Our Approach to Counseling in Northern Virginia
If you often put others' needs before your own, you may feel tired all the time, invisible, or unsure of how to care for yourself. Our practice works with individuals who identify as empathetic, caring, and compassionate, often labeled "the responsible one" by family, friends, and coworkers.
Here you'll find support and a consistent, safe space where your needs matter just as much as the people you care for. Our therapists provide culturally sensitive counseling that honors your background, identity, and lived experience, whether you join us in person or online.
In-Person or Virtual Therapy: We Do It Both.
Our therapy office sits in the heart of the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, with easy access from Old Town Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax, and plenty of parking right out front. Prefer to meet from home? We offer secure virtual therapy for clients throughout Virginia, and you can switch between formats as your schedule changes.
