Sierra Dayton, LPC
“I am here to walk beside you, to help you uncover that light, nurture it, and let it grow—so you may rise with strength, reclaim your truth, and illuminate the dawn of healing.”
Counselor
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia with a Master’s of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William & Mary. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating eating disorders, borderline personality disorder, chronic illness, and neurodivergence, with a focus on Autism and ADHD.
I specialize in working with individuals who feel weighed down by fear, those trapped in the silence of loneliness, disordered eating, or the ache of abandonment—to those whose hearts feel heavy, whose hope feels distant, or who simply long for someone to truly see them. I want you to know your pain is valid. I believe there is a light that leads to healing, wholeness, and love. That light has always lived within you, even in your darkest moments. I am here to walk beside you, to help you uncover that light, nurture it, and let it grow—so you may rise with strength, reclaim your truth, and illuminate the dawn of healing.
Recovery can feel overwhelming—but you don’t have to do it alone. My practice is grounded in compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, offering a safe, supportive environment where healing can begin.
My approach is neuro-affirming and gender-affirming, grounded in the belief that each person’s experiences and identities deserve respect, understanding, and individualized care. I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and foster a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, validating, and empowering—where clients can explore challenges at their own pace while working toward meaningful, sustainable change.
