Ethan Kaste

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 13 mi away • Fairfax, VA


Hi, I’m Ethan

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.

I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.

I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.

Credentials and training:

  • Certified Clinical Traumatologist
  • Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
  • Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

Therapist

They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Arlington

Finding ADHD therapists in Arlington starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, time management, or support with related concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the age group and concerns you want to address.

Arlington has a strong local mental health care market, with options near residential areas, Metro-accessible neighborhoods, and nearby parts of Northern Virginia. Virtual appointments can also expand your options if your schedule, commute, or provider preferences make in-person care harder to fit in. ADHD often overlaps with anxiety or depression, so it helps to look for a therapist who has experience with ADHD and any related concerns you want to discuss. As you compare profiles, review appointment availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Bios can also show how a therapist structures sessions and works with focus, organization, and follow-through.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. You can compare ADHD therapists in Arlington, review their bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
