About Virginia

Hello, I’m Virginia Stouffer
 
I am a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC), and a former school counselor. 
 
I am passionate about working with children, teens, and adults.  
 
I have successfully supported adults, children, and teens who are struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, self-esteem, peer/relationship conflict, traumatic experiences, and grief and loss. I believe in providing support to work towards the goals my clients set by using a client centered and mindfulness approach, meaning I meet them where they are at and utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches.
 
My work with my clients encompasses supporting them through life’s stressors. I am dedicated to providing a safe space to navigate and work through the emotions that surface as a result of their experiences and provide tangible life skills to positively cope and heal. I believe in being honest and transparent with my clients during the therapeutic process. Additionally, I utilize Mindfulness for all ages and play and art therapy techniques for children and teens.
 
I am also incredibly passionate about working with moms. I am a mom of 3 small humans, two of which are twins. I affectionately refer to them as my circus because it’s a wild ride and the hardest work I’ll ever do is to raise them.  I recognize the demands and stressors that parents, especially moms, have. To be clear, I am not discounting the work provided and strain that fathers undergo. To my moms out there, I recognize that there are particular stressors that often leave mothers feeling invisible and undervalued. I work with my clients to build balance, validation, and strategies to calm the overwhelm in their lives. 
 
My years of experience as a school counselor have uniquely provided me with the skillset to support children and teens who are struggling, and to help families connect and support their kids. Children and teens require age appropriate interventions and structures to help them grow and heal. In addition to the therapeutic help I have provided, I am able to assist them and their families with navigating school-related concerns and more. Please view our Advocacy and Support page on our website for more information about school related advocacy, parent coaching, and support I provide. 
 
I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!
