Our therapists offer christian counseling in Fredericksburg, VA

Hello, I am Kelley Arrowood, a Resident in Counseling and National Certified Counselor based in Virginia. I hold a Master’s in Education in CACREP-accredited School Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor’s in Psychology with minors in Human Development and Women’s Studies from UNC Greensboro. For the last year and a half, I have served as a Resident in Counseling in outpatient settings; prior to that, I served seven years as lead school counselor in an elementary school. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation issues, grief, and family stress.

My therapeutic style is eclectic and person-centered. I draw from CBT, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), exposure therapy, play therapy, trauma-focused, and strengths-based approaches. My approach is compassionate, warm, practical, with a healthy dose of humor.

Life can be difficult, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I would feel privileged to hear your story and walk alongside you as you begin or continue your healing journey. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but you deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood. I invite you to schedule an initial appointment.

I am a compassionate mental health professional dedicated to helping adults navigate challenges such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Having personally overcome depression and anxiety following a traumatic experience, I understand the courage it takes to seek help. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can build resilience, develop coping skills, gain insight, and create meaningful change toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. 

My approach combines empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based care, including psychiatric evaluation, psychoeducation, medication management, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can build coping skills, resilience, self-awareness, and confidence to achieve lasting growth and wellness. 

Seeking support is a courageous step, and you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're facing emotional difficulties, managing a mental health condition, or looking for balance and fulfillment, I'm committed to your growth and healing. I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment. I look forward to supporting you.

I'm April Gardner, a Mental Health Resident with seven years of experience supporting individuals and couples. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, family challenges, and communication barriers between partners, including ADHD-related dynamics. I offer a faith-based Christian counseling perspective for those who want faith woven into their healing, and I run groups for ADHD and Search for Significance, a faith-centered approach to self-worth. I'm here to walk beside you through the hard parts.

My approach blends psychoeducation with faith-based support and hands-on practice between sessions. Homework isn't boring worksheets. It's creative experiments and novel experiences that fit how your brain works. Whether we're tackling ADHD, couple communication, or self-worth, you'll get clear tools, real goals, and progress you can see.

Whatever brought you here, you don't have to carry it alone anymore. Taking the first step is often the hardest part, and showing up for yourself is already courage. When you're ready, I'd be honored to walk beside you. You deserve support that meets you where you are.
