MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be particularly beneficial for Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs) by helping them manage overwhelming emotions and sensory experiences. Through deep relaxation and guided visualization, hypnotherapists can assist HSPs in developing coping strategies for stressful situations and reducing anxiety. This therapeutic approach empowers individuals to reframe negative thought patterns, enhance emotional resilience, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance, making daily life more manageable for those who feel acutely affected by their environment.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Our experience of the world is often impacted by how we experience it through our senses. For some people, the world is harder to navigate because lights are much brighter, sounds are much louder, and textures are far more uncomfortable. And for a lot of highly sensitive people, emotions are significantly stronger.

LEGACY MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTING SERVICES
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Legacy Mental Health Consulting Services provides supportive, insight‑driven care for individuals who identify as Highly Sensitive Persons—those who experience emotions deeply, notice subtle details, and feel more affected by stress, conflict, or overstimulation. We understand that high sensitivity is not a flaw but a meaningful temperament trait that can bring creativity, empathy, intuition, and rich inner awareness. At the same time, it can lead to overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries. Using approaches such as CBT, mindfulness, DBT skills, and strengths‑based exploration, we help clients manage emotional intensity, reduce sensory overload, and build confidence in their unique way of experiencing the world. Our goal is to create a safe, affirming space where highly sensitive individuals can thrive, feel understood, and learn to use their sensitivity as a source of resilience and empowerment.

Online in Virginia Beach, VA Virginia
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 Healthcare 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.
