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.

Kimberlee Zetocha Halverson
Psychologist, Ph.D, LP
I have extensive training and experience with behavior modification therapy. I start with learning what purpose or function the behaviors serve. Next, we explore if there is a healthier alternative, discover the root cause of the behavior, and/or focus on habit reduction and eventually elimination.

Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Health and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
