COUNSELING

In person and Telehealth Options

COUNSELING

Hi, I'm Hannah Bayne! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and educator currently residing in Moseley, VA (southwest of Richmond). I am licensed in both Virginia and Florida and can thus accept clients via Telehealth from both states.

I have my PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision (Old Dominion University, 2011) and received my masters degree in community counseling from the College of William and Mary (2009). I became licensed to practice counseling in the state of Virginia in 2014, and was licensed by endorsement in Florida in 2019. I have experience working with young adult/adult populations for a variety of clinical issues.

I have particular interest/experience in:

Anxiety
Depression
Stress Management
Adjustment/Life Transitions
Sexual and Gender Identity
Self Harm
Interpersonal Issues/Relationships
Cultural Issues
Identity Exploration/Development
Grief and Loss
Spiritual/Religious Issues
Career Exploration and Development
Postpartum Issues
Postraumatic Healing

My approach to counseling is eclectic – I like to select theories and techniques based on what is needed by each client. My primary clinical approaches are Humanistic/Person Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Narrative, Existential, and Adlerian. I have received additional training in incorporating spirituality/religion in counseling, grief and loss counseling, utilizing meditation in counseling, and strength-based counseling. I have completed basic training in EMDR and continue to gain training and consultation in this modality.

I also conduct research in the areas of cultural differences, issues of oppression and marginalization, empathy, and value conflicts (particularly related to religion, sexual/gender identity, and political identity).

I believe that each client is unique and requires an individual approach. I also believe that people have a desire for wholeness and growth, and that by understanding themselves and tapping into their own strengths and insights they can implement lifelong changes.

I lived for a short time in Peru and enjoy learning about other cultures. I also love to run, cook, and spend time with my family. I would love the chance to get to know you and support you on your own journey towards wholeness!

In Person Counseling

I hope to be able to offer in person counseling options soon in the Richmond metro area. Sessions are 45-50 minutes.

Payment: Due to the difficulty with pursuing insurance reimbursement, and the part time nature of the practice, I am currently only able to accept self-pay. I can provide a receipt that can be submitted to your insurance provider. My session fee is $150/hr, but I offer sliding scale options based on financial need.

Please reach out if you would like to inquire about availability!

Telemental Health

I am able to provide sessions via telemental health (video chat) for residents of Virginia and Florida. Sessions are 45-50 minutes and clients must be able to call in from a secure and private location. Telemental health isn't for everyone, so I like to have an initial chat with potential clients to see if this modality is right for you.

Please reach out if you would like to inquire about availability!
