LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides compassionate, evidence‑based support for individuals experiencing Body‑Focused Repetitive Behaviors such as hair‑pulling, skin‑picking, nail‑biting, and related habits. We understand how overwhelming and isolating these behaviors can feel, and we work collaboratively to help clients reduce urges, interrupt automatic patterns, and build healthier coping strategies. Using approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and habit‑reversal techniques, we guide clients in understanding triggers, managing stress, and developing greater control and self‑confidence. Our goal is to create a safe, non‑judgmental space where clients can heal, regain a sense of mastery over their behaviors, and move toward a more balanced and empowered life.

Richmond is Virginia's state capital and a city confronting its identity as the former capital of the Confederacy — a historical weight that has made racial equity, community healing, and the legacy of slavery active and ongoing conversations in clinical, academic, and public life. The city's significant African American community, its rapidly growing Latino population, and a large university sector anchored by Virginia Commonwealth University collectively shape diverse and evolving therapy demand. VCU Health and Bon Secours Richmond Health System provide major institutional mental health resources, while VCU's extensive psychology, counseling, and social work programs supply significant clinical training to the community. Richmond's growing arts and creative economy, rapid gentrification of historically Black neighborhoods, and strong LGBTQ+ community each contribute distinct dimensions to its therapy culture.
