About Therapy
Care that fits your family, not the other way around.
Family Wellness Group is a Northern Virginia therapy practice built on a simple belief: no two people, and no two families, are the same. While we work with clients of all ages and backgrounds, our team shares a common thread of helping individuals, couples, and families navigate change and heal the relationships that matter most.
Whether you’re working through trauma, adjusting to separation or a blended family, supporting a teen through a hard season, or simply looking for a therapist who truly listens, our process is the same: to understand the details of your specific situation and find the subtleties that make your challenges and their solutions unique to you.
Our approach
From the first session, we take time to get a full sense of what’s going on, when it started, how it’s affected you, and how it may be affecting the people around you. We start by making sure you feel safe, then work through each part of the problem in the order that matters most to you.
Our clinicians draw from a range of evidence-based approaches. These include motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT),, psychodynamic and solution-focused techniques — and tailor them to your needs, rather than forcing you into a single model. Therapy with us is never one-size-fits-all.
From session to session, your therapist keeps an ongoing read on your progress and works with you to find the most thorough, efficient path forward.
Ready to get started?
The act of finding and calling a therapist takes courage. From admitting you need help to actually reaching out. We don’t take that lightly, and we’re committed to giving your specific situation the attention it deserves.
People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons, and finding the right “fit” matters. Give us a call to see if we might be the right fit for you: (703) 732-6426. We’ll schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to find out together.
