About
As someone who values authenticity and understands that life does not always fit neatly into a box, I strive to create a space where you can feel safe being yourself, explore what is holding you back, and discover your own path forward.
I have worked with clients with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD and Bipolar Disorders the past 25 years through various capacities. Challenges my clients have often faced include socioeconomic barriers, dysfunctional relational and coping patterns, incarceration, domestic violence, limited supports, and traumatic experiences while pursuing positive changes that promote long-term, independent and healthy lifestyles. My direct experience is supplemented through credentials that include Resident in Counseling, CSAC Supervisee, certified yoga instructor and certified nutrition coach.
My therapeutic philosophy promotes healthy lifestyle habits, meaningful connections, appropriately prescribed medications, self reflection, and personal accountability. I provide a person-centered, solution-oriented approach through the use of motivational interviewing, cognitive therapeutic interventions, and mindfulness practices.
If you are feeling stuck, unseen, overwhelmed, navigating serious life changes or specific diagnoses, please reach out to obtain support in walking through your journey.

As a former school counselor, wife and mother of adult children, I bring both professional experience and real-life perspective to my work, creating a warm, compassionate and judgement -free space where clients feel understood, build their strengths, and find meaningful ways to navigate life's challenges.
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.

Hey, my name is Kayla Thorne! I have received my Doctorate in Human Services, Master of Social Work, and Bachelor of Arts in sociology. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2025 and have provided therapy to children, adolescents, and teenagers since 2023 as a Supervisee in Social Work. I have also provided therapy to college-aged students and adults since 2025. I enjoy the wide variety of clients that I work with who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and life changes. I work with the clients to set goals for therapy and help them achieve those goals throughout the therapy timeframe.
I use a cognitive-behavioral therapy approach and have specialized training in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I focus on active listening, cognitive restructuring, and assigning homework (as needed) between sessions to support continued growth.
Life can be challenging to navigate at times, especially when you feel anxious, stressed, or alone. I know it can be hard to find someone to trust to talk about your experiences when it seems impossible to deal with the life stressors. I'll be there to meet you where you are during those tough times, so feel free to book a session with me.

Mary Alice Fields is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has 30 years of experience counseling couples, families, and individuals. Mary Alice completed her Master of Education (MEd) at Lindsey Wilson College.
Mary Alice believes most people do the best they can with the knowledge and experience they possess. At times in our lives, our knowledge and experience are not enough to solve problems and live our most productive life. At times like this, collaboration with a licensed professional counselor can help us discover ways to solve issues and achieve our full potential. Changing our perception of issues can be most helpful. By adjusting our thought process, we can begin to see our problems in a new light, and discover solutions to seemingly insurmountable issues.
Again, collaboration with a counselor can assist in this process. Old thought patterns can be replaced with new, healthier thought patterns that help us live our best life. The most important thing necessary to get you on your way to a more productive life is an open mind and a willingness to change. As a counselor, Mary Alice is your partner in ushering in this change. She cannot solve your problems, but she can and will assist you in learning new ways to achieve your goals.

At times, loved ones may minimize the severity of what those with depression are experiencing. After all, depression’s pain is not mark with a physical sign like a temperature or a rash. Nonetheless, the pain is very real.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) outlines several types of depression and clearly labels it a mental illness.
Did you recognize anything on this list? A counselor, therapist, or doctor should only make a diagnosis, but if you are experiencing these symptoms, it may be time to reach out for help. Finding the right diagnosis is of utmost important for finding the right treatment. Depression can manifest in a variety of ways. For example, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder are all forms of depression. Skilled mental health professionals can often help their clients find the right diagnosis and the right treatment plan for their unique symptoms.
Depression is a tricky and ruthless disease, but there are treatment options that are effective against it. It often takes a therapist’s or counselor’s guidance to find the right treatment, but many people have rediscovered happiness and hope. Just as depression affects many areas of a person’s life, treatment often requires a multi-faceted approach. While each person need a unique treatment plan, most of those plans will include some form of medication and some form of talk-based therapy. The medication can lessen symptoms so that people feel like themselves again. The therapy empowers people to heal wounds and build their coping skills.
Consider working with the professionals at Thriveworks Harrisonburg. Our counselors and therapists understand that living with depression is hard. Scheduling therapy should be easy.
