Ingrid Bornia, LCSW — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Ingrid!

I specialize in treating those who struggle with PTSD symptoms and adjustment issues post-traumatic exposure.

My focus

I work primarily with those who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and who have a trauma history. My clients meet with me when they have decided they want to process their trauma and heal from past injuries. Trauma scars us, but it doesn’t have to define you.

My approach

I offer shadow work and evidence-based trauma therapy, using an eclectic approach to help my clients choose to grow from their pain and learn how to better manage their symptoms so that they can be their best version of themselves.

My communication style

I feel that my greatest asset is to offer active listening skills to my clients and to present a safe space with the opportunity for my clients to be gently challenged for the purpose of improving themselves and promoting overall wellness and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

This career chose me; I did not choose it; therefore, I am relatable and truly empathetic about the challenges one faces when traumatized. I am passionate about what I do as a therapist and take my position in each of my clients' lives very seriously.

My goals for you

Goal setting is approached gently with realistic expectations.

Our first session

In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, discuss specific challenges, and then plan for goal setting, with homework to be processed in follow-up sessions.
