LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides supportive, insight‑driven care for individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons—those who experience emotions deeply, notice subtle details, and feel more affected by stress, conflict, or overstimulation. We understand that high sensitivity is not a flaw but a meaningful temperament trait that can bring creativity, empathy, intuition, and rich inner awareness. At the same time, it can lead to overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and strengths‑based exploration, we help clients manage emotional intensity, reduce sensory overload, and build confidence in their unique way of experiencing the world. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space where highly sensitive individuals can thrive, feel understood, and learn to use their sensitivity as a source of resilience and empowerment.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Welcome, my highly sensitive sisters, empaths, introverts, and tender creatives! I'm here with (and for) you. When we can't change the environment around us, we can cultivate skillfulness, practice self-compassion, and engage with nature as a place of refuge.

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.
