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. I have extensive training and experience working with individuals navigating stress, conflict, depression, relationship distress, grief, anxiety, social discomfort and anxiety.
Area of focus include:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression
- Grief and loss
- Relationship distress
- Couples counseling
- Stress and burnout

- Life transitions
- Family conflict
- Social anxiety and panic
I'm Ji-Hae Park, a licensed clinical social worker and certified hypnotherapist based in Herndon, Virginia, with 31 years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, and major life transitions. I'm Korean-American, and I understand the particular ways that cultural background, identity, and family history intersect with how we process pain — whether or not that's what brings you in. My practice is built for people who are ready to go deeper than coping. I see clients both in person in Northern Virginia and virtually throughout the state, and I accept Aetna and Cigna/Evernorth.
I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.
My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.
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.
Hello! My name is Danielle Sims and I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling.I strive to create a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.
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.
I am an LPC in Virginia and LMHC-S in Florida my background in practice consists of treating adolescents, families, children in at risk populations and treating adults with depression and anxiety. I take a holistic approach to counseling and meet the client where they are at. I include CBT and solution-focused techniques in order to assist clients dealing with a variety of issues. I also have a background in TF-CBT informed therapy and utilize this as needed.
Challenges shouldn’t just be endured—they should be the catalyst for your breakthrough. My goal is to help you transform life's toughest hurdles into a foundation for lasting resilience and self-discovery, giving you the tools to reclaim your strength and lead a more intentional life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Arlington
Searching for therapists in Arlington starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Arlington therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work stress, grief, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Their bio can show whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what sessions may feel like.

If you want counseling in Arlington near work, home, or transit, location may matter. If your schedule varies, virtual sessions can make it easier to see a therapist licensed in Virginia. Beyond specialty, review appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before booking.
