I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in individual and family therapy. She is a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) and a Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider (CSOTP). I am also certified in Eye Movements Desensitization & Reprocessing. I am currently serving as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. My areas of expertise are addictions, co - occurring disorders, post- separation abuse, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sexual behaviors, conduct disorders and oppositional disorders.

Beyond my credentials, I believe it’s important for clients to know that I value authenticity and connection. I bring warmth, compassion, and a grounded presence into sessions. I also have a love for travel, music, theatre, and dogs—parts of who I am that help me stay connected to creativity, joy, and balance in life.

Overall, clients can expect a therapist who is experienced, direct yet compassionate, and deeply committed to supporting their healing and growth.

Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 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.

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.

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 McLean

Finding the right therapist in McLean, VA starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or a life transition, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. McLean and the surrounding Northern Virginia area — including Tysons, Vienna, and Falls Church — have a large number of practicing therapists, which means more options but also more to sort through.

As you compare providers, consider what matters most: their clinical specialty, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their approach aligns with your preferences. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and background before you reach out. A free phone consultation, when available, is another way to gauge fit before committing to a session.

Therapy in the D.C. metro area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. Many patients pay as low as $0 per session when they see an in-network provider. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in McLean who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
