Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Ashburn, VA

I work with adults who are ready to engage deeply in their healing and personal evolution. Many of my clients have spent much of their lives in caregiving roles: parents, adult children caring for aging family members, partners, healthcare professionals, teachers, therapists, or those who naturally take on the role of “the strong one.” While meaningful, these roles can also lead to overwhelm, burnout, and a pattern of overfunctioning that leaves little room for your own needs.

You may have already experienced therapy and are now seeking something more integrative; an approach that moves beyond coping into clarity, embodiment, and empowerment. Often, my clients come in recognizing that they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, and are ready to explore the patterns, beliefs, and internal narratives that have shaped that way of being.

In our work together, you are met with compassion as we uncover these patterns and begin the process of reconnecting you with your own needs, values, and inner authority. This is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself.

I provide psychotherapy using a personalized, trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow work, ecotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, guided meditation, breathwork, reflective writing, and ritual-based practices.

This is a space where your growth, healing, and wholeness are honored...a journey of uncovery, discovery, and love.

My home base is North Carolina. I serve clients in NC, NJ, VA, FL and CA.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.

I provide psychiatric medication management for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and mood‐related concerns.

I’m a bilingual therapist working with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support feel overwhelmed by overthinking, internal pressure, difficulty managing stress, and the uncertainty of what comes next.

In our work together, I focus on helping you make sense of what’s happening internally and develop practical ways to respond to stress and emotions. I integrate cognitive, somatic, and neuroscience-informed approaches to support both emotional and nervous system regulation.

I believe therapy should feel human. It can be structured but still fit your individual needs. I offer a space where you can show up as you are, while also doing meaningful work that leads to real shifts in how you experience and respond to life.

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

Kim Prager, Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker/Therapist, studied and trained at University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has 16 years of experience providing therapy to people from all walks of life, Most recently, she worked at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center's integrated executive medicine and oncology clinics.

She believes therapy is a place to be seen and heard and an opportunity for personal growth. Her approach is holistic and trauma informed, often with a focus on adjustment, interpersonal dynamics, grief, and loss.

She welcomes you to reach out to find a way to live more authentically, forge genuine connections, and prioritize value based goals that bring about positive change in your life.

I've built my practice around a simple but powerful idea: that understanding yourself — really understanding yourself — is one of the most transformative things a person can do. I specialize in supporting people through depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use, mood disorders, adjustment disorder, and end-of-life concerns. That last one might surprise you. End of life is one of the most profound and underserved areas in mental health, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside people and families navigating that terrain. Across all of my work, I bring an educational lens — I don't just want to help you feel better in the moment, I want to help you understand yourself well enough that you can keep growing long after our sessions end. My approach is grounded in CBT and mindfulness, and it reaches toward something bigger: the full picture of who you are — emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
