Amelia Jacokes, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Amelia!

Do you want to learn more about yourself and how you walk through life? Do you experience difficulties in areas that others seem to have a relatively easy time managing? I'm ready to help you gain insight and overcome challenges.

My focus

In my private practice, I mainly work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, panic, and trauma related to either long-standing life occurrences or situational events leading to general discontent. I'm here to support you through life's difficulties.

My approach

I draw therapeutic interventions from a broad mix of treatment styles, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychodrama, and Mindfulness. My approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs.

My communication style

I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express yourself. Through compassionate listening and collaborative dialogue, we'll work together to help you gain clarity, develop coping skills, and make positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began during my internship, where I gained valuable experience working with dementia patients and individuals dealing with chronic pain. I further honed my skills in intensive outpatient programs, supporting a wide variety of individuals with mental health needs.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to navigate life's challenges, improve your well-being, and lead a more fulfilling life. I'm committed to helping you build resilience, gain self-awareness, and achieve your personal growth objectives.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy and collaborate to establish goals aligned with your needs and aspirations. I'll provide a safe, supportive environment where you can share your story and begin your journey towards healing and growth.
