YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIGURE THIS OUT ALONE
Life can become overwhelming in ways that are difficult to explain. You may be carrying stress that never seems to let up, struggling in relationships, grieving a loss, feeling disconnected, or finding that anxiety, panic or depression are making daily life more difficult than they once were.
Many people come to therapy after trying to manage things on their own for a long time.
Welcome! I'm David Caldwell, a psychotherapist and Clinical Social Worker who works with adults, couples and families in Reston, VA.

Whether we are healing old wounds, addressing current struggles, or pursuing increased life satisfaction, therapy can be a useful tool in reaching our goals. Research has shown the best predictor of positive outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to develop genuine, honest, and collaborative relationships with each of my clients. Whatever the issue, I believe everyone is capable of healing and growth, and I endeavor to help my clients achieve those outcomes.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, or lonely, please know that you do not have to carry this alone. Healing is a personal journey, and gentle, supportive care is within reach.
I specialize in working with children and adolescents, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, social, and developmental challenges in a supportive and engaging environment. I bring over five years of experience providing psychotherapy services to children and families, as well as experience working with children with neurodivergent needs in an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) setting. These experiences have strengthened my ability to understand and support children with a wide range of strengths, challenges, and developmental needs.
I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.
You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.
In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.
We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

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.
