As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, but in the last few years, I have shifted my main focus to clients who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and stress management concerns. I also work with professionals who are looking for a safe place to address concerns that they may not always feel comfortable with sharing in their work environment.
“If you’re ready to heal, reduce stress, and rediscover your peace, you’re in the right place. Be intentional about your healing journey so you can live the life you deserve.”

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT ALONE
Life can become overwhelming in ways that are difficult to explain. You may be carrying stress that never seems to let up, struggling in relationships, grieving a loss, feeling disconnected, or finding that anxiety, panic or depression are making daily life more difficult than they once were.
Many people come to therapy after trying to manage things on their own for a long time.
Welcome! I'm David Caldwell, a psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker who works with adults, couples and families in Reston, VA.

Hi, I'm Josh. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and more than a decade supporting individuals in acute crisis situations. I earned my Bachelor's in Sociology from Virginia Tech, a Master’s in Social Work from Radford University, and a second Master’s in Aging and Health from Georgetown University.
Clients should know that I bring a deep commitment to meeting people where they are—emotionally, mentally, and situationally. I’ve worked in long-term care, acute crisis settings, and served as the director of a regional crisis response team. No matter the setting, I’m dedicated to treating people with respect, dignity, and compassion. I'm here to provide a sound board and assist in making meaningful changes for those I provide services for including those managing depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, or just need someone to talk to about everyday life issues we all experience. I also have a special passion for working with the aging population, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs honored.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding couples therapists in Charlottesville starts with naming what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication breakdown, recurring conflict patterns, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list training in approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy. Reading a therapist’s bio can help you see whether their experience matches the kind of support you and your partner are seeking.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, the local pool of couples therapists may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still allowing you to choose in-person care when location and schedule align. Since couples therapy requires one therapist who works for both partners, compare practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, session structure, and whether the therapist is accepting new clients. Some therapists also offer a brief initial consultation, which can help both partners assess fit before booking an ongoing session.
Couples therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who offer couples counseling in Charlottesville, review detailed profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, 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.
