Find a Therapist in United States

My initial interest in psychotherapy was sparked by studies in history, music, visual art, and the major world religions. These seemingly disparate interests helped me understand individual narratives in the context of our larger collective history. We all have a sense of who we are and how the world works based on years of lived experience. By deepening the understanding of our personal narrative we prepare the way for a sense of meaning and purpose that can impact our lives and those around us in profound ways.  

Throughout our lifetime, things continue to shift and change; it's inevitable. Sometimes with these changes comes feelings of confusion, fear, anger, grief, and resentment, and choice-making can be difficult. Working with a counselor can be supportive as we navigate our mental health and wellness during these everchanging times. Finding a therapist that feels 'just right' is an important piece of the counseling journey. Let's schedule a free consultation to meet one another and explore the possibility of working together. I can be a support to those navigating challenging changes related to grief, loss, low self-esteem, life transitions, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma.  

My person-centered, holistic approach to therapy is rooted in meeting clients where they are and providing nonjudgmental support throughout their journey. I strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where each client feels heard and valued. By tailoring my approach to individual needs, I ensure that every client receives the personalized support necessary for meaningful growth.  

I believe that taking the time and effort to self-reflect, observe ourselves and delve deeper into the root causes of our conflicts, challenges, painful relationships and difficult realities is a worthwhile endeavor. The process of turning inward, inquiring into yourself and getting to know your own mind is a vital self-investment that can help you experience this life with more depth, freedom and contentment. Together we can discover important insights, new coping strategies and engender a sense of clarity and purpose in a safe, meaningful and non-judgmental therapeutic space. I have experience working with individuals and couples, often but not limited to issues around stress, depression or anxiety, burnout, career conflicts, unhealthy relationships patterns, communication issues, divorce, family conflicts, parenting challenges, creative blocks, social anxiety, sexuality, loss/grief, child and adult trauma and illness (chronic or terminal). Having served as a therapist in multiple settings from mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, universities and hospice care, my practice has spanned a wide variety of ages, settings and demographics. I am passionate about my work and supporting people as they heal and grow and so, I invite you to meet with me for an initial consultation and decide for yourself whether we are a good working match.  

I specialize in anxiety, addiction, trauma, perfectionism, codependency, depression and relational issues. Learning how to regulate our nervous system, gaining insight into our authentic selves, and healing how we relate to ourselves and others can be a powerful transformative experience.  

I am a highly trained psychotherapist and pastoral counselor who has been working in the field for over twenty-five years. I offer compassionate and caring counseling for those who are struggling with a variety of life issues. I am a spiritually-integrated therapist who draws from many spiritual and religious traditions in my care for people.  

Let us help you Create A Life You Love.  

Life is hard to navigate. If communicating with others is difficult, if you constantly feel nervous, are grieving, or having family and relationship problems, I am here for you. I have a passion for working with women weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, or overwhelm. You may struggle finding balance in your life, feeling at peace with who you are, or expressing your needs in relationships. Do you feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or avoiding difficult emotions? I will help you develop a personalized set of tools to ease the emotional distress that weighs you down, more importantly, you will feel confident, capable, & secure in your relationships & daily life. I BELIEVE: We all carry contradictions. It’s okay to have mixed feelings— life is complex. Relationships are worth nurturing. With the right tools, we can communicate with more kindness and hear each other with more love. You deserve the freedom to make your own choices—and to honor what’s right for you. Bringing a balance of heart and humor to the therapy space helps clients find healing, resilience, and joy—one small moment at a time. Call me for a free 20-minute consultation to see what it’s like to work together. During our call, you’ll get a genuine feel for my therapy style, ask questions about the process, and explore what real progress could look like for you. Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a different approach, this is a warm, no-pressure space to connect and find out if we’re the right fit.  

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a true partnership. My approach is collaborative, mindful, and holistic. I focus on understanding who you are at your core. I offer a space that is warm and gentle, while also providing honest feedback when it’s helpful, so you and your family can feel supported in creating meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in working with children and teens, adults, and couples who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, behavioral challenges, relationship stress, and life transitions. I support clients who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or ready for meaningful change.  

Are you at an emotional breaking point in your relationship? Do you feel constant anxiety, fear and stress from your relationship? is your partner closed off to you? Have you felt that your partner has become avoidant and you noticed a change in their behavior? Or maybe there is infidelity involved and you feel confused and fear of the unknown! These indicators are signs that you need help to stabilize your relationship. Emotional problems within a relationship will create daily havoc for the whole family.  

