Allison Cava
Therapist, LMSW
This is an open and supportive space where you are welcome to be exactly who you are. Many people move through their days feeling unseen, unheard, or carrying more than they’re able to share. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and explore your inner world with the support of someone offering a neutral, compassionate perspective — or simply a space to speak freely and be heard.

Ashley Omar
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS
Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating—either within yourself or in your relationship? You may notice emotions escalating quickly, conversations turning into arguments, or feeling unheard or disconnected. Many individuals and couples come to therapy emotionally exhausted, wanting more calm, clarity, and healthier ways to relate but unsure how to break the cycle.
I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults and couples struggling with anxiety, emotional reactivity, and relationship conflict. With over 16 years of experience in the mental health field, I help clients understand what drives these patterns, regulate emotions, and build practical communication and coping skills for lasting change.
When stress, past experiences, or repeated conflict take over, it can feel discouraging and isolating. Therapy offers a supportive, structured space to slow things down and create healthier ways of relating—to yourself and to others. You deserve support that feels safe, effective, and respectful.

Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
I see clients online if they prefer that way of meeting whether they live in Charlottesville or not. I can also see online clients who live in almost all states in the US via my PSYPACT authorization. Both research and my personal experience indicate that online therapy and evaluations (if that is requested) are just as effective as meeting in person and offering services online makes it much easier for people across the US (and locally where I am) to get what the services/help they need in the easiest way possible.

Lisa Cleary
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in their thoughts, or disconnected from themselves and the people they care about. You may look like you’re holding everything together on the outside, while inside you feel anxious, exhausted, or unsure of what you actually need.
I help adults work through anxiety, trauma, and relationship stress in a way that goes deeper than just coping skills. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and build a stronger sense of clarity and self-trust. I often integrate approaches like CBT, EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and parts work (IFS) to help you not just manage symptoms, but truly heal.
Clients often tell me they feel more confident in setting healthy boundaries, have a stronger sense of self-worth, and are better able to navigate difficult emotions without shutting down or becoming overwhelmed.
If you're ready for therapy that feels both supportive and meaningful, I’d be honored to work with you.
