Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

Being a human can be hard. We are given tools early in life to navigate this world and sometimes we get it right and other times we struggle for one reason or another. Sometimes milestones and life transitions bring up things you didn't think were issues or remind you of things you may have avoided over the years. We do our best to recover from anxiety, depression, trauma and other stressors on our own but sometimes we need outside support that goes beyond what friends, family and loved ones can provide. Sit Awhile & Heal is a safe space where you can process thoughts and emotions that impact your daily functioning or a place to work through things from your past and/or present that have impacted you more than you imagined. We want to live by our name. We use evidence based practice and meet people where they are without judgement or expectations of you being anything other than yourself. So if you are someone that needs some extra support for a bit, or someone that is open to change, ready to do the hard work that comes along with ending generational trauma or someone that is weary from caring for others at the expense of yourself, reach out and come "sit awhile and heal".

The clients I work best with are often high achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside, while feeling exhausted, disconnected, or anxious underneath. Many are caught in patterns that started long before the people they're dating or partnered with, like difficulty setting boundaries, feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions, or struggling to trust that their needs matter too. I also work with couples who've lost their sense of safety together, whether from a betrayal, a hard life transition, or years of the same argument on repeat. What they tend to have in common is a readiness to stop just managing symptoms and actually understand what's underneath them. They're willing to slow down, get curious about their patterns, and do the sometimes uncomfortable work of reconnecting, with themselves or with their partner. I bring a warm, direct style to this work, and I believe healing happens through relationship, not through willpower alone.

Life’s struggles don’t just go away or clear up on their own. I help people move toward their peak functioning: in academics, employment, or relationships. I focus on helping my clients gain tools, transformed perspectives, and the support they need to gain resilience so they can rise up to meet life as it is instead of hoping it will change for them. In the process, they change their life. Let’s address the root issues so you can move forward. Whether you’re navigating the effects of trauma, debilitated by anxiety, or simply struggling with figuring out who you want to be, let's get to work! After planning to be an English professor, I got into therapy when I realized I didn’t want to write papers about books for the rest of my life—I wanted to talk to people about what matters most to them. Some methods I find helpful for achieving that are: CBT, EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy. I enjoy bike rides, kayaking, tinker crates with my kids and other adventures with my family. I like doing other people's home improvement projects so I can delay my own. I was a foster parent for several years, and I have lived in Kentucky, Ohio, and California. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you be all you are capable of becoming.

I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals who are seeking healing and change. Anxiety, panic, depression, conflict, stress and overwhelm, impact of transitions, OCD, and communication challenges are all areas where I can be most effective working with my patients. My specialty is TEAM-CBT, a form of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I find that using this approach with my clients makes it possible to reach their desired outcome rapidly and effectively and empowers them with methods they can apply to maintain their progress moving forward. Embarking on a journey of self-exploration and self-improvement through the process of therapy is a profound experience. I am honored to have an opportunity to work together with you to help you meet your personal goals for change.

The people who tend to find their way to me are usually carrying more than they let on. They’re smart, self-aware enough to know something isn’t working. They’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, feeling like they’re watching their own life from a slight distance. Sound familiar? I’ve been doing this work for over fifteen years, but honestly the reason I’m a therapist goes back way further than that. I was the kid who noticed when people were struggling. The one who wanted to understand what was actually going on beneath the surface. That never went away. I’m a parent. I play music. I read fiction and think about it too much. I’m not a blank wall you talk at; I’m a real person, and I bring that into the room with me. If something here feels right, trust that. A free consultation costs you nothing but fifteen minutes, and you’ll know pretty quickly whether it’s a fit. No commute. No waiting room. Just show up as you are.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Counseling is about working toward desired changes in ourselves and/or our lives. What I try to do best is help people figure out what changes they hope for and start working toward those. Some people want to experience more peace when things are stressful. Others want to feel confident when change is happening. Whatever it may be, feel free to reach out and we can begin to have conversations that will hopefully move you in a direction that you are satisfied with.

Hardworking, ambitious, fucking exhausted. I work with women (18–30) who look like they have it together but are absolutely depleting themselves to stay that way. They’re responsible, creative, used to handling a lot…but they’re tired of overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling like no matter how hard they work, it’s never enough. Some have anxiety, depression, ADHD, or trauma histories. Others just know something feels off, that life feels heavier than it should. Often, they’re great at coping on the outside, which can make it hard to admit they’re struggling at all. But let’s be honest: Appearing “fine” is a full-time job. In therapy, we slow things down on purpose. We look at the patterns you’ve been stuck in — people-pleasing, avoidance, self-criticism — and figure out what’s actually driving them. We work with your nervous system instead of fighting against it. We build practical tools that help you move forward in your life. My style is warm, direct, & honest. I care deeply about my clients and will absolutely challenge you when it matters. I use EMDR, ACT, & DBT skills in ways that are personal and actually useful.

Hi, I’m Dianne. I’m glad you’re here! I’m here to support you to be free from fear and anxiety, align to inner guidance, develop nourishing relationships, and make choices from a place of love, curiosity, and possibility. My intention is that our sessions allow you to feel deeply known, and that through our work you’ll feel more free to be authentic in your life and relationships. Together, we’ll get to know you — your patterns, your strengths, your desires — so you become your own best teacher, with me as a steady support along the way. I hold a Master’s of Social Work from Smith College. I’ve worked with individuals of diverse ages, identities, and backgrounds in community mental health in New York City and in educational settings including San Francisco International High School and Vassar College. I trained in post-abortion counseling with Exhale Pro Voice, and I participated in FemSex, now called GenSex, an anti-oppression workshop for people of all identities about sexuality, gender, consent, and privilege. Before returning to school to train as a therapist, I worked for several years in international women’s rights, food justice, and bilingual education. I draw from psychodynamic, relational, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches. If you’re struggling with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or questions of meaning and purpose, let’s talk.

Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that we as humans are most balanced when we feel safe and understood, non-judgmentally. As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I strive to ensure that clients are provided the space to effectively express themselves in a way that makes sense to them. I have years of experience working with college students like you who may be feeling overwhelmed with the load of academics, expectations, and also trying to maintain a social life and practice self-care. Sometimes, just having a neutral person to talk to is all you need. My approach to therapy is prioritizing your needs and personalizing sessions to reflect that. Specifically, the therapeutic styles that I utilize are Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I believe that therapy is done at your pace. Ultimately, therapy is about recognizing that your mental health matters (just as much as physical health) and valuing the process to get there.

Yvette Ghormley is a Resident in Counseling who works with college students navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and life transitions.
