Andrea Kamins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, MSW
People often come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or overwhelmed and aren't sure why. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, trauma/complex PTSD, and childhood emotional neglect (CEN). I particularly enjoy working with highly sensitive people (HSP), neurodiverse individuals, and adult survivors of childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults age 21 and older who are motivated to create meaningful change in life and work, and deepen self-understanding. My clients enjoy my direct, warm style and sense of humor.

A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I work with women who are used to being the person everyone else can count on but often struggle to give themselves that same care. You may find yourself saying yes when you really want to say no, feeling guilty when you set a boundary, overthinking whether someone is upset with you, or constantly putting other people's feelings and needs ahead of your own. Maybe you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, anxious, questioning yourself, or wondering when you lost touch with who you are and what you need. I help women struggling with people-pleasing, low self-esteem, boundaries, anxiety, depression, and trauma understand and heal the deeper wounds and patterns that keep them stuck. My goal isn't to teach you to stop caring about other people or become someone you're not. I want to help you learn how to care about others without continually abandoning yourself in the process. Together, we'll work toward helping you trust yourself, strengthen your voice, set healthier boundaries without being consumed by guilt, develop greater self-compassion, and reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost while you were busy being who everyone else needed you to be.

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.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

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.
