Therapists for college students near University of Richmond
Hello! Life can be difficult and at times it can feel overwhelming to navigate everything on your own. Having a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood can make a huge impact in your ability to achieve your therapeutic goals. Together, we will create goals that feel achievable and will move you closer to what you’d like life to look like. I love using a combination of Trauma-Focused CBT, DBT concepts, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help reduce distressing symptoms from grief, anxiety, adjusting to college life, and PTSD. If you want to work through difficult past experiences, talk through home sickness, overcome anxiety, or anything in between, I'd love to be a listening ear! I believe that you have to connect well with the person you choose as your counselor, so reach out by phone or e-mail to schedule a free phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you!

Sometimes we can find ourselves stuck in patterns that are making us unhappy because of how our past has wounded us! I work to build a safe and helpful space in therapy to help my clients face and work through the parts of themselves that are holding them back. I believe therapy is a collaborative work between my client and myself, in which we can work together to build goals and then work towards those goals. I have experience with clients going through life adjustments, anxiety, depression, marital strife, traumatic experiences, and personality disorders.

You’re tired of questioning yourself and feeling “not enough.” Painful experiences in your past colored your inner world gray... Lingering wounds like childhood trauma, narcissistic partners, and betrayal trauma impact how you see yourself and interact with others. You want to break free from being a perfectionist, people-pleaser, or high achiever compensating for internalized self-blame, shame, or inadequacy. Using a blend of brainspotting & psychoanalysis, we can tap into the connection between your body, brain, and psyche to work through stuck points in your inner world, as well as your social, cultural, and familial landscapes. Brainspotting is an alternative to talk therapy that could bypass the limitations of language and access the brain's subcortical regions involved in emotional processing, memory formation, and instinctive reactions. By focusing on points in the visual field, or "brainspots," we can tap into unresolved trauma and emotions stored in the subcortical brain. My goal is to help you process old pain, gain insight into its origins and how it shaped you, reframe limiting narratives from childhood, and integrate fragmented pieces of you into a cohesive sense of self. Schedule a free phone consult with me through my website to see if we might be a good match.

Hi! I’m Jen (she/her) and I’m not perfect. It took me a long time to be able to say and accept that. In fact, I now embrace the things that are imperfect - all my difficulties and challenges. I have navigated these throughout my life and seek to help others navigate their difficulties and challenges, as well. My therapy style has been described as informal, direct, genuine, and humorous. I am fully authentic with my clients and I hope my clients will be fully authentic with me. I tend to be blunt and call people out on their BS - I say what you can’t or won’t and teach you to do that for yourself. Together, we will address your difficulties by connecting current thoughts, beliefs, and emotions to past experiences. We can’t fix the past, but we can change how we view it and move forward.
Do you find yourself having strong emotional responses to past events? Are you struggling to “Let go” or “Move on” from painful experiences? A typical Enduring Strength Counseling client is someone between the ages of 20-35, possibly a member of the military community, who answered yes to the questions above and is ready to begin their mental health journey but do not want to deal with the constraints and limitations of insurance companies. My clients pay for services directly and feel greater comfort and peace of mind to engage in counseling knowing that their care will not be denied.
Glad to hear you are seeking support. Please look at my website for a better idea of my approach and what sessions are like. Give me a call or email- I look forward to talking more soon!
The clients I connect with most tend to have one thing in common: they’re used to holding everything together — for everyone else. They’re the ones people go to for answers, for help, for strength. On the outside, they might look like they’re managing just fine. But inside, they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Many are students, professionals, caregivers, or first-generation Americans, and immigrants juggling multiple identities and expectations. Some are navigating life transitions, chronic illness, or burnout. Others are high-achievers who suddenly feel stuck or lost. They don’t just want a quick fix — they want to understand why they’re feeling this way, and how to get back to themselves. That’s where I come in. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll look at your mental health in the context of your life, culture, and values — not just a checklist of symptoms. We’ll work together to build something sustainable: confidence, clarity, and tools that actually work in your world. If that sounds like you, we might be a good fit. You don’t have to do this alone.
During our sessions together, I will support you in exploring the many parts of you and how they came to be. I will work with you to identify the negative messages connected to these parts of you. We will form a relationship with these parts and create a safe place for all of you to be seen, heard, and understood. In this safe place, you will heal yourself. Developing my own internal resources has helped me to move through some very difficult times as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Using evidence based research, I provide care that values every part of you and respects where you came from. In those moments of pain and struggle and self-discovery, I will help you to choose yourself. I seek to create a safe and inclusive space for black-bodied individuals, first generation immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, survivors of trauma, sex workers, and clients who are struggling with relationship and intimacy issues. My approach to mental health care is rooted in anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks. The treatment modalities that I use have been found to be effective across many cultures, ages, genders, and experiences. I am here to support my clients in rediscovering themselves, strengthening their mind-body connection, and living the life they have always wanted.
I offer traditional psychotherapy sessions, but I also work on stress management, mindfulness, emotional expression, relationship issues, depression, recovery and other issues.
