Kaylie Groenhout
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Life in Northern Virginia moves fast, but your therapy journey shouldn't feel rushed or overly clinical. Ditch a sterile medical office for a grounded, boutique approach to mental wellness. Specializing in EMDR and IFS-informed parts work for adults in the area and state at large, I help clients navigate the transition from feeling perpetually on edge to feeling more at home within their own systems. You aren't just another case file. You're a person looking for a safe place to do the real work. If you’re tired of surface-level talk and ready for lasting, meaningful change, let’s start with a conversation.

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.
