Introduction

Has your life turned upside down with unexpected changes, trauma, depression, grief, or increased anxiety? Are you feeling unheard by family, coworkers, or friends? Do you struggle with creating boundaries or breaking unhealthy relationship patterns? I believe you should not face these life changes alone. Let me walk beside you in your journey and unpack these feelings. Self-love and self-care are real, and if no one has told you it's okay to put yourself first! I am Marita Kershaw, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the States of Virginia, New York, and Pennsylvania. I offer individual, family, and couples telehealth therapy sessions. Currently, I solely offer virtual appointments. As a therapist, I believe in building individuals gradually by offering a safe space as they enter a judgment-free zone. I want to know more about you, and I also want you to know me better. If I seem like a good match, I encourage you to believe that one step further and start your therapy with me. ------------------------------------------------------- Experiencing a crisis?
