Norfolk, Virginia therapist: Shay Malone, pre-licensed professional
Serving Black / African American

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.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

Clients appreciate that sessions are both warm and structured... a place where you feel deeply heard while also gaining practical tools you can apply immediately.

Serving Black / African American

Dr. Brandee Zettel

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that the quality of our lives is defined by the quality of our relationships. As a Christian, I believe that God has created us to be in relationships with Him and others. I love empowering clients to live out their faith authentically by aligning their behaviors with their beliefs—creating a life of holistic wholeness and emotional health. I’m here to help you move past surface-level misunderstandings and build a foundation of deep, authentic connection.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: Dr. Allison Williams, psychologist
Serving Black / African American

Dr. Allison Williams

Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease. If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.
