Therapists in McLean, VA

I offer a safe and welcoming environment, which I believe can happen as authentically online as in person. I help create a space where you can reflect on what brought you into therapy and develop a vision of hope for your future. I have worked in a variety of practice settings for over 20 years which enables me to tailor your specific treatment to the level of care you need. Ultimately, my goal is to help you develop a deeper sense of self-understanding and a greater capacity for self-compassion. By understanding the root causes of your challenges, we can work together to cultivate lasting change and growth.

Welcome to my practice and thank you for your interest in my work. My goal is to ensure that you receive quality care in a confidential and therapeutic environment.

It is my goal to work collaboratively with you to ensure optimal health and wellness.

As a lifelong resident of Northern Virginia, I have been serving the mental health needs of McLean for nearly 20 years. Have you tried everything and continue to remain stuck? Whether you are struggling with imposter syndrome, stress + overwhelm, persistent anxiety, or a chronic feeling of emptiness that something is missing in your life - it is time for a breakthrough! My therapeutic approach is specifically tailored to the client based upon their unique life story. Please visit my website, www.andreaandersonlpc.com for further information.

Are you feeling stuck, irritated, tired & without a path forward? Maybe you are dealing with complex trauma like childhood abuse or religious harm, or a single traumatic event like a car crash or assault. You are suffering- it is confusing & painful. You do not have to suffer alone any longer.

Life is made up of transitions, some expected and some unexpected. Responding to these transitions can often be challenging and result in unwanted feelings or symptoms. My approach to treatment is to work collaboratively with you to understand your concerns, the underlying precipitants, and build upon your strengths to develop strategies to overcome and manage these challenges. I cannot overestimate the power of really listening and providing a safe space for you to express your concerns, however awkward, uncomfortable, or upsetting. I strongly believe that everyone has the capacity to change and instilling hope is integral to that change.

Thank you for visiting! I create a space of safety and security so you can explore what is blocking your ability to enjoy and embrace your life. We work together to create or recreate new perspectives. If you are in a state of depression or anxiety or reliving past traumas, we can discover methods unique to your needs that help you move out of fear. Our goal is to help you reconnect with your best self, to be centered in self, feel empowered to make the best choice for your wellbeing.

Hope+Wellness is a psychotherapy practice based on our philosophy that hope can be found even in the most difficult seasons of life.

Accepting new clients! I work with couples, individual adults, and adolescents 15+ who are experiencing individual, relational and communication challenges. Stressors I work with include work-life balance, family stress, communication issues, parental-teen conflict, anxiety, trauma, stress, bullying, grief, identity, & adjustment challenges. I work with you to build inner strength and awareness, to grow personally, and to thrive interpersonally. I help you better understand what's happened to you, how to identify your blind spots, and to manage your personal + professional challenges in a way that is helpful and rewarding.

Being a young adult or teenager comes with challenges that previous generations struggle to understand. Maybe you're experiencing stress from a difficult life transition or finding where you fit in our rapidly changing world. Therapy can help you navigate these challenges, and I'd love to help make the process more approachable, even if this is your first time pursuing therapy. We'll discuss concrete ways to reach your mental health goals, and enjoy the confidence that comes with deeper self-knowledge. You're worth investing in, life is too short to be spent wishing things were different.

Are you feeling stressed, sad, anxious or alone? For many of us our world has changed significantly in the past couple of years. Whether you are trying to navigate new transitions, or just trying to figure out how to stay grounded in these uncertain times, I offer virtual therapy sessions to help. Clients I have worked with describe me as warm, compassionate, funny and wise. As a therapist with over 17 years of training and experience, I team with you to learn new ways of looking at current challenges and consider how you can let go of old patterns that are not serving you well.

There are many reasons why you may be seeking help at this particular time in your life - struggles with depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), low self-esteem, a painful loss, grief, difficulties in relationships, or other challenging life transitions. I work with patients to break free of roadblocks that have kept them stuck and to cultivate stronger relationships, feel less alienated and alone, and more empowered and confident.

If your life had a resumé, “chameleon” would be at the top. You’re so good at figuring out others’ needs, they’d never suspect that you have them too. If you were honest with yourself, though, you’d admit how stressful it is to live for other people. You’re terrified you’ll lose relationships if you speak up or say no. Your energy is drained or you feel resentful. You’re exhausted from wondering if others like you or approve of you. If you make choices that disappoint others, you feel guilty and selfish. Your whole identity is about pleasing others, & you want to feel comfortable being your authentic self, but you have no idea how.

Mental health is a vital component of our overall well-being. We all face struggles at some point in our lives. If you have made the decision to seek counseling, you are already one step closer to becoming the best version of yourself. As a licensed psychotherapist, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where my clients can begin to heal and learn to live healthier, happier, and balanced lives.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents. I treat a wide variety of mental health concerns, with expertise in working with challenging and difficult to treat youth with a broad range of complex emotional and behavioral issues, including mood, anxiety, anger, defiance, ADHD, trauma, self-harm, and substance use. I also specialize in working with young adults and adults struggling with mood, depression, anxiety, while navigating various life transitions, stressors, and adjustment concerns.

I enjoy working with high achievers who are navigating the vicissitudes of life; people who want to understand themselves better; and people who, at their core want to grow in consciousness and heal heart-breaking experiences. I believe that we are spiritual beings having human experiences. The journey in consciousness involves the healing of the heart, soul, mind, and body. Such healing and integration serve to illuminate our genuine selves and brighten our inner spiritual light; a light that illuminates our true selves as soul, and by extension, our unique creativity, work, and contributions to the world.

Finding a therapist who understands your unique experience is essential. My style is welcoming, empathic, goal-focused, and interactive. With a warm and supportive approach allowing clients to speak openly, we'll identify your challenges, develop personal goals, find methods to cope with overwhelming emotions, and define practical strategies to work through obstacles. My approach is to understand and tailor my practice to what works best for you. We are on this journey together, and I'm humbled by the people I work with and the trust they have placed in me.
