Camryn Ridpath
She/Her

Hello and welcome! My name Camryn Ridpath and I am a licensed Resident in Counseling in Virginia. I am passionate about working with adults as they navigate struggles across all areas of their personal, professional, spiritual, cultural and family life. I have experience providing support to individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, relationship conflicts, life transitions and more! I have a passion for working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, women, and anyone who is looking for healing and support through collaboration, empowerment and empathy.

In my work as a counselor, I tend to integrate several different therapeutic techniques, models and theories such as: Person-Centered Therapy; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy; Motivational Interviewing; Narrative Therapy, and creative arts interventions. I use this integrative approach to counseling because I believe that therapy should be an individualized process that is uniquely tailored to meet the specific needs of each person. Regardless of the therapeutic tools that I use with my clients, I always rely on a solid foundation of culturally competent, trauma-informed, and strengths-based treatment with a strong emphasis on building a safe, collaborative and non-judgmental counseling space for my clients to show up as their authentic selves and continue the process of healing and growth.

Although reaching out for help can sometimes feel scary, it might just be the bravest thing you can do on your journey to mental wellness. I strive to guide my clients along their journey to find peace with their past and courage to face the challenges that they may face in the future. My goal as a counselor is to provide individualized treatment that helps my clients to navigate the many trials and joys that life brings. I take a strengths-based approach to understanding my clients and I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental counseling environment that allows room for each client to show up as their true, authentic self.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2022 and obtained my Master’s in Counselor Education with a focus on Clinical Mental Health Counseling in May of 2025--both from Longwood University. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, a dog mom to two amazing pups, and a friend to many! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
