Ida Downey, LCMHC

Psychotherapist
VA
Hi, I'm Jo. Congratulations on taking the first and often the hardest step by reaching out for help. I will do my best to support you during this challenging time in your life. I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with couples, families, and individuals on relationship issues, family conflict, trauma and abuse, addiction, depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, and women’s issues. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, typically blending Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strategic Family Therapy. Counseling is a process by which we work together to identify and work on any issues you bring to our sessions. My approach to counseling operates from a strength-based perspective to help you identify your strengths within yourself and develop self-awareness that will aid you in meeting your goals through your active involvement as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but more often it will be slow and deliberate; efforts may need to be repeated. I’m here to work collaboratively with you and help you reach your goals. I specialize in working with individuals facing addiction, ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, family relationships, grief, intimate and romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, life transitions, military and veteran support, OCD, phobias, PTSD, spirituality, stress, and trauma. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth for those who prefer or require remote sessions. I look forward to working with you and exploring and building on the strengths you already have. Let's take this journey together and work towards the positive changes you seek.
