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.

Michelle Gorden

Therapist

Virtual • Chantilly, VA


Hi, I’m Michelle Gorden, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I’m passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and reconnect with the best version of themselves.

My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I specialize in working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional regulation difficulties.

In addition to my clinical work, my diverse professional and personal background allows me to connect with clients from many walks of life. I believe therapy should feel supportive, empowering, and collaborative — a place where you can feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Currently accepting clients in WA, VA, GA & MO.

I work with adults and children who feel stuck in anxiety, worry, overthinking, or feeling easily overwhelmed. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For adults, this can look like burnout, overanalyzing, and repeating patterns that are hard to break. For children, this often shows up as big emotions, shutdowns, defiance, school struggles, or not being able to explain what’s wrong. I have over 6 years of experience working with youth, including engaging kids ages 5–11 in telehealth (yes, even the ones who don’t want to talk). My style is warm, direct, and down-to-earth.

Currently offering a variety of appointment times, including late evenings and some Saturdays.

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.
