Therapists for Teens in Aldie, VA

Do you or your child struggle with anxiety, extreme sadness, peer issues, or just simply the challenges of growing up? My name is Ashley Olson, and I come to this profession with a deep passion for helping children, adolescents, and teens navigate these issues and other complexities of life. I understand that growing up can be a tumultuous journey, and it is my mission to provide a compassionate and understanding space where you, your child or adolescent can thrive.

Hello, my friends, are you feeling a little down, or feeling overwhelmed? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost or in need of guidance. I have some openings and am looking to fill them. Sorry, I am an ONLINE therapist only, I find once people give it a try they don't mind it. If you want to try it, I offer a free 15 minute trial session. I work well with people who like to talk and find that is a part of their process. Do you find therapy too clinical and would like a little humor? I do my best to find that balance. If you just don't know what you need, I hope you will let me guide you to the right answer.

In my 13+ years of being a therapist I have found that the traditional face to face support works wonders for some, but is not a good fit for others. Some of my clients have found sitting in one place for 45 minutes a challenge, or feel too much pressure to truly open up and share what they are thinking and feeling. With this in mind, I hope that my practice will serve as a new space for people seeking support in a slightly different manner. I hope to use "walk and talk therapy" to give an outlet to those who would usually outright avoid counseling, or not fully invest as it doesn't work for them.

Feeling stuck? I can help. By using a collaborative approach I can help you determine what area of your life you wish to change. As a Personal Life Coach, we work together in identifying goals and shifting your perceptions in order to create positive changes. We work together in removing obstacles to help you accomplish and realize your dreams. In a supportive environment, we can work on a variety of issues. Whether you are feeling stuck, struggling with stress, having interpersonal relationship struggles, having marital or parenting issues, I give you my non-judgmental attention and will keep you focused on your goals.

Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging jobs that exists. I specialize in helping families thrive. I understand that this happens when parents and children enjoy strong, supportive and nurturing relationships.

It can be challenging and stressful to find a therapist and share your feelings with a stranger. I am committed to helping you be comfortable and validate your feelings to make this process easier. In my approach, I would like to explore the root of the problem and help you towards personal growth and healing. My focus would be to help you make healthy decisions through a new mindset which will help restore balance and freedom in your life.

I work with individuals, families and couples struggling with anxiety, affective disorders, anger issues, father - son relationships, oppositional behaviors, gender and sexual identity issues and developmental issues. I focus on the communication within relationships with emphasis on one's feelings, thoughts and behaviors.

Currently accepting new clients. I am a bilingual, Iranian-American, and a dedicated and compassionate licensed therapist with 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate life's challenges. I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, develop coping skills, and work towards personal growth and healing. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, meaning that I tailor my methods to meet each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from various evidence-based modalities to create a personalized treatment plan for each client.

Accepting New Clients. No one's path in life is the same and thus therapy, in my eyes, should not be a cookie cutter approach. Therapy should be tough but rewarding. I specialize in meeting clients where they are at and challenging them to move forward in their future. True growth comes from pushing past your comfort zone to come out stronger on the other side.

Are you struggling to change your patterns of alcohol or marijuana use, or do you have a loved one who is? I use a harm reduction approach to help clients explore their relationship with substances. We will work together to develop new skills and cultivate motivation to make difficult changes – whether that is practicing moderation, making safer choices, or eliminating substances from your life entirely. I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment as feeling supported is essential in productive therapy.

Feeling tired of your current therapist? Or just stuck? Let's get real – life can be tough. It’s especially hard on ambitious people, parents & perfectionists who are expected to have it all together. The more successful you are (or are expected to be), the more difficult it is to keep it all together. Add anxiety, depression, & relationship issues – forget it. And the more that you achieve, the harder it becomes to find a therapist at your level or solutions that work for your complex issues. But I'm not here to hand out generic advice or quick fixes. I'm here to help you uncover the root of your challenges & build lasting changes.

Have the events of your life or the world around you got you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or stressed? Is your inner critic getting louder? Are you finding yourself numbing out with food, alcohol, shopping or streaming? Are you longing for meaningful connection? You are not alone. Perhaps I can help. I am a BIPOC, LGBTQI+, and Disability affirming therapist. I offer brief, standard, and extended session lengths. I welcome an opportunity to collaborate with you as you bravely or not so bravely make your way in this world of ours. Questions? Please call or email. It's okay to reach out and ask for help.
