Welcome to Cypress Counseling
Cypress Counseling is a naturally empathic therapy practice for children, adolescents and adults. We believe that people are naturally zestful and filled with joy for life, and that the natural relationship between any two human beings is loving affection, communication and cooperation.
Therapy can be a safe and supportive place for you to explore who you are and the challenges you may be experiencing. We offer compassionate and confidential services in the heart of Richmond, Virginia.

About Jackson Ward
The entire Jackson Ward Historic District is only one of two districts that are National Historic Landmarks in the City of Richmond. This formal recognition of its national significance stems from the importance of Jackson Ward in African American history.
In 1769 William Byrd III subdivided the area encompassing present-day Jackson Ward into 100-acre "out lots." Richmond grew toward this area in the early 19th century, and a diverse group of "Free Persons of Color," European immigrants, American- born white artisans, and Richmond businessmen bought lots and built homes in these outlying subdivisions.
Jackson Ward became the largest African American community in Richmond and a nationally important center of African American economic and cultural activity. The neighborhood was home to such distinguished African Americans as Maggie Lena Walker, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, the famous actor and dancer.