I believe you don't have to have everything figured out to begin therapy. Sometimes you need someone to help you make sense of what's happening, see things differently, or figure out what comes next. I'm a warm, straightforward therapist who believes in meeting people where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be. We'll make space for the hard stuff, recognize what's already working, and find practical ways to move forward. You don't have to do it perfectly. You just have to be willing to start.  

Beginning therapy is an important step, and FPS appreciates the trust involved in choosing a psychologist. Our goal is to create a warm, collaborative space where you can better understand what is getting in the way, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change. I am Dr. Veronica Felstad, a licensed clinical psychologist. My practice Felstad Psychological Services (FPS) provides evidence-based telepsychotherapy to adolescents ages 16 and older and adults. FPS strives to meet each client with compassion, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for the experiences and identities that shape their lives.  

Something within you wants to emerge, yet you feel stuck and bound by beliefs like, "I'm not good enough," "It's too late for me," "I am shameful," or, "I'm broken." Often you feel you're watching your life rather than living it. You love your people, but you struggle to express it fully. You are carrying the weight of broken systems and feel the ache of a deep grief you can't quite name. You started this work because you want to help; now you feel like you're always in trouble. You desperately want to connect to Spirit and community, but have been harmed by church or religion. You're ready to come home to your body, to your Self. I seek to create a safe container in which you can explore your innermost landscapes, heal from trauma, release binds, and move from survival to thriving. Rooted in somatic, feminist, and liberation psychologies, my therapeutic work incorporates EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness, alongside nature-based and narrative approaches. I offer a warm, attuned presence grounded in compassion and reverence for your innate wisdom and ability to heal and grow. I support adults, pre-teens, teens, couples, and families, including folks who are engaged in or exploring non-monogamous relationship structures. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. Let's begin!  

I work with individuals and couples who are wanting to find more connection, a deeper sense of meaning, and find their way out of the relational and internal doldrums. I am not here to "fix you" but instead, to help you become to more alive to your experience.  

Thank you for taking the time to find out if I am the therapist to work with you. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Trainee pursuing my master’s degree at National University. I operate under the clinical supervision of Beatriz Garcia (LMFT Lic. 113315).  

If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or trauma and ptsd, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world. You are an expert on your situation. You understand it better than anyone because you are always in it, but when was the last time you stepped away to look at it from a new perspective? My approach is focused on helping you feel that you are whole, capable, enough, and doing your best - because you are. Maybe, you just need some new skills to cope with all that goes on in your life. What you have learned in life never covered this. Or, perhaps, you've been feeling stuck in the same cycle of symptoms and are ready to try new skills to gain relief. We will work together to implement practical skills, create new habits, and get you moving again. My approach is more active. I will be an active participant in your healing journey. Together, we will identify your most important goals and needs and work on a plan to get you there.  

We believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, personalized and grounded in evidence-based care. Our clinicians draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to meet each client's needs, strengths and goals. As a therapist-owned practice, we keep our team small on purpose. That means responsive support, a high level of attention, and clients who stay with the same therapist rather than being passed along.  

As you move through life's many phases, it can be hard to hear your own voice clearly amid everyone else’s expectations. I coach people navigating transitions. Those shifts in career, relationships, identity, and purpose. Together, we make space to take stock, reconnect with your wisdom, and discover what feels true for your next chapter. My approach brings together deep listening, compassionate inquiry, mindfulness, and reflective writing. I offer a free consultation to explore what you’re looking for and whether coaching is a good fit.  

I work with couples and individuals who want to understand how their past is affecting their present, especially in their relationships. Wounds that we carry around with us can cause us to struggle with things like anger, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. It can be very beneficial to have someone to guide you in unpacking your experiences to bring awareness of how you operate and what is behind the behaviors that you want to change. I would be honored to enter into your world to help you alter your unhealthy patterns and speak life into your negative beliefs about yourself so that you can walk in freedom and joy. I am also a committed follower of Jesus, so Christianity can be incorporated into our sessions if that is your preference.  

Are you feeling overwhelmed by stress? Would like to cope more effectively and have more peace in your life? When we are plagued by overwhelming circumstances or emotions, it can affect all aspects of our lives. I am here to help you find the tools to cope with life's stressors with more ease.
