Kiel Van Ness, MS, LPC
I use an approach that incorporates multiple evidence-based therapies to help clients challenge negative thinking, navigate difficult emotions, and enjoy more fulfilling relationships. Finding your authentic self is a worthwhile endeavor.
Many people experience concerns related to feelings of unworthiness, imposter syndrome, and their relationship with themselves. I am passionate about helping clients find solutions to their problems and inner strengths that are limited by core beliefs. Perhaps you struggle to embrace more positive, accurate thinking, or there is something in the way of your most valued relationships—you are preoccupied with how you present yourself, and as a result, you don't communicate with them authentically. With compassion and a range of treatment modalities, I meet individuals where they are on their journey and assist them in a non-judgmental manner.
I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults navigating the challenges of mental health and substance use addiction. I utilize an eclectic approach, which allows me to provide therapy to individuals with diverse backgrounds. Having grown up in the inspiring landscape of the Shenandoah Valley, I feel privileged to give back to communities in the region. Through our collaboration, I strive to create an environment that fosters true healing and growth. Reaching out for therapy requires courage and strength, and I sincerely appreciate the trust my clients place in this process.
