About

Welcome to Find A Therapist!

My name is Lance Crawford and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia. I have been in the mental health field since 2013 and have worked with a wide variety of populations including: young adults, at-risk youth, LGBTQ, substance abuse, and community mental health. I have a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Counseling from Eastern Mennonite University. My calling to this field has afforded me the opportunity to sit with individuals who have a range of mental health concerns and assist them in navigating through “the storm” to land at a place of calm and stability. In my experiences working with clients, I have found that we, as humans, are all capable and deserving of having a life fulfilled with meaning and purpose.

My approach to counseling is organic, meaning that the goal is for trust and the therapeutic relationship to develop naturally. I believe that counseling is a powerful experience that provides individuals with the opportunity to access vulnerable emotions and to do that effectively, a positive rapport must be established. The therapeutic lens in which I work derives from both Motivational Interviewing and Attachment Theory. I find that exploring our attachment patterns help to reveal deeper understanding of the relationships in which we find ourselves and in return, rewards us with a stronger sense of self and security to manage our own lives. I am also driven to help my clients make positive change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. Learning how to trust our own internal compass (or gut feeling) increases our self-awareness and resiliency.

I look forward to meeting you and joining you on this journey of self-discovery!
