Philosophy of Care

Courage, trust, and vulnerability- Three of the most important grounding traits that help  us with the ups and downs of life. Although there will be hard and challenging  conversations in therapy, there will also be laughs and growth to celebrate. By creating  a safe and supportive environment, you will have the opportunity to grow and develop  the skills needed for whatever obstacles occur on your journey, whether we are faced  with anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, communication difficulties, couple or family  problems, parent-child challenges, or transitional obstacles. Having someone in your  corner, to support you and offer challenging perspectives can help empower you to  rediscover your inner strength. 

Alyssa offers a person-centered, humanistic approach with a cognitive behavioral  foundation. By collaborating with her clients, Alyssa creates a safe, non judgmental  space to explore the clients goals, worries, and fears. Alyssa encourages the client to  challenge themselves by offering perspectives and proposing mindful questions.  

By building a strong rapport with you, Alyssa is best able to support and guide you on  your own individual journey. Alyssa will meet you where you are at and take each step  with you as you grow.

Kathleen Bingaman, LCSW

Philosophy of Care

Katie offers a warm and accepting environment to adults of all backgrounds, circumstances, and identities. Katie believes that great therapy comes down to two things: an authentic relationship and well-honed clinical technique. You’ll always get the “real” Katie in therapy, and you’ll be confident that you’re making progress. Katie is validating, attentive, and intuitive. She serves as a compassionate guide through the therapeutic process. Katie is a good match for clients who are willing to explore the relationship between the past and present, who are seeking to build a toolkit of strategies for thriving (instead of just surviving), and who see therapy as one stepping stone on their overall journey towards a life well lived. 

Technically speaking, Katie’s therapeutic orientation is rooted in attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology. Translation: She operates from the assumption that suffering doesn’t happen in a vacuum and that sustainable healing is possible. Katie uses a combination of unstructured “talk” therapy and more formalized, technique heavy interventions. Katie helps her clients build their capacity to cope with life’s struggles, connect with their inner wisdom and unique gifts, and achieve powerful shifts in perspective and behavior. 

Katie is a proud Virginian who recently moved back home to Richmond with her husband and pup. She enjoys getting her hands dirty in the garden, binging on podcasts, hunting for the best slice of pizza in town, and walking her own imperfect path towards inner-peace.

Most times, clients need a therapist who listens deeply and helps them find sort through their challenges.  I do this, without bias.  You come to me so that you can voice your concerns without judgement, and to find a professional who has perspective. I will encourage you, support you with information and resources, and if you like, tell you what I think based on my many years of experience working with other individuals and couples.    

I have worked in the field for 18 years.  I know how to be direct and still be tactful and encouraging.  I won’t mess around and burn up your time.   Whether you are anxious, depressed, struggling with difficult circumstances, or just not feeling ok and not knowing why, I’ve had good success helping clients in the past with similar struggles. I am trained in traditional as well as the most current, evidence-based therapies, so together we can figure out what works best for you.

After many years of seeing 100s of individuals and couples, I’ve come to very much agree with Dr. Margaret Paul’s statement, “Abandonment and self-abandonment are the most frequent cause of unhappiness.”

Should we work together, I might ask you,  “Have you any hard or frightening experiences where you were too much on your own?  “To what extent have you abandoned yourself in recent years?” “In what ways have you pushed your own desires, needs, wants, and values aside thinking that doing this is what is necessary, or because it will make others, and therefore yourself, happy?" 

We’re going to work hard together at helping you find yourself again, to trust and love yourself again, and take really good care of yourself. We will increase those moments of joy for you that we all need to get through hard times.  I treasure doing this work, because watching hearts and minds heal is both an honor and a joy in my life.

My Masters in Counseling Psychology was completed at Bethel University.  I provide counseling both online, through our secure account, on the phone, or in person.  My work has included clinical supervision of trainees, and I also served as an adjunct faculty member at Adler University in Minneapolis.  A combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, somatic therapy, and inner parts therapy form the basis of the work I do with clients to address anxiety, depression, PTSD, early childhood adverse experiences, transitions including career, aging and loss, and anger management.

