Deirdre Staton

Are you passionate about your life? If not, how would you define a life worth living? The purpose of therapy is for you to more deeply discover who you are, what you want, and how to get it. You can absolutely learn the skills needed to better manage problematic thoughts and emotions, improve and deepen relationships, live more fully in the moment, and pursue your goals and dreams. You can discover how to grow your courage, and develop a more loving and compassionate relationship with yourself. I'm ardent about helping women learn to navigate beyond those painful internal messages saying we're not ____ enough (e.g., smart, attractive, thin, wealthy, educated, etc.). Unchecked, these messages keep us living small or drive us to try and earn our worthiness through actions and belongings. There IS hope! You can build a life worth living. You can learn to have more control of your thoughts and emotions. You can learn to move beyond the negative self-talk. You can rediscover your innate worthiness. Take the first step. Contact me for a free phone consultation. I provide fully virtual therapy for individuals in Virginia who are working through anxiety, depression, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I’m dedicated to creating a compassionate and affirming space where all clients feel valued and supported. My approach is eclectic, integrating Positive Psychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Training, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you develop practical skills for managing emotions and improving relationships. Together, we’ll build resilience and nurture self-compassion from the comfort of your home, guiding you toward becoming your most authentic and empowered self.
