April Akers

April Akers

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


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.

I'm a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the general chaos that can come with being a human, especially during big seasons of change like parenthood, relationship shifts, graduations, or just feeling like you're not quite where you thought you'd be.

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.
