Sirena Pangelinan

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Richmond, VA


Sirena is an EMDR trauma therapist in Henrico, VA, who strives to support client’s ability to not only survive, but thrive. Her specialty areas include complex trauma, intergenerational trauma, substance use disorders, eating disorders, adult attachment disorders, and neurodivergence.

She values the role that attachment needs play within the clinical relationship, and utilizes "here-and-now" approaches to help individuals gain insight into how these dynamics impact their life relationships. Sirena believes that mental health symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg, and while she supports individuals in acquiring new skills to face life's challenges, she is also eager to address the core concerns that stand in the way of a sustainable and enduring recovery.

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.
