Brandy Bower

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been working with clients since 2021. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and identity — the big, tender stuff that often doesn't have an easy answer but always deserves a real conversation.

I work with adolescents and adults but to be honest, my door is open to anyone having a human experience. Which, is all of us.

My approach draws from Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness — but what that looks like in practice is less textbook and more tailored to you. Some people need tools and strategies. Some people just need to feel genuinely heard for the first time in a long time. Most people need both, and we figure that out together.

I show up as a real person. I'm warm, honest, occasionally funny, and always in your corner. You won't find me blank-faced or judgmental. You will find someone who is genuinely invested in your story and rooting for you, every step of the way.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Brittany Davis, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner (LSATP) in Virginia. I’m passionate about helping adults feel more grounded, confident, and connected—especially when life has been shaped by trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or painful patterns that keep repeating. I also support clients navigating recovery from substance use, relationship and family stress, burnout, and major life transitions.

My background includes community and outpatient settings as well as private practice, and I bring a trauma-informed, whole-person approach that considers mind, body, and spirit (when that fits your values).

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Covington, VA


Hi, I’m Bethany Hagy, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about six years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. I earned my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in May 2021.

I work with clients ages 6 through adulthood, supporting a wide range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, impulse control, relationship challenges, and life or career transitions. Whether you’re navigating something specific or just feeling stuck, I aim to meet you where you are.

At the core of my work is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. I strive to be a voice for those who feel like they don’t have one and a steady presence for those who need someone in their corner.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions to make therapy as accessible and comfortable as possible.

Andrea Clarke Uter

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Virginia


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.

My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.

As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.

I have spent 5 years working with individuals navigating narcissistic abuse, intimate relationship conflict, complex trauma, life transitions, chronic anxiety, neurodivergence, depression, BPD, grief, bipolar disorder, addiction, vocational stress, and more. My experience has taught me that while every person’s story is unique, our need for connection and agency is universal.

​I hold a Master’s in Community Agency Counseling from Hampton University. Beyond my formal education, I am deeply committed to ongoing training in neurobiology and trauma-informed care. This means I don't just look at your thoughts—I look at how your nervous system is responding to the world around you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sterling

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Providers hold different licenses — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — and may specialize in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or trauma-informed care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Sterling is part of the broader Loudoun County area, with many providers also serving nearby communities like Ashburn, Leesburg, and Reston. Some therapists offer in-person sessions at local offices, while others are available for virtual appointments — giving you more flexibility to fit therapy into your schedule. If you're open to virtual visits, you may have access to a wider selection of providers across Virginia.

Therapy in Northern Virginia can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit.
