Norfolk, Virginia therapist: Shay Malone, pre-licensed professional
Female

Shay Malone

Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
According to my clients, one of the things they most appreciate about me is that I listen - actually listen - to what is said and unsaid. I don't tell them how they should or shouldn't feel. My first step is understanding what is bringing you to therapy. Then, I focus on learning about your life and all the different parts that impact you: your specific brain, your family, your work, which parts of your identity matter most to you, and your social and economic stressors. And as I understand you better, I offer support as well as interventions to move you toward your goals. As a single parent of 3 boys with varying presentations of ADHD and autism, I am very familiar with parenting stresses. I have worked in a variety of positions, from education to foster care to Medicaid services, and I use all of those experiences to support my clients. I like to say that I am the expert in counseling, but you are the expert on you.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Kelsey Ellis, psychologist
Female

Kelsey Ellis

Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Online in Norfolk, VA (Online Only)
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 Veterans Affairs Hampton Roads Health Care System provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University and Eastern Virginia Medical School maintain clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
