Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you a parent with trauma? Parenting is hard, but trauma makes it even harder! It's so hard to know what to do when you didn't have a safe and secure home when you were growing up. You want to break the cycle of violence, you want better for your kids, you'd do anything to protect them, but what does that look like day to day?
I get it. I have a background in family therapy where parents and kiddos had extreme trauma, and I currently specialize in trauma and relationships. Let's dig in. No dumb questions, no wrong answers. You deserve support, it's a lot of work to break cycles of trauma, and I'd love to partner with you and celebrate you on this journey.

Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Parents are often doing the best they can to help their children succeed in life. However, lack of knowledge, personal distress, poor mental health, economic distress, and other factors often make parenting feel overwhelming and difficult. I want to help you give your child the best chances for success and make parenting feel easier.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Parenting is one of the most rewarding roles a woman can hold, and also one of the most challenging, and it is okay to admit that both things are true at the same time. At Alabaster Counseling, we support mothers and caregivers who are navigating the emotional demands of parenting, from the exhaustion and identity shifts that come with welcoming a new baby, to the challenges of raising children and teenagers through difficult seasons. We understand that when you are struggling as a parent, it can affect your mental health, your relationships, and your sense of self in ways that deserve real attention and care. Through evidence-based therapy, we help you show up as the parent you want to be while also making sure that your needs, feelings, and wellbeing are never left out of the equation.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Parenting can bring deep meaning alongside ongoing pressure to be patient, present, and emotionally available at all times. Many women find themselves navigating exhaustion, self-doubt, or the tension between caring for their children and maintaining their own identity. In our work together, we focus on understanding how your own experiences shape your parenting responses, strengthening your internal footing, and developing ways to show up that feel grounded and sustainable for both you and your family.

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.
