About me
Warmest Greetings,
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, advocate, and educator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, challenges with life transitions, trauma and ADHD. I also have worked in Emergency Services, inpatient hospitals, jails, and with educating law enforcement on how to respond to those experiencing a mental health crisis in the community.
My counseling style is authentic, personable, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines CBT, REBT, Solution Focused, and Reality counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek help for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
LET'S WORK!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Karla Lewis. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Very patient and listens trying to clarify situation and offer meaningful solutions
Great therapist and very understanding. I like that she doesn’t pick sides and gives it to you straight. I love that she’s not judgmental and I can be myself and let my guard down. Highly recommend!
Have only had 3 sessions, but our relationship has already significantly improved thanks to Karla.
