Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

I practice from the belief that humans are complex beings with amazing capabilities. Obstacles and challenging situations can block us from using our capabilities to their full potential, changing the ways we think, the ways that we live our lives, and the ways in which we relate to others. As a clinician, I believe that therapy can be used as a resource to for living out our potential. Everyone is capable of change, and I act as a resource for individuals in need to work through the limitations of health burdens, social injustices, relationship problems, and the other challenging issues. My treatment model incorporates several therapeutic strategies for a personalized approach to each client. All of my services are rendered in a way culturally competent and respectful of race, sexuality, gender, and other important identities. I spend considerable time getting to know the individuals who are within my care as we collaborate in this process

I am a clinical psychologist specializing in anxiety disorders and the intersection of health and mental health (e.g., sleep disorders, chronic pain, headaches, GI disorders, chronic illness). I provide a collaborative approach to therapy and meet clients where they are. I find a lot of power in understanding the "why" behind what's happening in our brains and bodies when we're anxious or in pain and want to share that information with clients so they have a sense of agency. I have the PsyPACT passport and am able to see you in most states if you're returning home for holiday or summer break in most cases. Summit is a group practice located near the intersection of Three Chopt and Parham. We operate as out-of-network providers and can offer a Superbill for services, so you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. See our website for more information and fee schedule.

I work with individuals (13+) of all races, ethnicities, spiritual identities, and am LGBTQ+ affirming. In my therapeutic practice, I integrate various modalities, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and body-based therapies, with a particular focus on trauma healing. My approach is enriched by insights from neurobiology and empirical insights into trauma's impact on the nervous system. I am a sister, a friend, a struggling potter. I have my own therapist because I believe I cannot take anyone on a journey, I have not taken myself. I intentionally keep my private practice small because I want to be able to provide the best care for my clients. This means I am often unable to take clients that do not fit within my scope of expertise. I will not be a good fit for you if: 1)You have actively engaged in self-harm or suicide attempts in the past year. 2) You are struggling with substance abuse or addiction. 3) You are engaged in ongoing court or legal system involvement. You are already capable of profound healing and my job is to simply to guide you toward that capacity with compassion, insight, creativity and, always a bit of humor.

I'm Nick and I specialize in supporting clients with anxiety, grief, trauma/PTSD, and depression. Treatment is personalized to each client, but draws from evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, ACT, and CBT. Every client’s needs are different, so no two sessions look exactly alike. There are still some constants you can expect to see across all therapy meetings with me: -Therapy in a relaxed and collaborative manner -Treatment that’s personalized to you -Support that draws from evidence based techniques -Topics that are typically difficult feel more manageable to discuss I value the benefits of in-person meetings in a world that is increasingly remote. I strives to understand who you are beyond the mental health difficulties you face. Clients have described my therapeutic style as warm, involved, curious, and attentive. Please reach out if you would like to learn more about me, my approach, or the practice. I offer free 15-minute consultations to ensure a good fit before moving forward.

I am especially passionate about helping people discover their authentic selves!

Rather than pathologizing behaviors or emotions, I like to help clients figure out what their thoughts, actions and feelings are trying to help them discover about themselves. Together, through a collaborative process, we'll help you thrive and live your best life!

I believe all individuals have an untold story within, and there is no greater honor as a therapist than to both hear and hold their story and pain with them. I am a collaborative therapist who believes in clients' autonomy and views clients as the experts of their own lives. Through a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment therapy, I work with individuals to learn to more clearly understand their story and present situation, deepen their self awareness, and grow towards a more peaceful, meaningful, and fulfilling life. For nearly a decade, I have treated a diverse range of clients in a variety of settings. I have specialized training in treating eating disorders and have worked with adults and families across levels of care. I am also comfortable and enjoy working with other client concerns including depression, anxiety, interpersonal challenges, and life transitions. My office is conveniently located in downtown Richmond, Virginia and is accessible from Henrico, Chesterfield, and Hanover. Please reach out directly to set up a 10-15 minute consultation call to see if we might be a good fit.

As a clinical psychologist I am eager to work with people who are ready to figure out why they are stuck and create a clear plan to make meaningful changes in their lives. I have three areas of expertise in my work. I help people who are feeling overwhelmed with and paralyzed by anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms reclaim their life and create more peace and happiness. I do this by partnering with clients to provide private, specialized, and personalized Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-Based therapies for anxiety and depression. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ people in therapy to create an affirming, therapeutic space for working on specific LGBTQ+ concerns or on general mental health concerns, such as anxiety or depression.

Welcome! I support individuals, couples, and those in ENM/poly relationships of all backgrounds in building meaningful lives by providing a safe space to explore identity, tend to past wounds, practice new ways of relating to themselves and others, and overcome barriers to authenticity—such as social pressure, anxiety, or trauma. I’m particularly passionate about supporting clients in reclaiming their sexual wellness and intimacy through honest, courageous communication. My approach to therapy—grounded in “parts” work and person-centered care—is warm, affirming, and unapologetically human. As a queer, neurodivergent person of color, I draw from lived experience, training, and community wisdom to create affirming spaces where all parts feel welcome. This helps us focus on developing inner trust, resilience, and skills to “brave the wilderness” in ways that honor your uniqueness rather than fitting you into a box that wasn’t designed for you. If you’re looking for a sincere, collaborative environment for all of you and your relationships, I invite you to email or call me to set up a consultation. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey together!

My goal is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can lean into self-discovery and growth. The human experience is a complicated one, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, stressed, having relationship struggles, or are simply in a new phase of life I can help you navigate these obstacles. I believe using a holistic approach is pivotal to the therapeutic process. Past experiences may be at the root of current behaviors and patterns. Let’s navigate the past together to better understand and empower your present self. To benefit from the therapeutic process I believe consistency, curiosity, and compassion are key. Consistently showing up for yourself by tending to your head and heart is imperative to the growth. Being curious about how you operate as a human sets the stage for autonomy in life. Compassion for your past and present self can lead to long-term improvements. I provide integrative therapy that combines evidence-based approaches such as attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy to meet your individualized needs.
