Greetings. I understand how big of a step it can be to seek therapy support, so let me tell you how I can help. I provide telehealth therapy tailored to your needs. This can be with a goal to solve a current problem or to overcome a persisting barrier. I have over 25 years of experience working with individuals of all ages struggling with both mental health and substance abuse challenges. Let me walk with you on your journey of recovery.
As your therapist, I will always practice with a trauma informed approach. Many of our unwanted behaviors/thoughts are coping skills that served us in the past. Learning how to let go of those behaviors/thoughts and becoming the healthiest versions of ourselves is what I will help you do.
I encourage you to contact me with any questions you may have about therapy, or getting started, or about me. This is an important step you are taking, and I am proud of you. Take care and be well.
Call or Kathy Dodson now for a free 15 minute consultation - (703) 454-8371

I have experience working with individuals struggling with both mental health and substance use disorders in a variety of treatment settings. No matter what the situation, I always start where the individual is. I want you to feel comfortable with the therapy process and not feel rushed. Share only what you want, when you are ready. It's about establishing the relationship. It's about trust.
