Menzo Faassen, LPC

I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2015. I started in Tennessee, moved to New Mexico and moved to Virginia in 2022. I have extensive experience working with people who are in recovery from addiction. I also am proficient in working with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety and depression.

I am currently only providing online therapy on Friday and Saturday afternoons. I operate through Headway. At some point in the future, I hope to expand my hours and days that I'm available and expand to in person appointments. I will update this profile as that happens. My approach to therapy is to treat you as the expert to yourself and your issues. I strive to accept each client that I work with in a respectful and non judgmental manner. Our initial sessions will be devoted to getting to know each other and building rapport. It will also be an opportunity for me to get more information about you and your life and background. I try to incorporate creative techniques into my therapy approaches. I also look at roles that a person plays in life (currently and in the past), family patterns, and inner parts. I pull heavily from the modality of Psychodrama created by J. L. Moreno. This modality has been useful in dealing with a variety of issues and seeks to increase an individuals creativity and spontaneity so that they can develop new, healthy, adequate responses to past, current and future problems. Eventually my plan is to offer in person Psychodrama groups. I would be honored to walk with you in your healing journey.
