Therapists in 22030

I am the President & Clinical Director of Well Marriage Center, LLC. Couples counseling is my specialty and what I offer exclusively. For over 35 years I've helped couples change the trajectory of their relationship with counseling and coaching techniques that heal trust, rekindle intimacy, and increase the positive aspects of your relationship. I listen intently but don't only listen; you get my thoughts, ideas, suggestions and feedback every step of the way. I'm active with you in this process.

I am available for tele-therapy sessions at this time using a secure platform. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Virginia for 20 years, I attend to many areas of mental health including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career problems, grief, trauma, and life phases that are challenging. I have a collaborative, pragmatic, respectful counseling style that promotes self reflection, understanding and tolerance.

Throughout our lives we find ourselves in times of uncertainty or times when much is asked of us. How we respond to such moments will define how we think of ourselves in the time ahead. While there may be a natural inclination to turn away from the moment and think only, "This too shall pass", just how it will pass has a great deal to do with the thinking one does and the actions one takes. Therapy should provide a better understanding of who we are and why we act as we do. Therapy works best when it is to the point, clear, and practical.

I am trained and certified in many clinical interventions that allows for an integrative approach. I incorporate skill building, trauma interventions, behavioral modification, resourcing, and collaborative work with others to provide the most effective results possible. Previous settings include: inpatient, outpatient, schools, home based therapy, sexual assault services, respite care, family services, emergency/crisis intervention and community mental health.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, experiencing low self-esteem, struggling with life transitions or an eating disorder? I am passionate in working with teens, college students and adults. I strive to empower those with a willingness to change. Therapy is a journey and my job is to help you acknowledge your successes and accompany you through those moments where you feel stuck, because you do not have to go at it alone.

When everyday life gets you down, sometimes asking for help can be the hardest. I see therapy as a journey that we take together; providing trauma inform care, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic, substance abuse treatment, and support for growth and change.

Are you tired of not living up to your potential? Are situations from your past not allowing you to live in the moment or prepare for your future? Do you feel misunderstood and unappreciated? Do you want to learn to value "you"? You are an unique individual, and you deserve therapy that is tailored to your specific needs. I will work with you to try to help you achieve your goals and address your concerns in a manner that is effective for you within a warm and nonjudgmental atmosphere. We will work as a team as you are the expert on you!

If you're here, you're likely having difficulty coping with something in your life, such as relationships, overwhelming anxiety, or unresolved issues from your past. Do you find yourself overthinking and worrying constantly? Do you feel like you are not enough? Do you feel guilty about being irritable with your loved ones? Are you struggling to find meaning and happiness in life? In a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I can help you find your authentic self and facilitate change and healing so that you can create or rediscover meaning and purpose in your relationships and life.

I graduated from the University of Gdansk, Poland (B.A. Psychology), and obtained a Master's in professional counseling from Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia. I am licensed to provide professional counseling independently in Arizona, South Carolina, Virginia, and Texas. I have experience working with individuals from various backgrounds and providing therapy in English and Spanish. Treatment is about finding hope despite the circumstances. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who treats children (ages Zero+), teens, and adults.

I specialize in psychological evaluations for immigration cases. These include extreme hardship waivers, cancellation of removal waivers, as well as asylum, VAWA, and U & T visa cases. My approach is to work closely with clients and their attorneys to provide a thorough evaluation process in a safe and welcoming environment. I offer thorough, professional evaluations and a quick turnaround time. My carefully detailed reports address the biggest, most important questions about your case.

Life can be so overwhelming sometimes. What does it take to keep moving forward? I've been there before too. Counseling is my second career. After attending the University of Virginia for my undergrad, I moved to Madrid, Spain. I worked there for three years serving immigrants and refugees. I learned a lot through these cross-cultural experiences. I heard many stories and started adding formative chapters to my own story. These experiences led me to my own counseling. In processing my story, I discovered the power of counseling.

I believe that at various times in life everyone experiences a challenge, when their way of coping isn't working the way it usually does. I am passionate about supporting people who are committed to improving their lives. I have a solution focused approach and integrate alternative treatment options. I work with anyone from ages 5 and up, with 15 years of experience. I work with a lot Mothers and children who are adjusting to the changes in day to day life. I own a business with additional therapists, I can connect you with someone in my practice who specializes in other areas.

I've been a licensed clinical psychologist since 1994, and have counseled people with a wide range of life challenges, including: anxiety, stress, depression, self-image, men's issues, having a family member with special needs, spirituality, and major life transitions. I employ an individualized blend of therapeutic skills, to explore your life challenge through compassionate listening and meaningful interaction, with the goal towards deeper understanding which guides effective action planning and follow-through.

Taking the step to reach out for help can be the hardest step in your mental health journey, so I am so glad you are here! I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings. I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment that encourages growth and healing. I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey towards wellness.

Do you feel like you've "checked all the boxes" yet something is still missing? Are you a high achiever, doing all the right things, yet find yourself still struggling to feel fulfilled? I am a therapist who helps teens and adults struggling with understanding themselves and those with trauma histories to build self-trust to feel more peaceful and live more authentically. I strive to provide a safe, warm, and even fun environment where you can feel understood and challenged to create positive change in your life.

What do YOU need? This is the deceptively simple question which I ask my clients almost every session. What would change if you asked yourself that simple question more often? This is an example of some of the foundational work which I'll infuse into our sessions. I LOVE what I do and am so honored to be a part of your life! My goal as your therapist is to encourage, support, empower, and listen. I view therapy as a true partnership where you're not alone while you navigate the 'messy middle' of life in these uncertain times. I work solely virtually after getting positive feedback from busy clients who appreciate this convenience.

People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with fourteen years of experience. My counseling approaches and interventions include person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma informed care, and more. I specialize in working with addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and mood disorders. I encourage my clients to define their success and progress by setting goals and defining what progress looks like for them. I will be that support and guidance on their path toward growth.

Have you been feeling stuck? Anxious? Maybe you have been feeling a little down or out of sorts. Has there been less interest in the things you enjoy? Or maybe you have been a bit overwhelmed or irritable and feeling disconnected. I am here to help by using a compassionate, open-minded approach to provide you with the assistance and support you need to help with depression, anxiety, stress and life events. I understand the value of having a healthy body, a clear mind, and a strong spirit.
