Depression
A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Depression doesn’t always look like being unable to get out of bed. Sometimes it looks like going through the motions, showing up for everyone else, and appearing fine while privately feeling exhausted, disconnected, unmotivated, or unlike yourself. You may feel like you’ve lost your spark, question your worth, or wonder why things that once mattered to you no longer feel the same. I help women explore what may be underneath these feelings, including unresolved wounds, relationship patterns, self-criticism, and years of putting themselves last. Together, we’ll work toward reconnecting with yourself, building self-compassion, and creating meaningful changes that help life begin to feel like yours again.

Depression
Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Depression can make even the simplest parts of the day feel heavy, distant, and out of reach, and for many girls and women, it can be easy to dismiss those feelings or push them aside for the sake of everyone else. At Alabaster Counseling, we specialize in helping girls and women of all ages recognize and work through depression in a space that is warm, judgment-free, and entirely their own. Using evidence-based therapy, we help you understand the roots of what you are feeling, gently challenge the thoughts that are keeping you stuck, and rebuild a sense of joy, motivation, and connection to the life you deserve. You do not have to keep going through this alone, and you do not have to settle for just getting by.

Depression
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Depression can show up as more than sadness. It may feel like heaviness, disconnection, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense of moving through life on autopilot. Many women I work with continue to meet responsibilities even while feeling emotionally depleted inside. Therapy offers space to explore the deeper context surrounding these experiences and to reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant or muted. Together, we work toward restoring a greater sense of engagement, meaning, and internal support.

Kevin Childs
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Few people understand what depression feels like or how to respond to a person who is suffering through the loneliness, the fatigue... the pain of it all. We can help you find the path to peaceful existence. It's a process, but it is achievable with the right kind of help.

Depression
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, depression is often understood as protective parts that create shutdown, numbness, or withdrawal to shield the system from overwhelming emotional pain. These parts may be guarding more vulnerable exiled parts that carry feelings such as shame, grief, or worthlessness. Therapy focuses on helping clients access Self to compassionately connect with these parts, allowing protective roles to soften and facilitating healing of the underlying emotional wounds.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Hampton VA Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University, which absorbed Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2024, maintains clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
