Welcome! My name is Ron Belotti. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with a variety of different clients, and provide therapy services for both individuals and couples. Some of my areas of expertise include relational issues, trauma, infidelity, life transitions, sexuality, as well as sexual and intimacy issues. In addition to my specialties, I also see clients for issues related to stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and chronic illness. My approach to therapy is heavily focused on the connection between my clients. I tend to work best with late adolescents and young adults. In part I assume this is because I take a laid back approach to therapy, create an environment that promotes safety and comfort, and I guess also because I'm a rather cool therapist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I used a variety of modalities, some evidence based to help my clients move through their presenting concerns. Ultimately what I have found most helpful however is providing a space where my clients are heard and seen. A place where they can talk about things they may not even want to share with their best friend, so that they can navigate their concerns in a confidential and non-judgmental space.

As a Board-Certified Neurofeedback Practitioner and Clinical Psychologist, I believe everyone holds the strength to grow and heal, even when life feels overwhelming. Whatever you're facing, you don't have to go through it alone. Therapy doesn't have to feel clinical or one sided. I offer a genuine authentic connection. I've been practicing for over ten years and specialize in counseling siblings, twins, and their loved one's ages 12 and up who need real world guidance around complex twin, sibling, and relationship issues. In our first sessions, we'll create a safe, supportive space to explore your concerns and goals. Together, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan to support your growth, emotional well-being, and lasting change. I use a solution focused and goal-oriented approach to help clients manage trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges. I teach you skills to overcome anxiety, depression, ADHD, lack of self-love, relationship or parenting struggles. My success lies in years of personal and professional experiences helping people just like you. I offer warm, judgement free, evidence-based care tailored to you and your needs. My approach blends person-centered therapy, mindfulness, dialectical, cognitive, and attached-based techniques. If you’re ready to start or continue your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk beside you. That first step can feel big or scary, but you don’t have to take it alone. Reach out if your curious about therapy or want to see if we are a good fit. Together, we will move toward the healthier, more fulfilling life you deserve.

*TELEHEALTH ONLY* My practice is a safe place for all women and their unique beliefs. Are you exhausted? I'm here to help women who are struggling with life's inevitable ups and downs. Are you navigating modern motherhood, and work-life "balance" (is there EVER really complete balance)? Does making friends feel like a chore? Maybe it's ADHD, anxiety, or postpartum? Is perimenopause knocking at the door? Let's figure it out together. I am kind, but direct in my approach. Please understand that I no longer conduct phone consultations. I believe that the best way to truly decide if we are a good fit working together, is to meet and go from there. My approach to working with clients is that the client is always the expert on their own lives. I see clients from a strengths-based perspective, and help my clients recognize and use those strengths fully. I take an integrative approach to meet your needs. I am a psychodynamic therapist, but I make use of polyvagal theory and mindfulness as well. I know it can be overwhelming to reach out for help when you need it the most. It takes bravery to take this next step. Be proud of yourself for being here right now. I typically respond within two business days. Check your spam folder to be sure you didn't miss it. Please note that I ONLY work with WOMEN in my practice and ONLY via telehealth at this time.

There isn’t anything more important than your mental health and wellness. We exist with the sole purpose of improving yours. Sometimes being heard and having the support of a therapist can change everything. Kinder Mind offers talk therapy via phone or video to individuals and couples in Virginia.

ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Ragan! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and owner of VB Counseling Collective. I am a Virginia Beach native and have been working in the mental health field at various clinical sites in Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach Psychiatric Center, Catholic Charities of ESVA, and Old Dominion University to name a few!) since 2015. I founded my private practice in February 2021 to help young adult clients who were looking to find therapy that was easy to access and fitting for their needs. I help young adult clients who are coping with a range of concerns including: anxiety, depression, problematic substance/alcohol use, past & current traumatic experiences, relationship issues, self esteem/body image issues, & social anxiety. While the exact reasons clients seek treatment are individualized & unique, there are some distinct commonalities. Many clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, and emotionally exhausted by their lived experiences. I work with clients to help them find balance, purpose, and peace in their lives by setting intentional goals inside and outside of the therapy room. My excitement for the counseling field continues to grow as I encounter new clients who are on the path of self improvement, growth, and healing. If you would like to get in touch, please give me a call at (757) 434-5811 to set up an initial consultation. ABOUT MY APPROACH TO THERAPY: I view counseling as a collaborative process and feel that client’s come to therapy already equipped with the necessary tools to solve their problems. After all, you are the expert of yourself! We all get stuck and sometimes we need assistance getting back on track. I believe that individual therapy can be one of the best tools for getting unstuck in life. I am here to be your ally, advocate, accountability partner, and guide while we navigate through your goals. My approach to therapy is one that is client centered, trauma informed, and identity affirming. My theoretical orientation borrows from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally focused individual therapy, attachment theory, and person-centered theory. While these theories generally guide my interventions used in therapy together, I recognize that every client’s presenting problems are unique and will work to tailor our treatment to your specific needs. I consider the work I do as a therapist to be extremely meaningful and would be happy to talk further with you to see if we'd be a good fit to work together.

Life changes can be challenging whether you’re facing a new career, going through relationship shifts, becoming a parent, or questioning your identity. These transitions often come with uncertainty, stress, and a need to find balance again. I specialize in helping adults navigate life transitions like career changes, postpartum adjustment, and relationship shifts. Together we’ll work to build clarity resilience and self-understanding so you can move forward with confidence. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Virginia Beach offering individual therapy both in person and via secure telehealth across Virginia. My approach is practical, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based methods including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I offer a free 15-minute consultation. This is a chance to ask questions share what you’re experiencing and see if working together feels like the right fit. If you’re ready to explore your next steps I’m here to support you.

I work well with students who are dealing with anxiety, stress, or the impact of past traumatic experiences. You might feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, worry, or emotional overwhelm, or notice that certain situations bring up strong reactions that are hard to manage. Some students I work with have experienced difficult or overwhelming events and want help making sense of their reactions and feeling more like themselves again. In therapy, we focus on helping you feel safer, more grounded, and better able to handle what’s coming up in your life.

The Trauma-Informed Campus Collective is a clinical practice serving college students exclusively. Our work focuses on trauma-informed care with students navigating complex family systems, identity development, emotional regulation, and belonging within the college environment.
