We also believe becoming a great therapist requires a team that supports both your professional development and your well-being. Seasons Counseling is an outpatient mental health practice with four locations across Virginia: Charlottesville, Culpeper, Warrenton, and Locust Grove. We provide individual mental health counseling to children, adolescents, and adults, offering thoughtful, evidence-based care. At our core, what makes Seasons different is our commitment to teaching. Our founder, Anne Luckinbill, began her career as an elementary school teacher before stepping away to raise her four children. Years later, she returned to school to pursue her passion for counseling, eventually opening her own practice and becoming a clinical supervisor. Today, Anne is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and North Carolina, a National Certified Counselor (NCC), an Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS), and a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist who trained with Dr. Sue Johnson, the founder of Emotionally Focused Therapy. At Seasons, we take clinical education seriously and take pride in helping our residents develop into exceptional therapists. Our residents work through real cases, ask difficult questions, and learn from the experience of their supervisors and colleagues. We encourage curiosity, honest feedback, and the critical thinking that develops through experience and thoughtful mentorship. What you can expect at Seasons: - Clinical education that continues beyond graduate school. Our residents receive approximately 2.5 hours of combined individual and group supervision each week, including case discussions, clinical decision-making, documentation, and professional boundaries. Supervision is provided at no cost to our residents. - Experienced mentors who are invested in you. Our supervisors are approachable, knowledgeable, and available when you need guidance. We want residents to feel comfortable asking questions, discussing difficult cases, and learning from mistakes. - Room to grow at your own pace. We build caseloads gradually, giving new clinicians time to develop their confidence and skills. We recognize that people learn differently, and we want that growth to be both clinically responsible and sustainable. - Colleagues who learn from one another. Some of the most valuable learning happens when therapists share their experiences. Our team regularly consults with one another, offering different perspectives and helping each other work through challenging cases. - Support with the business side of practice. Our clinicians are W-2 employees, and Seasons handles client scheduling, administrative support, insurance-related administrative requirements, and billing. We also provide the malpractice coverage needed to practice and offer paid time off to eligible employees. We want our therapists to spend more of their time focused on clients and their clinical development. - Options that fit different stages of life. We offer full-time positions and part-time opportunities where available. Whether you're pursuing a full-time residency or need a schedule that accommodates other responsibilities, we're open to discussing opportunities that support your professional goals. Our full-time residency model is designed to support progression toward licensure in approximately 24 months, depending on individual progress and Virginia Board requirements.
