Ive had the pleasure of working with Deidre as a therapist for several years. We were on the same team and shared several clients. Deidre did fantastic work, with some very complicated cases. She is both skilled and talented, and takes initiative in learning new, evidence-based interventions and approaches.She was always prepared and professional, and brought an obvious compassion to her work with clients. She is very knowledgeable about resources in the greater RVA area, which is a real bonus. Shes also really easy to be around and has a disarming, friendly and open personality. I cant recommend Deidre Sledge highly enough.

UMFS contacted Whole Journey Services, Dr. Vanessa Dominguez, to provide a training for the Resource Parents on Change. Well, Dr. Vanessa was absolutely fabulous. She delivered a training that was informative, sensitive to the needs of the families, and on point for the current times we are facing. Dr. Vanessa was thorough and made the families feel comfortable to share their struggles as she delivered the training. As a social worker myself, I found the training to be dynamic and invigorating. I learned something new on the cycles of change. So informative, so passionate, and so on point. I highly recommend this training for anyone experiencing change during these unpredictable times. Contact her at Whole Journey Services, You will be glad you did. Awesome experience. The parents were so grateful for the information.

Deidra Sledge, MSW is a passionate mental health professional that is dedicated to improving the quality of life of the youth, families, and individuals that she serves. She meets her clients where they are and creates a safe space for healing and personal growth.

Whole Journey Services offers a great team of experienced therapists to choose from, they are warm and welcoming and give excellent feedback and guidance. Their online counseling is extremely effective -I I highly recommend Whole Journey Services.

Deidre Sledge is a pillar in the field of Social Work. Having known her for 5+ years, I can confidently say she is passionate about mental health, therapy and advocacy for those that are disadvantaged and marginalized. Her commitment to the Social Work profession is reflected in her everyday efforts to not only help those she serves but in her dedication to continue her personal development.

I love this place. They have lots of services that I’m looking forward to using. I’ve seen one of the counselors, Nikissia, three times (more to come!) and it’s been an extremely positive experience. I can really trust her, and she offers a lot of powerful insight. I can’t recommend her and Whole Journey enough!!

Great staff and true meaning of a whole journey as the services are not limited to talk therapy
