Counseling Practice – Unhinged Healing
Unhinged Healing, operating as Viola Counseling LLC, is a trauma-informed mental health practice based in Harrisonburg, Virginia. The practice was founded and is led by Jen Viola, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified EMDR Therapist. The practice has grown to include a second therapist who shares Viola’s trauma-focused clinical approach.
Services are available both in-person in Harrisonburg and through virtual telehealth appointments for clients throughout Virginia. The practice specializes in evidence-based modalities including EMDR therapy, neurofeedback, somatic work, and attachment-focused approaches. Specific service offerings include EMDR Intensives and the Safe & Sound Protocol, an auditory intervention developed to support nervous system regulation. The clinical philosophy described on the site emphasizes deep processing of underlying emotional and relational patterns, alongside practical nervous system regulation tools, rather than focusing only on surface-level symptom relief.
Presenting concerns addressed at the practice include anxiety, OCD, complex trauma, phobias, and childhood trauma. The practice positions its work as trauma-informed and oriented toward identifying and shifting root patterns that sustain distress over time.
Viola holds current EMDRIA (EMDR International Association) certification credentials, as indicated by certification badges displayed on the practice website. The practice also maintains a regional directory of EMDR therapists in the Shenandoah Valley and provides EMDR consulting services for other clinicians seeking to develop their skills in the modality.
Specific information about insurance acceptance, session fees, and payment options is referenced as available through the contact page but is not detailed in the main site content reviewed. The practice serves clients throughout Virginia, with in-person availability in Harrisonburg and virtual access statewide. Contact and scheduling details are available through the practice website. Harrisonburg, located in the Shenandoah Valley, is the primary in-person service area, while telehealth extends access to clients across the state. EMDR Intensives are structured as concentrated multi-session engagements that differ in format from standard weekly outpatient therapy. Viola’s EMDRIA certification and the regional EMDR therapist directory the practice maintains position Unhinged Healing as a resource within the broader EMDR clinical community in the Shenandoah Valley.
