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.
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. 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
- Relationship distress
- Couples counseling
- Stress and burnout
- Parenting challenges
- Life transitions
- Family conflict
- Social anxiety and panic
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.
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.
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
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.
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 am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Sterling
Searching for therapists in Sterling starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to discuss. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In Sterling, local therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual appointments can help expand your search across Virginia. You may want a counseling office near you, a therapist with evening availability, or someone who offers a free phone consultation before the first session. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for details about availability, session format, communication style, and whether they are accepting new patients.
Therapy in Sterling can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual care. You can browse therapists in Sterling, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
