Virtual Trauma Therapy with Kink-Aware, Poly-Friendly Support in Virginia
If you're navigating life with the invisible weight of trauma, you're not alone, and you don’t have to keep carrying it by yourself. Maybe you’ve spent years holding everything together, making sure everyone else is okay while quietly drowning under the surface. You might be longing for a space where you can just be, where your identity, relationships, and story are honored without judgment or the need to explain.
I offer virtual trauma therapy for individuals across Virginia who are seeking healing and support that affirms every part of who they are, including clients in kink, polyamorous, and LGBTQ+ communities. Whether you're healing from complex trauma, working through anxiety or PTSD, or just craving a place to feel fully accepted, I’m here to help.
Hi, I’m Nichole Venable, LPC – Welcome to My Healing Haven
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with a deep commitment to providing inclusive, affirming mental health care for those often left out of traditional therapy spaces. My approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and authenticity. I work best with clients who are looking for a therapist who gets it, who understands the nuances of identity, relationships, and healing from trauma in all its forms.
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. I pull from evidence-based modalities like EMDR, IFS (Internal Family Systems), CBT, and somatic practices, tailoring our sessions to meet you where you are. Whether you’re working through childhood trauma, relational pain, or the emotional aftermath of being misunderstood or marginalized, I offer a grounded, kink-aware, and poly-friendly space where healing can happen safely and on your terms.
What You Might Be Facing Right Now
Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted emotionally, physically, spiritually. Maybe you’re:
-
Struggling with complex trauma or PTSD that’s interfering with your daily life
-
Feeling isolated because your identity or relationship style isn’t widely understood
-
Tired of shrinking yourself to be “palatable” for others
-
Wanting to deepen your healing but unsure where to start
-
Longing for a space where you can show up completely, without fear of being judged or “too much”
If any of this resonates, know that you’re not broken and you’re not alone. Therapy can be a powerful step toward reclaiming your voice, your body, and your peace.
What Therapy Looks Like With Me
Our sessions will be tailored to your pace, your story, and your needs. My virtual therapy services are available to clients throughout Virginia, and I offer flexible scheduling to fit your life.
Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that have been silenced, wounded, or disconnected and invite them back into the light. I use approaches like:
-
EMDR to process and release traumatic memories
-
IFS to help you reconnect with your inner parts and build internal safety
-
CBT and somatic tools for grounding, emotional regulation, and reframing painful beliefs
You’ll never be rushed, pathologized, or asked to explain parts of your identity that are simply you. I meet you exactly where you are with deep respect and unwavering compassion.
How Healing Feels Over Time
As therapy unfolds, many of my clients begin to:
-
Feel more at home in their bodies and relationships
-
Develop stronger boundaries and self-trust
-
Release shame and reconnect with their authentic voice
-
Experience real emotional relief from the burdens of trauma
-
Discover joy, agency, and empowerment in areas that once felt stuck
Healing isn’t linear, and it won’t look the same for everyone, but it is possible. And it starts with finding someone who sees you, supports you, and believes in your capacity to heal.
