Dr. Pedro J Rivera Santana

Psychologist

Virtual • Virginia


Many of the young people I work with come to me feeling trapped. It's as if the weight of what they're carrying is too heavy to put into words, and they're not sure anyone will understand. Anxiety and depression can make the world feel impossibly small, and for some, those feelings have led to self-harm or thoughts of suicide. I specialize in working with teens and young people, though I welcome clients of all ages — because feeling stuck doesn't come with an age limit.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Ashburn

Searching for therapists in Ashburn starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. Others may list specific approaches in their profiles, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy. Reviewing specialties, therapy style, and client focus can help you find a therapist whose training matches what you want to work on.

Ashburn has local therapy options, and nearby areas like Sterling, Leesburg, and Reston may also factor into your search. Since local appointment availability can vary, virtual therapy in Virginia can expand the number of therapists you can consider. As you compare options, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios can also give you a clearer sense of how a therapist communicates, structures sessions, and works with people who share your concerns.

Therapy in Ashburn can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare available therapists in one place — so you can review profiles, confirm fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

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