Lavinia Hailey Garbee, M.Ed., L.P.C.

Lavinia H. Garbee has been in private practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor for over ten years. Since her graduation from University of Richmond in 1987, she has gained extensive experience working with children, teens, and families. Lavinia holds a Masters Degree in Counseling from Lynchburg College, and was voted Counselor of the Year by the Lynchburg Area Counselors Association in 2007. As co-owner of Wishing You Well Counseling Center, she enjoys the opportunities she has to work with all age groups. She also is pleased to have had the opportunity to share her skills by providing licensure supervision to several counselors.

While her experience and talents are varied, she is particularly passionate about her work with individuals with ADHD, children on the autism spectrum, “lippy” teenagers, and families who are seeking graceful divorce solutions. Trained as a Collaborative Divorce Coach and Child Specialist, she practices as part of the Virginia Collaborative Professionals of Lynchburg. Additionally, she has helped many young people learn to cope with and manage their ADHD using techniques she developed for her daughter, who also struggles with attention and concentration issues.

Despite a busy schedule at work, Lavinia is very invested in her family and community. A Lynchburg native, and the youngest of five children, she utilizes many of her own experiences and stories in her work as a counselor. Lavinia and her husband of 20 plus years live on a small farm with their two daughters and many four-legged critters. The Garbees also enjoy several “bonus children” who have come to share their lives. In 2005, Lavinia was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Instead of responding with fear, she has worked to raise awareness and funds to work towards a cure. “Attitude is everything,” says Lavinia. She strives to make this part of every aspect of her life. In her spare time, she enjoys time with her family, cooking, traveling, fitness, and engaging in new challenges and adventures.
