Kelsi, M.S., LPC, Clinical Director
Hi there! My name is Kelsi and I have expertise in working with members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, untangling impacts of trauma, and neurodivergent young adults, though many clients of diverse backgrounds and experiences tend to respond well to my authenticity and warmth. Clients seeking my support might be struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, burn out, boundary-setting, self-doubt, and identity. Common goals might include reducing anxiety, applying their awareness of self to healing, and approaching life and relationships with wellness and empowerment. My goal is to act as a partner in navigating the waves of life. I'm super excited to learn more about you!
Building on sensory awareness, mindfulness, trauma work, and creativity, we'll dig for the root of your distress. Tools such as thought challenging, processing trauma, reducing nervous system burnout, and empowerment to lean into your long-term goals may be cornerstones of our work together. I cultivate an environment of authenticity, warmth, and creativity.
Working with pre-teens to adults, I recognize that we have all experienced adversity to some degree in our lives and each degree is equally valid. While growth is often a layered and open-ended journey, your counseling relationship and an understanding of relational dynamics will be cornerstones for your adventure. Give us a call to discuss how we can help!
Moira, M.S., Resident in Counseling
Hi! My name is Moira (she/her), and I am a Resident in Counseling in the state of Virginia. Whether you are struggling with a serious mental health disorder or going through a particularly stressful phase of your life, I can help you prioritize your mental health and make progress toward living the life you want to lead. After building a therapeutic connection, I will provide you with a supportive space to process, as well as equip you with the tools and skills you need to make real, tangible progress towards your goals.
I am an integrative therapist, drawing from a wide variety of theories, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), client-centered and psychodynamic theories, to deliver personalized treatments that meets my clients’ unique needs. I work with adults, adolescents, children and couples who are struggling with a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, bipolar disorder, co-occurring substance abuse disorders, life stressors, relationship issues and more. I received my bachelor’s degree from Columbia University, Columbia College and my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from University of Massachusetts, Boston. I look forward to working with you!
Sandra, M.Ed., Resident in Counseling
Hello! My name is Sandra (she/her). I graduated with my Master's from William & Mary and I am a Resident in Counseling in Virginia. If you find yourself feeling stuck in your personal life or relationships or yearn to discover your true, authentic self, you've come to the right place. I believe in creating a comfortable, safe space for adult clients and couples to process their emotions. I am passionate about helping my clients navigate through romantic relationships and issues such as chronic disease, PCOS, body image, and fertility struggles. I also have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression and multicultural issues, as I myself am an immigrant from Croatia who has experienced the hurdles of cultural and social adaptations. I am fluent in English, Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian.
I take a multicultural, trauma-informed, holistic approach and blend evidence-based practices, psychodynamic theory, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and more to help you connect your mind, body, and spirit and build healthy coping skills that you can take with you beyond therapy. I really look forward to working with you!
Chris, M.B.A., Business Administrator
Hello! My name is Chris (he/him), and I am the founder and Business Administrator at The Counseling Corner. As a lifelong mental health advocate, I founded this company in an effort to help transform the lives of people struggling with mental health challenges and co-occurring substance use disorders. I believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality mental health care, and that with the right therapist, everyone can achieve positive outcomes in therapy. Beyond my administrative role, I am a beacon of advocacy for mental health awareness and de-stigmatization. As someone who has personally lost a family member to addiction, this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart.
I received my bachelor’s degree from UNC Wilmington and my master’s of business administration degree from Florida International University. With over 15 years of experience in business, including launching several businesses from the ground up, I bring a wealth of experience to this role.
