Bisexual Therapists in Fairlington-Shirlington, Arlington, VA

Innercalm is a safe and welcoming space for individuals to explore their innermost thoughts and emotions, allowing them to find peace and clarity within themselves. Through a combination mindful walking, somatic and attuning to nature practices, clients are able to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, true self and spiritual wellbeing. The hope is to help clients navigate through life's challenges and stresses, promoting self-awareness and personal growth. I use expressive art, nature and walking to foster an environment where clients are able to delve into their inner world and uncover the root causes of their struggles.

Relationships are a dual edged sword. When healthy, they are one of our greatest sources of strength. They provide a sense of comfort, joy, opportunities for growth, connection, and support. When broken or non-existent, they leave us feeling anxious, down, detached, and alone.

I have over 30 years of clinical experience with individuals, couples, and group psychotherapy. I now see primarily individuals in my practice. I encourage clients to become more aware and accepting of their feelings and thoughts. This honesty and self-acceptance creates more clarity and more options for making desired changes, improving relationships, and feeling more expansive. I have an interactive style, I sometimes use humor, and clients tell me they feel safe and supported. Therapy is work, but can be very rewarding for both client and clinician. I also offer billing services to your insurer for your convenience.

Life can quickly become overwhelming and difficult to manage at times. Thankfully, you never have to be alone in navigating these experiences. Through the therapeutic process, we can work together to explore the challenges you're facing. Whether you're unsure about your career, who you are in the world, or how to manage daily stress - we'll tackle it together. During our time, I will work to understand you in the present and where you'd like to be in the future. Through the therapeutic relationship we can work towards your goals, develop a better understanding of self, and how to appropriately cope with life stressors.

You are struggling. Maybe this is something you have grappled with for a long time, or maybe this is something that you have recently found yourself struggling with? Maybe this is about changes in your outside world, your internal world or both? You have already tried to address this, but it is still a problem. We will work together to identify and explore your behaviors, beliefs, feelings, and thoughts that have become problematic for you, As you gain more insight into yourself you will be better able to make more deliberate choices rather than fallback on your old ways of being, ways that probably worked well in your past.

Each of us is here with a unique gift to be named, claimed and celebrated. That gift is often hidden due to trauma and heartache. My work helps you discover and release whatever prevents the full expression of your power and joy, which resets an inner compass to your highest destiny. Trama informed transformational psychotherapy reconnects you with the exquisite wisdom of your Soul, and helps you co-create the life you deeply desire. I work with individuals, as well as couples who want to create a fulfilling and passionate relationship.

Hello! I specialize in treating adolescents, young adults, and adults experiencing phobias, OCD, and other anxiety disorders. I also work with individuals struggling with eating disorders, using a team-based treatment approach that often includes the client's family and other medical providers. My clients want to take back their lives and their health, and get back to doing the things they used to love without fear and rigid rules.

Do you love your partner yet hate your recurring conflicts? You ask yourself “why” only to come up empty-handed, or blaming your partner. It is not a mystery. A tandem approach to relationship conflict management and resolution is in order: effective communication leading to understanding and conflict management through principled collaborative negotiation. You and your partner are evolving beings. The resulting friction in the form of arguments/fights can be addressed by learning strategies to allow flexibility for growth while strengthening the foundation of your togetherness.

I believe that the ultimate goal of therapy is to alleviate pain and suffering, and that everyone has the capacity for growth and change. By developing a caring, empathic, and trusting relationship with my clients, it becomes possible to gain insight and clarity about relationships, problems and personal patterns. It is through this process that one can grow and realize a level of peace and acceptance. I also believe that genuine growth is only possible when I view the clients I work with through the lens of multiple personal identities (e.g., sexual orientation, gender) and cultural identities (e.g., race/ethnicity, religion). I am proficient in Mandarin and can understand 3 other Chinese dialects. Having lived in Asia a significant part of my life, I am familiar with Asian cultural issues.

For over 40 years, the Potomac Center, Inc. (PCI) has been helping Northern Virginia residents with counseling, psychological testing, family, marital and individual therapy services for all ages. We are a private practice with 14 Licensed Clinical therapists and one of the few practices that can offer a full array of mental health services under one roof, from therapy to testing.

It’s about helping people reaching their goals… We like to think we’re making a positive impact on the community and help people maneuver through their emotions productively.

I will work with you to increase insight into your struggles, actively identify and work toward goals, and build resilience against stress. While I enjoy practicing with a wide variety of issues and types of people, I specialize in relationships (straight and gay), young adults, LGBT concerns, couples, anxiety and depression, and life transitions and losses. Building insight involves examining ways one's past impacts the present. I believe that this coupled with making concrete changes in one's life leads to a successful therapy. I am an active psychologist who will help you make these changes thoughtfully and effectively.

Life can be difficult. If you feel like you're overwhelmed, stressed and anxious, and can't seem to find happiness, I'd like to help you find some balance in your life. Your willingness to explore your thoughts and feelings about yourself and unhappy situations can be extremely empowering. I work in a collaborative and interactive manner to help guide you toward two primary goals--first, to identify and resolve the immediate problems presented, and then to develop psychological tools that can be used after completion of the therapeutic sessions.

Over the past 15 years I have learned that the change process is collaborative and requires a unified focus between therapist and client. In therapy, the most positive outcomes occur when we develop a healthy therapeutic relationship and focus on the same goals. Building this relationship allows both therapist and client to feel comfortable while cultivating positive change. I practice from a wellness perspective that states everything we experience throughout our lives is a natural part of our development as individuals. I will meet you wherever you may be emotionally knowing that your life's journey has brought you to this place.

Accepting new clients! Welcome to my page. Do you feel suck in patterns you can't change? The most important part of counseling is the relationship between counselor and client. I foster that relationship by creating a collaborative, warm, and comfortable environment where you can focus on what you need to. Utilizing an open-minded approach, I address the whole person by using modalities of treatment that fit individual client needs. I see my role as your counselor is to give you the space to navigate through life's stressors, reprocess distressing experiences, and increase self-awareness.

Therapy is a space to develop strengths and resources, as well as examine problems and pain. Clients work on both their strengths and struggles in my practice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with twelve years of experience working in a variety of settings within the mental health field to include residential/educational programs for at-risk adolescents and in private practice working with individuals and families facing so many of life's challenges. I believe in working together to address the distress you're experiencing (depression, anxiety, trauma, or inter-personal issues) and to build resilience and restore hope.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you have a desire for change, but are unsure where to start? Let’s be honest for a moment. Life is hard. Sometimes we need extra support. My passion has always been to work with individuals seeking to live their best lives. I specialize in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, and pregnancy (perinatal, infertility, pregnancy loss and postpartum issues.) I have a special interest in women’s issues. I have had a corporate career, and particularly enjoy helping women navigate the challenges of balancing multiple roles and life transitions.

At Kindred Tree Healing Center, we provide holistic psychotherapy, yoga, reiki, and other healing based services. We help individuals overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and other life stressors. We operate from an attachment based lens, and are a social justice allied practice.

I provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, and transform their lives. Many of my clients come seeking clarity on why they feel the way they feel, why their actions aren’t aligning with the person they know they are, what’s getting in the way of their goals, and how they have established relationship patterns that do not serve them. I work with clients to create a space that invites creativity and curiosity to solve problems, alleviate symptoms, and look inward at how our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving may be constricting our freedom to achieve.

As a counselor, I believe my role is to help others tap into their own innate and powerful ability to heal. I support my clients in cultivating awareness around the connection between their bodies and minds. This leads to a deeper understanding of ourselves, how we relate to others and how and cope with daily life.
