ADHD Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Warm Greetings! I am licensed as a Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I am bicultural and bilingual (Spanish/English) and am proud of my Latin heritage. I have strong ties to the Latino culture and am familiar with challenges immigrant populations face here in Northern Virginia related to acculturation and grief/loss. I have worked with families, children, adults for 20 years. I will work with you to support you in meeting your individualized goals.

The times we live in have brought incredible challenges, particularly for our teens and young adults. These challenges can leave us feeling heavily burdened, disoriented, and overwhelmed which can lead depression and anxiety symptoms. Recognizing and overcoming these challenges on our own can be difficult and sometimes prove unrealistic. I am passionate about helping teens, young adults, and families navigate these challenges to achieve happiness, confidence, and success.

Everyone needs a place for space. A space to be heard. A space to share whatever you want. A space to process feelings, try out new perspectives, laugh, cry, grieve, be angry, talk about betrayal, to fight inner demons, to be brave, to be nervous, to simply BE whoever you are. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing space for people to process whatever they are dealing with. People come to me with a wide range of different issues. I am an eclectic therapist but tend to focus on using cognitive behavioral therapy. I love to meet new people, and I would love to work with you.

I am still accepting new clients and am offering video sessions via Zoom or Doxy for clients who are distancing. I am a clinical psychologist specializing in psychological testing and assessment. My experiences enable me to listen, assess and diagnose a variety of psychological and educational issues. While I am psychological testing specialist, I also provide therapeutic services in which I encourage and support a variety of people. I use an integrative approach to therapy which allows me to tailor overall therapeutic goals as well as target each individual session to meet your needs at that point in time.

I specialize in psychological testing and evaluation of children, adolescents and adults to assess intellectual, educational, personality, emotional, and behavioral functioning. I offer ADHD , LD, GT (AAP), and ED evaluations for purposes of school placement, as well as special education services and accommodations, including on standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, LSAT, GRE, GMAT and MCAT. I provide forensic services which include court evaluations and child custody evaluations, and therapy services include individual, marital, and family therapy.

People come to therapy looking for solutions to real-world problems. My therapeutic approach is interactive, strength-based and practical. Using empathy, humor, and an objective perspective, I will collaborate with you to develop an effective, down-to-earth approach to your current life challenges, as well as long-standing personal concerns. My job is to assist you in using your own self-knowledge to draw on your unique strengths and personal resources to respond to your challenges. We'll work together to put problems into a workable perspective and to create a realistic plan for addressing those problems.

Many adults, teenagers, and even children fall into this state of loss, overwhelm, and anxiety, all because they've never been able to stick to anything, develop the right habits, or stop repeating the same mistakes. My mission is to help adults and teenagers change the behaviors and thoughts that make living with ADHD and Anxiety more difficult. With my help, you'll be able to control impulsive behaviors, erratic thoughts, and harmful mood swings that can undermine your progress.

Are you having trouble getting out of bed and lack energy in your day? Are you overwhelmed by persistent worries and fears about everyday life responsibilities? Do you often have intense emotions when you're angry that impact your relationships? Do you have difficulty communicating your thoughts, feelings, and needs to people? Are you consistently seeking validation from others? Do you feel stuck and hopeless? If you are saying yes to any of these questions, I can help you! I aim to provide a supportive, and safe space that promotes insight, and solutions that will help you to take steps towards taking control of your life!

I am accepting new patient for telehealth ONLY and am offering video sessions via Doxy.me. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. I'm trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and play therapy for issues ranging from anxiety and mood disorders to ADHD , autism spectrum and other behavioral disorders. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations and assessments to help develop a more clear mental health diagnosis. I earned my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Nova Southeastern University and my bachelors from Penn State University.

I value seeing growth in clients who feel stuck with Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and family/couple relationship challenges. Individuals who know life should be better but feel stuck and hesitant to change are clients who I really enjoy working with. If you're motivated and willing to put in the work both in session and out of session, we can help you build that life you've always wanted and deserved.

Are you or your child/teen having issues with attention/executive functioning (i.e., time management, organization, task completion)? Having trouble staying focused, being organized, motivated, or often becoming anxious? Struggling to get homework or work tasks completed? Feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, or on edge frequently? If so, I am able to assist by providing therapy, ADHD /executive functioning coaching, and/or assessment services in order to identify difficulties and work collaboratively to help you or your loved one thrive in life.

My 15 years of working with students and parents have given me a deep and personal understanding of how an ADHD or executive dysfunction (EF) diagnosis affects all aspects of a student's life. As a Certified Coach, there is nothing more satisfying to me than to see a student's self-esteem rise as he or she develops skills to overcome tremendous obstacles such as difficulty focusing, procrastination, disorganization, or the inability to set priorities. I am especially proud of my students who, as their confidence grew, became comfortable being their own advocate -- and the pride they felt at achieving such a major accomplishment!

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 19 years of experience specializing in the treatment of Panic Attacks, OCD, Generalized Anxiety, and ADHD using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I am licensed to practice in Virginia and in California. In my current work I have been collaboratively working with clients on issues related to OCD, major life adjustments, and identity exploration. I also provide in-person psychological testing.
