Ethan Kaste

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

Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 20 mi away • Centreville, VA


I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.

My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.

Virtual & in-person • Fredericksburg, VA


I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.

You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.

With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.

Find the right couples therapist for you

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

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Arlington, VA

Finding couples therapists in Arlington starts with clarifying what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy or couples counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in working with couples, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples-focused approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.

Arlington couples counseling also depends on finding one therapist whose location, schedule, and style work for both partners. You may want an office near home, work, or transit, or you may prefer virtual appointments that make it easier to attend from different places. As you compare therapists for couples therapy in Arlington, review availability, session structure, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their communication style and experience with relationship counseling.

Couples therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who provide couples therapy in VA and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific region and plan. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review therapist bios and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
