Therapists in 22030

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face… You must do the thing you think you cannot do.” - Eleanor Roosevelt. As a dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience, my primary goal is to provide individuals with an environment that nurtures authenticity and personal growth. Clients seeking my guidance desire to be challenged and to actively work towards tangible, transformative goals. I aim to address the potential challenges of therapy with transparency and safety essential for self-exploration.

Life is too short to live in constant anxiety and mentally beating ourselves up. My goal is to help people build more self-compassion and self-confidence to regain control of their mental health and lives. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies, but there is no benefit to something we unconsciously do on a daily basis. So why do we do it? Let's explore some of those reasons together and identify steps to take to address this emotionally draining behavior.

So many of us present a high-functioning face to the world, but our inner lives tell a different story. Depression, anxiety, and other issues are natural byproducts of the stressful lives we lead. I work with adults, teens (16 and older), couples, and families, ranging from adolescents facing developmental struggles to stay-at-home parents and Beltway professionals. As a native Northern Virginian, I can relate to the challenges of living in this frenetic environment. My previous military and consulting experience give me an understanding of issues that busy professionals deal with like self-care and work-life balance.

Are you the parent of a child or teen struggling with social, emotional, behavioral, academic or family issues? I am a licensed Psychiatric Clinical Nurse Specialist with 20+ years of experience helping families effectively deal with all matter of challenges. As a counselor-therapist, I will use your strengths, interests and talents to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your (child's) needs. I will also involve your family in the treatment process when indicated, an important factor in the most successful treatment outcomes. NOTE: I AM NOT A PSYCHIATRIST AND DO NOT PRESCRIBE MEDICATIONS .

Working with youth and adolescents is my passion as they embark on the arduous journey of self-discovery. During this process many youth and teens experience issues such as: oppositional behavior, emotional deregulation and expression, transitional challenges (autism, LGBTQ, school related issues, blended family), anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD/ADD, trauma, destructive behaviors and detachment issues from their surroundings, drug and alcohol abuse and dependency. In working with this clientele I utilize an authentic Cognitive Behavioral approach that integrates behavioral modification techniques promoting empowerment, motivation, self-confidence, self-awareness, and encourages personal responsibility, and growth in all stages of development.

I am committed to helping people - especially those with depression, anxiety, and eating disorders - understand themselves better so they can achieve a greater sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in life. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to reduce symptoms, develop healthy relationships, improve communication, and support self-realization. I believe that a safe, trusting, and collaborative relationship with a therapist can help people learn new ways of being that provide benefits throughout their lives.

I love what I do! I get to help you turn your insights into action for addictions, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. We may use individual, family, or group therapy, relapse prevention, education, medication, or MAT/MOUD. Our Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program is for people struggling with both a mental health and drug/alcohol issue. We know that recovery does not always mean abstinence. Take the Alcohol Moderation Assessment to help you determine your relationship with alcohol and learn how to get your life back in balance.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant, and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) with over 25 years experience working with youth & adults in a wide variety of settings across the treatment continuum. I started our practice, Tranquil Mind Therapy, LLC in 2016, and we have 5 talented therapists providing general and trauma therapy for clients of all ages, from children to older adults! We partner with clients to process and heal from past and present wounds, achieve balance & resilience, & address various challenges with empowering solutions in a warm, safe, confidential therapeutic space.

I am currently not accepting new clients. I am a licensed professional counselor and registered play therapist working in my own practice with children, teens, and adults. While the work we do is serious, I provide a comfortable environment filled with light, humor, and genuine positive regard. I offer a lively and interactive experience regardless of your needs. I am trained in several models, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), play therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS); however, I believe a solid therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth and change.

I specialize in PTSD. I am Trauma-Informed and EMDR-informed. We will be a team in your treatment process. I work with adults, couples, and families and have extensive experience with adolescents. Whether it's a couple's communication issues, an out-of-control teenager, anxiety, depression, or significant trauma history, we are a team. Together there are endless opportunities to live your best life. Let's get started today.

It's not often people get to say how much they enjoy their work, but I do. As the co-founder of Insight Into Action Therapy, I get to meet fascinating people and assist them as they navigate through tough times. I do so through individual and family therapy. In addition, I facilitate several groups, primarily our Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program which is designed to help individuals with co-occuring substance abuse and mental health problems. Besides therapy, I provide community educations and lectures on various topics impacting individuals and the society as a whole.

Are you or your child/teen having issues with attention/executive functioning (i.e., time management, organization, task completion)? Having trouble staying focused, being organized, motivated, or often becoming anxious? Struggling to get homework or work tasks completed? Feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, or on edge frequently? If so, I am able to assist by providing therapy, ADHD/executive functioning coaching, and/or assessment services in order to identify difficulties and work collaboratively to help you or your loved one thrive in life.

The journey towards healing is a path marked by resilience and courage. It is one of self-discovery, growth, and transformation—a voyage of understanding and mending wounds, both seen and unseen. My name is Jackie, and I am here, ready and willing to walk beside you on this meaningful journey towards healing. I am a trauma-informed board certified art therapist and licensed professional counselor with over 13 years of clinical and supervisory experience. I integrate art therapy, sand tray therapy, and IFS into my practice. As such, I am dedicated to a therapeutic intervention that is rooted in nurturance and creative expression.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP), and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with 25 years of experience committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults learn how to achieve their potential.

Welcome, and thank you for considering me as a therapist to partner with you on your therapy journey! Taking the first steps to change your life can be challenging and, at times, a bit scary. I can relate to and understand how taking those initial steps to start a new journey can be uncomfortable. I can relate to and understand how taking those initial steps to start a new journey can be uncomfortable.

Working with a psychotherapist in individual therapy can be the key in generating positive change and real growth. Devoted to providing therapy to individuals, couples and families of all ages and populations, I have numerous years of experience in a variety of settings including private practices in the Northern VA area, substance abuse treatment centers and most recently, the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB). I have a personal interest in working with severe-mental illness and running Dialectal Behavior Therapy Groups.

Many times we struggle with stress, overwhelming experiences, and disturbances in personal identity. We are confronted with situations in which our past experiences strongly affect our reactions, behaviors, and emotional state. Anxiety, depression, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, and negative behavior patterns have the potential to challenge us and impede emotional growth. I believe that individuals have the ability to implement and follow through on necessary change. Through self-examination and the therapeutic process, we will begin to evolve and create a healthy life narrative.

Whether you’re looking to improve your relationships, emotional wellbeing, or find help for specific life challenges, therapy is a great place to start. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have direct training and experience working with family and relationship issues, as well as working with individuals.

We create our reality, individually and collectively, by what we think, what we say, and what we do. As a psychotherapist, I work with my clients to develop improve life skills to develop a greater sense of well-being and live a more productive life. I am dedicated to helping my clients live a more authentic life by building creativity, consciousness, community, and connection.
