Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • 1.6 mi away • Arlington, VA


I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in anxiety, or repeating patterns in relationships that you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

With over 25 years of experience, I work with adults, teens, and couples to better understand what’s driving their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—and how to create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is tailored to you: supportive and collaborative, while also gently challenging you to grow, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.2 mi away • Tysons, VA


Because we are a Relational & Experiential center. Relational psychotherapy is an integrative form of therapy, born from a combination of several therapeutic theories and practices. In the 1980s a shift occurred in the practice of therapy, in that it moved away from simply exploring inner experiences (intrasubjective) and toward greater understanding of the impact of relationships on individual experiences (intersubjective). Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, and grown to become a widely used theoretical base.

The focus is on a person’s relationships/environment and the impact they can have on his/hers emotional and mental wellness (combination of nature and nurture). That is why we offer help beyond talk therapy and behavioral modalities. We are trained in brain changing therapeutic approaches based on the latest neuroscience information to rewire your brain and achieve long term healing and benefits when traditional therapy isn’t enough: EMDR, IFS, Adult Attachment Therapy, Imago, Somatic Intervention, Intuitive Eating...

Ask for more information to see which one is the best for you.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Fairfax, VA


Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

  • Certified Clinical Traumatologist
  • Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
  • Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington

Finding the right therapist in Arlington, VA starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Arlington is home to therapists trained in a range of approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and couples therapy — so you have options to find someone whose style fits how you prefer to work.

Beyond specialty and approach, practical details matter too. Consider whether you want to meet in person at an office near Ballston, Clarendon, or Crystal City, or whether virtual sessions fit your schedule better. Look at a provider's availability, read their bio to understand how they work, and take advantage of free phone consultations when they're offered. These steps can help you feel more confident before your first session.

Therapy in the D.C. metro area can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Arlington who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
