Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, which means that I have been specially trained to assess and provide on-going mental health support during and following a personal crisis. I received my MSW from the University of Denver, and completed my B.S. degree in administration of justice from George Mason University.

Prior to starting my own practice I worked in a variety of human service settings including residential treatment, secondary education, and in child welfare.

I bring a warm, friendly approach to each therapy session. I like for sessions to feel like a good conversation that leaves you feeling uplifted and more confident about yourself and your situation.

Areas of specialty include: Anxiety, ADHD, Anger Management, Complex Trauma, Depression, Life Transitions, and Relationships Issues and for children, youth, their families.

Dr. Erik Frost

Psychiatrist

Virtual • Virginia


I'm Dr. Erik Frost, a board-certified psychiatrist with over ten years of experience treating a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma, OCD, and bipolar disorder. I attended medical school at the University of Colorado and psychiatric residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. At my practice, I provide comprehensive psychiatric medication management and evidence-based psychotherapy.

It's important to me to work with insurance providers. I work with most insurance providers in the DC, MD and VA area. I use Headway for insurance and billing, but will schedule our visits through a separate platform. For detailed scheduling instructions, please see my website: curatementalhealth.com

My practice is fully virtual. As a result, I do NOT prescribe any "Controlled Substances" which often require an in-person provider. These medications include stimulant medications for ADHD, like Adderall and Ritalin, and benzodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
