Therapists in Newport News City County, VA

I am a clinical psychologist with over 26 years of experience providing therapy and specialize in treating trauma and PTSD from military combat, training and first responder incidents. I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and have found this modality to be especially effective to reduce nightmares, intrusive thoughts, anger, anxiety and sensory triggers (reaction to sounds, smells, commotion, driving) that the sensory or fight-flight part of the brain has associated with one or more traumas. I am also certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma to shift negative beliefs.

I work with clients 18 years of age or older. I only speak English but have worked with clients who have provided a translator. I work with individuals, couples, and families and periodically facilitate support/discussion groups. Areas of clinical practice include Complicated/Disenfranchised Grief, Mood Disorders, Phase of Life Issues, Process/Substance Addiction Assessment and Treatment, Anger/Impulse Control Issues, and Relationship Counseling.

I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with life changes and transitions. I like to show people different ways of thinking about their issues. I have a number of ways to help people to get in touch with their feelings and to change the way they respond to situations and handle conflict in relationships. I help them to find ways to compromise, use the energy that comes from strong feelings, and to slow down their reactivity before they do harm to others. I deal with grief, anger, pain, loss, depression, and anxiety. I provide a safe place for clients.

Many are called to the profession of counseling, but very few are chosen. I have been chosen to guide others in finding direction, insight, and purpose. I am confident, compassionate, and unwavering in my desire to help clients see the light in the face of darkness. While my general philosophy is that therapy should be interpersonal, client-centered, and support based, I also believe in asking tough questions that challenge my client's existing mental conceptions and problem solving methodologies. My personal motto is "Challenge the thinking; change the behavior." Your mind is the battlefield of your life. Let me help you win!

Let's be honest, there are times in life that can be difficult. During these times, it is normal to feel sad, anxious, frustrated, or confused. But it is important to know that you do not have to go through these times alone. I would like to offer a listening ear and be a support to process through these experiences. Mohandas Ghandi said, "strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide to not surrender that is strength." I have worked with children, adolescents, couples, and adults in finding their purpose and strength. Let me help you through this progress.

A wise author once wrote, “Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.” Hi, my name is Faith Preston, and as a counselor, I strive to create a space that provides safety and empathy for my clients. Each person has a unique story, and the therapeutic process will be equally unique. The relationship between therapist and client is a strong factor in productive and deep work. It is what transpires in this relationship that can transform our lives and bring about the awareness we need to accept our authentic selves.
