Richmond's mental health community has spoken, and Resilience Counseling & Social Skills Center stands tall among the best, securing second place in Richmond's Best Mental Health Practice for 2025. This recognition highlights the center's dedication to providing exceptional mental health services throughout Virginia.
A Testament to Quality Care and Community Trust
Since opening its doors in 2018, Resilience Counseling has grown to become a cornerstone of mental health support in the Richmond area. With five physical locations across Richmond, Midlothian, Glen Allen, Stafford, and Fredericksburg, the center has expanded its reach to serve more Virginians in need of quality mental health care.
"We would like to thank our clients for taking the time to vote for us in recognition of the high quality mental health care that Resilience Counseling & Social Skills Center has provided since our inception in 2018," the center shared in a recent statement.
The center also extended congratulations to Healing Circle Counseling for winning first place and to Richmond Creative Counseling for their third-place finish, acknowledging that together, these practices are making a positive impact on the Richmond community through accessible outpatient counseling, psychiatry, and psychological services.
Comprehensive Mental Health Services for All Ages
What sets Resilience Counseling apart is its comprehensive approach to mental health care. The center offers a wide range of services including individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, couples counseling, psychological testing, and psychiatry. Their team of over 60 licensed professionals specializes in treating various mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, and bipolar disorder.
The center serves a diverse clientele, working with children (ages 4 and up), teenagers, adults, couples, and families. This broad age range allows Resilience to address mental health needs across generations, often working with multiple family members to create holistic treatment plans.
For clients who prefer or require remote options, Resilience offers telehealth services, making mental health care accessible to those who may have transportation challenges or busy schedules.
A Team Dedicated to Mental Wellness
Behind Resilience Counseling's success is a team of dedicated mental health professionals who bring expertise and compassion to their work every day. The center recognizes that this recent honor wouldn't be possible without their commitment.
"Resilience Counseling would also like to recognize the hard work and dedication each one of our team members contribute on a daily basis with the goal of supporting the mental health of each community we serve," the center noted in their statement about the award.
The professional staff includes Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Psychologists, and Psychiatrists who employ evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and trauma-informed care.
Building Resilience in the Community
