Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.4 mi away • Burke, VA


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in Virginia. I guide adults out of anxiety, burnout, and disconnection and into confidence, balance, and connection - both to self and others.

With a compassionate and collaborative approach guided by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), I work to empower my clients to embrace their thoughts and feelings without judgment, while fostering emotional resilience and deeper connections.

By integrating ACT’s mindfulness and values-driven techniques with EFIT’s focus on emotional bonding and attachment, I help my clients navigate personal challenges, enhance their emotional well-being, and build meaningful, fulfilling relationships.

Laura Miles

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • <1 mi away • Fairfax, VA


My favorite moments in therapy are when I get to witness someone connect all the dots - and that doesn't always happen in session! I work with people who are curious about themselves, their relationships, and their communities. As an art therapist, I like looking for different ways of solving old problems, finding beauty in the unexpected, and creating an emotional language that resonates with you.

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.