Nino Chkhaidze Roy, Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Philosophy of Care

Dr. Nino Roy is a clinical psychologist with twelve years’ experience in therapeutic work with adults, children, and adolescents. Nino’s work has been concentrated around depressive, bipolar, and personality disorders, trauma, panic attacks, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptomatology, relationship difficulties, and parent-child interaction. In her therapeutic practice Nino equally focuses on various aspects of a person’s functioning, such as emotions, behaviors/habits, thoughts, personality type, and interaction styles. 

Dr. Roy has been trained in psychoanalytic, emotion-focused, behavioral, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal psychotherapy modalities. She integrates the principles of those theories to match the specific needs of every person with whom she works. Nino’s therapy style is process-oriented as well as goal-oriented, which means that Nino takes time to develop mutual understanding and trust, while actively guiding clients towards meeting their goals. Dr. Roy puts an emphasis on identifying the root of the problems and helping people gain more awareness of their own psychological functioning so that they graduate from therapy with not only their current goals met, but with the increased ability to handle potential future difficulties.

Originally from the country of Georgia in Eastern Europe where she received her Masters’ degree and worked as a psychologist, Nino came to the US several years ago to pursue her doctoral studies at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. After graduating from the Combined-Integrated Doctoral Program of Clinical and School Psychology, Dr. Roy became a licensed clinical psychologist (LCP) in Virginia and a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA). Nino is pleased to work for Thriveworks Counseling and always looks forward to meeting new clients.

Rashida Riley Anderson, LCSW

Philosophy of Care

I am licensed in Maryland and Virginia as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C and LCSW, respectively). I have been a social worker since 2008. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Social Work from Frostburg State University in 2008. I graduated from The University of Maryland, Baltimore with a Masters in Social Work in 2010. I have worked in the treatment foster care, a community-based adolescent psychiatric rehabilitation program, adult residential treatment program, an outpatient mental health clinic, private practice, as well as a non-profit commercial insurance company.

My primary therapy orientation is client-centered. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for client growth. I understand that every individual is not an illness or label, rather a person with multiple contributing factors which attribute to one’s reason for seeking help. For this reason, I use an eclectic approach to treatment based on one’s needs. Those treatment approaches include: CBT, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness, Functional Family Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I have experience working with individuals, couples, and families – adolescents and adults suffering from depression/mood disorders, anxiety, trauma/abuse, addiction and substance use, divorce, infidelity, family conflict, relationship issues, suicidal ideations, and grief. Additionally, I have done work with clients involving career path, self-esteem/self-confidence, coping skills, life-transitions, and everyday issues. I also address multi-cultural concerns, issues with prejudices, diversity and inclusion, and LGBTQI related concerns.

Through my work with youth, I have performed Function Family Therapy to address the why and how to assist the youth and his/her family with addressing concerns and finding solutions to remedy those problems. In working with individuals, I have used CBT to address maladaptive thought patterns and finding ways to adjust those thoughts to produce positive change. In couple’s counseling, solution focused therapy has helped the couple identify the problem and partner together to arrive at and exercise the solutions to address their issues. 

My passion lies in assisting individuals and couple’s to find their inner voice and channel it in a healthy way so they can begin to lead the lives they’ve always hoped for.

“At some point in our lives, we all experience problems we just can’t handle on our own. Sometimes psychological issues such as anxiety and depression can be an underlying cause of physical ailments. Whether you are experiencing relationship issues, job stress, loss of job, home or loved one, a general sense of discontent or lack of connection, or have had trauma in your life, it’s okay to ask for help. In fact, asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness. First, I will listen to you with empathy and without judgment. Then, I will help you fully explore what’s causing you trouble and develop a plan for improving your life.”

Toni has experience treating adults of all ages and couples primarily using cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and person-centered therapy. She is also trained in EMDR Therapy, which is used to treat trauma, and has training in the Gottman Method for couples.
