Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I address trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with a compassionate and faith-centered approach, integrating psychological expertise with Christian principles to guide individuals toward healing and restoration. Recognizing the profound impact of trauma on the mind, emotions, and spirit, I create a safe and supportive environment that incorporates prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on God's healing power. Drawing upon biblical teachings of comfort, resilience, and restoration, the counselor collaborates with individuals to navigate the effects of trauma and develop coping strategies. Encouraging a reliance on God's strength and the transformative power of faith, the counselor assists individuals in processing and overcoming traumatic experiences while fostering a sense of safety and trust in their Christian beliefs. This integrated approach aims to support individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, resilience, and spiritual renewal within the context of Christian values.

Kristee Barker
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-S
I am a trauma specialist. Trauma — whether from childhood, relationships, military service, first responder work, or sudden life events — leaves lasting imprints on the nervous system and on how you see yourself and the world. I use trauma‑focused approaches like EMDR and IFS to help you process what happened with safety and clarity, and skills‑based approaches like DBT and CBT to support you in building steadier, healthier ways of coping. My style is gentle and directive. Together, we work to calm your nervous system, untangle the patterns that trauma created, and help you feel grounded, empowered, and more fully yourself again.

Tricia Mazza
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Trauma often shows up as hypervigilance, self-doubt, and a lingering sense that you have to stay on guard in relationships. You may notice patterns of over-functioning, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting your own instincts. These responses are not flaws—they are adaptations to experiences where your emotional safety was compromised. In our work, we focus on helping you understand these patterns and reconnect with a sense of safety, clarity, and self-trust.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing the ongoing effects of childhood abuse and neglect. This includes emotional neglect as well, which is often a surprise for clients who remember their home as a happy place. Chronic childhood stress is one of the most common causes of anxiety and depression, as well as autoimmune disorders. Adults who had chronic childhood stress are also far more likely to end up in emotionally unsafe relationships.

SONYA L ALLEN
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CCTP
Symptoms of Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder can stem from ordinary life stressors such as divorce, illness, accidents, and bereavement to extreme experiences of war, torture, rape, and genocide. The experiences can cause ongoing devastation emotionally for individuals in the form of depression, anxiety and relationship problems. Through education and coping skills, individuals can learn to experience more emotional stability and empowerment.

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.
