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.

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

  • Couples counseling
  • Stress and burnout

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.

Whether we are healing old wounds, addressing current struggles, or pursuing increased life satisfaction, therapy can be a useful tool in reaching our goals. Research has shown the best predictor of positive outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to develop genuine, honest, and collaborative relationships with each of my clients. Whatever the issue, I believe everyone is capable of healing and growth, and I endeavor to help my clients achieve those outcomes.

Dr. Joy Mwendwa

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Centreville, VA


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.

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 Reston

Searching for therapists in Reston starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, or work stress. As you compare Reston therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples therapy and marriage counseling.

Reston has a smaller local therapy market than nearby larger areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care connected to Virginia-licensed therapists. You may want an office near Reston Town Center, Wiehle-Reston East, or another part of Reston, or you may prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new clients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like couples counseling in Reston, VA.

Therapy in Reston 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 you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
