Dr. Thaddeus Garland

Psychiatrist

Virtual & in-person • Arlington, VA


I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.

Frequently asked questions

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond

Finding the right OCD therapist in Richmond starts with looking for a provider who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and a qualified provider can help determine whether it may be appropriate for your needs. Some providers also use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a combination of both. When reviewing a provider's profile, look for experience with the type of OCD symptoms you're dealing with — whether that's intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination concerns, or something else.

Richmond has a range of mental health providers, but not all therapists have specialized OCD training. A licensed professional counselor (LPC), licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), or psychologist with OCD experience can provide therapy, while a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help with medication management if needed. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match.

OCD therapy in Richmond can be expensive without insurance — but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session. This makes it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
