Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, VA

Just relax, they said - and you want to, but don't even remember what that feels like! What if something goes wrong? It did that one time. You are not alone: many people spend their time dealing with thoughts and feelings that feel intrusive and time-consuming. If you are tired of feeling trapped inside your own head, there is hope. My passion is helping people get unstuck from thoughts and feelings related to past and present experiences including child and adult complex traumas, OCD (Obsessive-compulsive Disorder), scrupulosity, and other anxiety and depression issues and into living life.

I’m Dr. Gina Sissoko, a licensed clinical psychologist passionate about helping women—especially Black women, immigrant women, and high-achieving professionals—heal from trauma, manage stress, and create lives that feel balanced and authentic.

My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both science and cultural awareness. I specialize in supporting women navigating burnout, relationship challenges, and the effects of racism or gender bias at work. In our sessions, I create a space where you can slow down, feel seen, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.

I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 7 years working in behavioral health, offering personalized care through telehealth for adults and teens. I treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, mood changes, and life stressors with a strengths-based approach, focusing on both symptom relief and personal growth. My goal is to provide medication management with supportive therapy in a collaborative, compassionate way. Together, we’ll create a plan that helps you find clarity, balance, and confidence. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out today—I look forward to connecting with you.

As a therapist, I believe in your story and your individual experience. A space that is safe, comfortable, & free of judgement is essential for your success. It is important that you are in control of your own therapeutic experience, and I believe my role as a therapist is to serve as a guide & emotional support for you through your own journey. To provide a more authentic process and promote psycho-education, I aim to actively engage with you through discussions and person-centered support. “Pain is real, but so is hope”, and that is the main goal of my therapeutic approach: instill hope.

I work with adults from all backgrounds and experiences. I will help you achieve your goals, reduce symptoms, and develop the life you envision.
