There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.
I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Walden University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Norfolk State University. My clinical experience spans emergency departments, hospitals, and community-based behavioral health settings, where I have supported adults navigating depression, anxiety, life transitions, substance use concerns, and complex medical or psychiatric challenges.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in that our mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so kudos on taking that step! I have over 20 years of working with children and families in the field of education. I now serve children, families, individuals and couples as an LPC with training in play therapy, trauma play, co-parenting and re-unifciation.
I’m Charity, an LCSW with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s harder chapters. Whether you're managing the weight of anxiety and depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to the unique challenges. I’m here to support you. My background across military and medical settings has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Alexandria, VA
Searching for therapists in Alexandria starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Many therapists list specialties such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Alexandria therapists, look for training, therapy style, and listed focus areas that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Alexandria, local office options may be more limited than in nearby larger markets, so virtual therapy can help broaden your search. You may prefer an in-person therapist near Old Town, Del Ray, or another Alexandria neighborhood, or you may want virtual sessions that fit more easily into your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and communication style.
Therapy in Alexandria can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get clearer pricing before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can enter your insurance details, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
