Therapy Designed Around You and Your Healing
Healing from trauma, anxiety, and unhealthy relationship patterns isn't one-size-fits-all. At All Souls Counseling, every service is built around evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique story, strengths, and goals — because lasting change happens when the work is personal.
Services offered include EMDR Therapy, Relationship Trauma Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Individual Therapy — each designed to support adults in Roanoke and throughout Virginia, in-person and via telehealth.
EMDR Therapy
Process Trauma Without Reliving It Over and Over
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer hold the same emotional charge. Rather than talking through painful experiences repeatedly, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — such as guided eye movements — to help your nervous system complete the processing it couldn't finish at the time of the original experience.
EMDR therapy is effective for PTSD, attachment trauma, childhood wounds, relationship injuries, and anxiety rooted in past experiences. Many clients notice meaningful shifts in how they feel about memories that once felt overwhelming — gaining clarity, emotional distance, and a renewed sense of freedom.
EMDR may help if you:
- Experience intrusive memories, flashbacks, or emotional triggers
- Feel stuck despite previous talk therapy
- Carry shame, fear, or self-blame from past relationships or experiences
- Want to heal without having to retell your story in exhaustive detail
Relationship Trauma Therapy
Heal the Wounds That Unhealthy Relationships Left Behind
Relationship trauma can come from a wide range of experiences: emotionally unavailable or unpredictable caregivers, hurtful romantic partnerships, betrayal, manipulation, or chronic patterns of feeling unseen and unvalued. Over time, these experiences shape how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in close connections.
Relationship trauma therapy helps you understand the root of these patterns — not to assign blame, but to make sense of why you respond the way you do. Together, we'll explore how past experiences are influencing your present, build compassionate self-awareness, and develop new ways of showing up in relationships that feel genuinely safe and fulfilling.
This therapy may be a fit if you:
- Keep finding yourself in relationships that feel unsafe, one-sided, or emotionally draining
- Struggle with fear of abandonment, rejection, or trusting others
- People-please until you're exhausted, then feel resentful or lost
- Want to break cycles you recognize but feel powerless to stop
Attachment-Based Therapy
Understand How Early Experiences Shape Who You Are in Relationships
Attachment theory tells us that the earliest bonds we form — with parents, caregivers, and close family — create a blueprint for how we experience safety, closeness, and connection throughout our lives. When those early bonds were inconsistent, painful, or absent, that blueprint often leads to anxiety, avoidance, or difficulty trusting others in adult relationships.
Attachment-based therapy creates space to examine that blueprint with curiosity and compassion. Rather than labeling you as 'too much' or 'too needy,' this work helps you understand that your patterns developed for good reasons — and that with the right support, they can change. Clients often experience greater emotional security, stronger self-trust, and deeper, more fulfilling connections.
Attachment-based therapy can help if you:
- Feel anxious or clingy in close relationships, or find yourself pulling away
- Struggle to feel truly secure even in relationships that seem healthy on paper
- Have difficulty identifying or expressing your needs
- Want to build a more stable, grounded sense of self
Individual Therapy
Personalized Counseling for the Challenges You're Facing Right Now
Life rarely fits neatly into a single category. Individual therapy at Thrive Counseling is designed for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, difficult life transitions, grief, low self-worth, or simply the sense that something needs to change. You don't need a specific diagnosis or a dramatic story to deserve support.
Your treatment plan is built collaboratively — starting with a thorough understanding of your history, your current struggles, and your goals. Drawing on EMDR, attachment-focused approaches, and other evidence-based tools, each session is tailored to what you need most. Therapy at Thrive is a partnership: your goals guide the work, and your pace sets the rhythm.
Individual therapy may be right for you if you are:
- Struggling with anxiety, chronic worry, or emotional overwhelm
- Navigating a major life transition or loss
- Working through trauma, relationship wounds, or low self-esteem
- Ready for meaningful change but unsure where to start

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about getting started, how EMDR works, session structure, and fees — so you can move forward with confidence.
What can I expect in a first therapy session?
The first session is primarily a conversation. We'll discuss what brings you in, your personal history, and what you're hoping to work toward. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with — the goal is to begin building trust and understanding, and to start shaping a treatment plan that fits your needs.
How does EMDR therapy actually work?
EMDR uses bilateral stimulation — most commonly guided eye movements — to help your brain reprocess memories that are stored in a way that keeps triggering emotional distress. The process follows a structured eight-phase protocol and doesn't require you to describe every detail of a traumatic experience. Many clients describe it as feeling like a weight they've carried for years finally begins to lift.
How long are sessions and how often will we meet?
Individual sessions are typically 50-55 minutes. EMDR processing sessions may be scheduled for extended 80-90 minute slots to allow for full processing within a single session. Most clients begin with weekly sessions, with frequency adjusting over time as progress develops and goals evolve.
Do you accept insurance?
All Souls Counseling is a self-pay practice and does not bill insurance directly. Self-pay allows for greater privacy, more flexible treatment planning, and care that isn't constrained by insurance-approved diagnoses or session limits. A superbill can be provided upon request if you'd like to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer.
How do I know which service is right for me?
You don't need to arrive with a clear answer. A free 15-minute consultation is the best way to talk through what you're experiencing and determine together which approach fits best. Many clients find that their work draws from more than one modality — EMDR alongside attachment-focused therapy, for example — and the plan is always adjusted to what serves you most.
Do you offer virtual therapy?
Yes. Secure telehealth sessions are available to clients throughout the entire state of Virginia. Virtual therapy is effective for trauma work, EMDR, and individual counseling, and is a fully supported option at Thrive Counseling.
You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone
Whether you're healing from relationship trauma, struggling with anxiety, or ready to break lifelong patterns, support is available. Together, we can help you understand your story, heal from the past, and build the life and relationships you want moving forward.
