When you experience trauma or stressful life situation, it is not uncommon for your life to feel out of control. I have a passion to help others who have experienced a traumatic event or a stressful life situation. It is my goal to help others to find healthy perceptions of themselves, and to strengthen interpersonal relationships. If you're looking for extra support and guidance to help you know yourself better or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
I offer both in office and teletherapy appointments.
Katie Noel Sherwood, LCSW
Life can be overwhelming at times and sometimes you are in need of extra support, guidance and a safe space along the way. My hope is to walk alongside you in your journey and help you reach the goals you want for yourself and your life and provide a safe space for healing and growth. I have spent years developing my skills and knowledge by working with adults, adolescents and children who have experienced trauma and family issues. I have experience in working with individuals who have struggled with couple issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sexual exploitation, grief and loss. I am currently seeing clients aged 16 and older.
I am a firm believer that no one treatment modality is the answer for everyone. I use a combination of different therapy modalities such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), as well as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I approach each client with a trauma-informed and strength-based approach to help each individual feel heard, valued, and ensure that each client has an empathetic and therapeutic setting while working towards their goals and processing their feelings.
I am currently seeing clients both in person and via telehealth.
Olivia Oakley, MSW, Supervisee in Social Work
I am a dedicated counselor with a strong commitment to providing personalized and effective therapeutic services to individuals aged 17+. I believe in the strength and resilience of every individual, and my goal is to provide strengths-based and person-centered care to empower my clients on their path to healing and self-discovery. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I am deeply committed to creating a safe space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, offering unwavering support as they navigate the complexities of identity and mental health.
I understand that every individual's path to mental well-being is distinct, and utilize multiple modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (M-CBT), and Integrative therapy techniques to best suit my client’s needs. I am currently completing training in EMDR.
I see every individual I work with as a unique, capable, and resilient person. I understand that the road to recovery can be difficult, and I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where healing can occur. Together, we can explore your strengths, address your challenges, and help you achieve your goals.

Jamie Moore, MSW, Supervisee in Social Work
I am a graduate of George Mason University and a dedicated clinician currently working under supervision toward my Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) credential. I am passionate about providing trauma-informed, compassionate care to individuals navigating life’s challenges, with a particular focus on substance use, emotional regulation, and personal growth.
My clinical approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and somatic interventions. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring mental health concerns, always with an emphasis on cultural humility and client empowerment.
I believe that meaningful change happens in safe, supportive, and collaborative spaces. My goal is to meet each person where they are, help them tap into their inner strengths, and support them in moving toward a more grounded and fulfilling life.
As I continue my professional development under clinical supervision, I remain committed to ethical, person-centered care and the continuous pursuit of knowledge and growth in the field of social work.
I offer online therapy in the afternoons and on Fridays.

Wayne Powell, LPC, Registered Supervisor
I was born on the beautiful tropical island of Jamaica, where I completed my undergraduate degree. I completed my graduate studies and residency in Virginia. I have provided mental health services in both my native country and the United States for over twenty-two (25) years. These experiences have broadened my sensitivity to issues that are culturally influenced and others that transcend cultural/ethnic barriers. I combine my personality, international counseling experience and passion to see lives change as I engage my profession. I am tri-lingual (Spanish, English and Patois, which is my Jamaican dialect). The ability to communicate in three languages has proven to be an asset as I "reach out" to the various populations I encounter. I am currently a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia. I am a registered supervisor with the Virginia Board of Counseling. I provide clinical supervision for residents in their pursuits to become licensed professional counselors and interns for completion of their graduate degrees. I am also certified in Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) which is an intervention geared at adolescents with a primary diagnosis of substance abuse. I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for several years in my interventions with clients, as I believe that our thoughts impact our emotions, which drive our actions .I am currently seeing clients in person and via telehealth.
