Hello! I know people have many different perspectives on therapy, and I’m glad you’re exploring your options. After doing this for many years now, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of how people progress in counseling and therapy. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia, and I specialize working with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
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
I am a wife and mother of two children ages 12 and 14 yo and two dogs. I have lived in DC Metropolitan area for most of my life. I have experienced acculturation and loss of a parent due to cancer. I was raised amongst entrepreneurs, politicians, doctors and lawyers. Despite the challenges, I've found common grounds with people from all walks of life.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression. I earned my master’s degree in social work from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and have dedicated my career to helping people find healing, peace of mind, and a more grounded, fulfilling life. I’m a lifelong learner who remains committed to professional growth and to staying current with the most effective, research-based interventions to support my clients’ healing and well-being.
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 have been counseling and supporting individuals and families from diverse and neurodiverse backgrounds for over nine years.
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.

Most of us who live Virginia are feeling stressed by our hectic lives. Are you feeling stuck or alone, dissatisfied with your job, job loss, spouse deployment, family conflict, grief, sleep issues, road rage or exhausted? We tend to bottle up these feelings and they affect our emotions : anger, anxiety, depression, sadness frustration and substance abuse. I can help you gain tools needed to improve your coping skills, and improve your sleep, reduce feelings of stress, depression and anxiety.
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 am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist who sees adults and teens. I specialize in eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm and grief.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fairfax
Searching for therapists in Fairfax starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for that area. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or solution-focused therapy. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may involve.
Fairfax has many mental health professionals, but local office availability may vary by schedule, neighborhood, and specialty. Virtual therapy can help expand your options across Virginia, especially if nearby appointment times are limited or your calendar makes in-person visits harder to arrange. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and session format in one place.
Therapy in Fairfax can be a significant investment 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 find therapists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, see an estimated cost before booking, review therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
