experiences. I am a Certified Trauma Specialist, trained in the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to assist clients in reclaiming their narratives.

​

I have been working in the counseling field for 3 years. I have worked with clients from all backgrounds and diagnoses; including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma. I utilize multiple therapy styles including CBT, Solution-Focused therapy, EMDR, and DBT. I will meet you where you are and leave all expectations of “normalcy” at the door.

 

I earned my bachelors and master’s in social work from the University of Louisville. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has worked in multiple mental health settings including in home and outpatient. 

​

As an outpatient therapist specializing in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Parent Management Training, I am committed to helping families navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships. My practice focuses on providing a supportive and nurturing environment where parents and children can work together to overcome behavioral and emotional obstacles.

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based, ensuring that families receive personalized support tailored to their unique needs. Whether you’re navigating behavioral issues, trauma-related stress, or seeking effective parenting strategies, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my two cocker spaniels. 

​

Together, we can create a nurturing environment where both parents and children thrive!
