Therapists Beginning With D in Virginia

The process of therapy is all about change and fulfilling one’s ultimate potential and purpose. My role as a counselor is to assist in the process of self-change and personal growth. Change can be scary and uncomfortable but is a natural part of the human experience and something that I attempt to make more comfortable in my counseling practice. In my practice I utilize a wide-range of evidenced based practices to assist patients with multiple presenting problems relating to depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse and alcohol concerns and additional mood disorders.

Dr. Dabney and her team specialize in relationship problems, which includes their aftermath, and we would love to support you in working through them so you can achieve the relationships you desire and deserve!

Life is hard, change is harder, but I know with support and the right tools anything is possible.

You know what you want, but you don’t know how to get there. Let me help empower you to reach your highest potential in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. I want to acknowledge the courage it has taken you just to start looking. I’d be honored to be the one that can help you find your best self.
