Thompson C. Ritchie
Psychologist, PsyD

My clinical interests include helping young adults, adults, parents, and couples manage the important emotions and relationships in their lives. I have much experience helping patients work through transitions in life, such as adjusting to college, overcoming career challenges, alleviating interpersonal struggles in relationships and marriages, and handling the joys and challenges of parenting. I have worked with patients from a wide range of backgrounds, and enjoy getting to know my patients individually, regardless of our cultural differences and similarities.

Welcome. I am glad you’re here. Finding a therapist is hard. I want to make it easy. When we feel stuck, burdened by unhealthy patterns, or are experiencing life transitions, we can feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed, and lost. You have come to the right place. Therapy is a tool, much like visiting a doctor for your physical health, that can help you get back on track. My style is warm, authentic, and non-judgmental. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment by listening closely and responding with compassion. I will give you plenty of space to share, explore, and deepen your insight.
Suzanne K Haddad

We all have complicated personal stories that have led us to where we are in life. Your unique thoughts, fears, desires and emotions can affect the quality of your daily experiences and cause you to repeat unhealthy patterns.

Seeking relief from unpleasant feelings like sadness, irritability, anxiety, depression, anger & grief? When you struggle emotionally, small things can require greater effort. You may have feelings or reactions you can’t explain that defy your best strategies for feeling better. Perhaps you find yourself repeating patterns of behavior you’re not proud of. Or lack interest in pursuits you once enjoyed. Maybe you envision a happier, more productive life but don’t know how to get it. Therapy can help you identify and harness your strengths while adapting and altering patterns that don’t serve you well.

Do you feel “stuck” in repeating patterns? Do you long for a change but can’t seem to make it happen? Or have you recently made a big transition and need help adjusting? Has trauma – either a one-time life event, or an ongoing stressful situation – stopped you from living fully? I help individuals and couples identify goals and the barriers to reaching them. With a collaborative and supportive approach you will find purpose, confidence, and belonging. My approach emphasizes self- determination and collaboration, drawing on evidence-based talk therapies and mind-body approaches like EMDR, mindfulness meditation, and yoga.
Brian Gill

You bring a desire to create change in your life and the willingness to explore how this may be possible. I am flexible on what you pay but not on the need for you to be committed to your own growth. Struggling with feeling stuck? Finding yourself repeating old patterns? Wanting to create change in your life? Then by all means give a call.

Sarafina Tabrum
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
Therapy offers a dedicated time for you to pause, see yourself, and remove some of the old layers of protection that no longer serve. Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues make it hard to see clearly and take the next step. It takes a lot of courage to say “I don’t want to live this way,” and get help to make a change. As your therapist, my goal is to help you create the life that you want to live by identifying areas of growth and building skills to solve the challenges that get in the way. I believe that change is possible and therapy can help.
Catherine Grothus
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CAC-I
Verified
I believe that each and every one of us has a truth, and that discussing those truths can be both a powerful and a painful experience. As a therapist, I am honored to help individuals uncover and rediscover what brings fulfillment, meaning, and connection with themselves and others.
Kaelin Perrin
Psychologist, PsyD
Verified
I adamantly believe that my job as a therapist isn’t to “fix” people, or to give advice, or to tell you what to do. My job is to help you untangle, and then, put the pieces together - to meet you exactly where you are while gently encouraging your growth - and to help you unlock your own wisdom and strength. I like to describe my process as having “one foot in and one foot out.” I have “one foot in” in the sense that I am right there with you, present with your emotions, seeking to deeply understand your experiences, while also keeping “one foot out” so that I’m able to offer new perspectives and help you through your struggles.

If you are in a proactive self-seeking stanz, I can help you discover the panacea for which your heart has always desired. Thank you for considering me to be apart of your journey. I look forward to meeting you.

Feeling alone or like someone else wouldn't understand? I'm here to listen. Finding a therapist with whom you connect with can be hard. My approach is affirming, warm, and down to earth. I will provide a compassionate space for you to explore your story, feelings, and what ways of coping that are no longer serving you. I specialize in working with young adults, college/graduate students, and the LGBTQ+ community. I can help you explore past relational and behavioral patterns in a non-judgmental, empathic way that will help you to make intentional changes.
Cara Marie Curcio
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW
Verified
Whatever your reason for seeking therapy is—whether it is an addiction, depression, anxiety, body image issues, gender identity—I work to collaboratively get to the root of it to help increase insight about patterns that are playing out in your life. I have a background as a yoga practitioner and teacher so I also work to use mindfulness and meditation in sessions where appropriate. I work to individualize each therapy relationship, using psychodynamic principles, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy to guide my interventions.
Sara Battista
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
Verified
Entering therapy is an empowering experience, which is most effective when working with the right therapist. I offer an accepting environment that promotes authenticity without fear of judgement. I have an inclusive, collaborative counseling style, and strive to support clients of all genders in creating value-consistent, goal-directed change. My approach varies based on what my clients bring into the room. I choose my interventions with intention and thoughtfulness-- but also value the art of spontaneity versus a "one size fits all" model. When working with me, clients can expect a combination of support, challenges, and humor.
Nancy Pentz
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LICSW, CAC, CEAP
Verified
Are anxiety, anger, alienation, sadness or confusion causing you to feel overwhelmed trapped or hopelessly thwarted in reaching your goals? Or do you feel a deep longing for change? The call to deepen your understanding of yourself, of others and your situation is often signaled by negative thoughts, painful feelings, or a work or relationship crisis. The opportunity to talk with someone who is accepting and takes a practical approach restores hope, rekindles desire, resolves conflict, and directs the flow of energy towards positive movement.
Active Psychotherapy Services
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPC
Verified
I have an extensive and unique clinical experience with more than 15 years in inpatient and outpatients settings. I have helped many individuals with assorted emotional problems, including PTSD, mood and adjustment disorders, grief, anger, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder. I also serve as a mental health consultant for childhood and early childhood programs in Fairfax where I provide play therapy for young children with emotional and behavioral problems and parents' consultations.
Christine Miller
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, TCTSY-F
Verified
I focus on creating a safe and collaborative relationship. I base my work in the belief that we are affected by relationships- how we relate to others, our world, and our self. When we feel a safe connection in these areas, there seems to be more peace in the present. We may tend to feel more resilient when facing stress and change. When we feel disconnected, parts of us can feel stuck in anger, fear, criticism, or sadness. Our emotional well-being and relationships may become distressed. Therapy can be a way to navigate painful emotions, connect more deeply, and awaken qualities of confidence, creativity, and compassion.
