Hannah Pocock & Associates is a group psychotherapy practice in Charlottesville, Virginia. We offer individual therapy for adults, young adults, and adolescents aged 16 and older, and clinical consultation and supervision for psychotherapists. We embrace a holistic, integrative approach that honors the complex interactions between body and mind, person and environment, and past and present. To this end, we draw on experiential, psychodynamic, and somatic modalities, among others, to support our clients’ self-discovery and growth.

who we are

hannah pocock, lcsw

Hannah Pocock is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of trauma and attachment issues. Her approach is grounded psychodynamic theories and somatic psychology, and she is a Certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapist. Much of her work involves helping young adults, women of all ages, and members of the LGBTQ+ community with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and identity questions. She also offers consultation and supervision to therapists interested in incorporating somatic, experiential, and psychodynamic approaches into their work.

approach

Hannah sees therapy as a collaborative process that allows us to be deeply seen and heard, and to see ourselves in new and transformative ways. It can strengthen our sense of who we are and how we fit into the world. It can help us experience more enlivened states of being, and move through life with greater flexibility and freedom. As we understand ourselves more fully, relationships with others can become richer and more fulfilling.

From the first session, Hannah strives to create a warm and nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel safe and deeply understood. She works together with her clients to make sense of early experiences, address present day concerns, and shift patterns or beliefs that no longer serve them. Her approach is integrative, with attention to mind and body as sources of information and resources for healing. This mind-body approach can help clients learn to feel grounded in the present, safely face painful past experiences, and access their innate capacities for healing, growth, and connection. She views the work through an anti-oppression lens, and welcomes exploration in therapy of the impact of oppressive systems on individuals and communities. She welcomes those who are new to therapy, as well as those who have had negative or lackluster experiences in previous therapies.

training

Hannah received her Master’s degree in clinical social work from Smith College School for Social Work, known for its rigorous psychodynamic training. She has completed extensive postgraduate training in the treatment of trauma and attachment wounds, and is certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, a mind-body approach to treating the somatic, emotional, and cognitive impacts of trauma and relationship issues. She is also trained in EMDR, including EMDR approaches to the treatment of very early, pre-verbal trauma.

Kristin Schroeder, MSW

Kristin Schroeder is a social work supervisee offering individual therapy to adults and adolescents aged 16+ who are coping with issues related to anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, self-esteem, loss, and trauma. She has a particular interest in serving young adults, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and people whose mental health has been impacted by racial justice activism and state violence.

approach

In addition to cultivating warm, collaborative relationships with clients, Kristin’s approach welcomes conversations about the oppressive structures that impact our everyday lives. Her clinical tools complement this holistic perspective, which sees individuals and their communities as complex, embodied systems. As a result, she draws frequently from experiential, psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness, and parts work techniques. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, thrifting, and practicing yoga.

training

Kristin has a Master’s degree in clinical social work from Virginia Commonwealth University and a PhD in Art History from the University of Michigan. She completed two graduate-level clinical placements at The Women’s Initiative (Charlottesville) and The ARROW Project (Staunton), where she provided psychotherapy to women and adolescents from diverse backgrounds.

Jackie Street rose, lcsw

Jackie is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of trauma-related concerns using a combination of relational, psychodynamic, and experiential techniques. She works with individuals 16 and older living with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity questions, grief/loss, and relationship concerns. She has a keen interest in working with those who have experienced religious or spiritual trauma and also offers group psychotherapy around recovering from spiritual abuse. Her approach is grounded by a commitment to anti-oppressive and LGBTQIA+ affirming care which recognizes the traumatic impacts of systemic oppression.

Approach

Jackie views therapy as a collaborative process and aims to provide holistic care that appreciates your unique, multiple, intersecting layers of identity. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is a catalyst for change, and works to create a space where clients feel safe enough to explore the aspects of their experience that seem too overwhelming to face alone. She enjoys teaching clients about the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma and supporting their innate ability to grow and transform ways of being that may no longer serve them. Drawing on a variety of creative and integrative treatment modalities, her approach is tailored to support each individual, whether you are exploring therapy for the first time or returning to it in hopes of having a new experience.

In addition to long-term work with clients, Jackie also offers EMDR intensives for those interested in short-term therapy to target specific traumas. Perhaps you’ve already done the work to understand your triggers and have developed tools to help you regulate, but you still feel stuck. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is proven to help the nervous system renegotiate how a painful event was originally processed, make sense of your experience, and move the stuck distress into your long-term memory instead of feeling so present. A standard 50-minute session can sometimes feel limiting to how much you want to accomplish in therapy. By offering longer sessions (typically 90-120 minutes) and meeting twice a week, this intensive model can help you jumpstart a stalled process and get to the root of what is stuck to find relief faster.

training

Jackie received her Master’s degree in clinical social work from Virginia Commonwealth University. She completed a postgraduate psychotherapy fellowship at Riverbend Integrative Trauma Treatment where she received extensive training and supervision in parts work, EMDR, attachment repair, and somatic interventions. She participates regularly in consultation and training that supports a mind-body approach to this work.

Jennifer is a supervisee in clinical social work providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and small groups. Her extensive background in the arts as well as creating, owning and managing small businesses fuels her interest and ability to support those struggling with performance and productivity. She enjoys working with those that are curious about healing and finding deeper connections within their bodies, relationships, and experiences. Her work centers around helping people with issues of emotional dysregulation, unprocessed traumatic experiences, life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship and attachment issues, and bodily discomforts.

approach

A felt sense of safety and stabilization is primary to the therapeutic experience. To this end, Jennifer begins with psychoeducation and sensory and somatic interventions that facilitate nervous system regulation. Jen often uses the principles and practices of Jessica Wolf’s The Art of Breathing in her work, harnessing the power of the breath to facilitate deep knowledge and change. Jen believes in the power of a positive therapeutic relationship, and uses a collaborative and strengths-based approach to invite clients to slow down and increase awareness of their internal and interpersonal patterns. She listens deeply and uses dimensional attention to thoughts, emotions, senses, and behaviors to encourage the client and allow for healing and change. Intergenerational and historical trauma are considered in the context of the family, community and cultural systems that impact the client’s life in past, present and future.
