Welcome to the Family Therapy Center of Northern Virginia, llc 
Located in Ashburn, a Family Friendly Neighborhood in Loudoun County

Welcome to The Family Therapy Center of Northern Virginia.  I am Gabrielle Anderson, the Director of the Center.  We are both proud and excited to be announcing an expansion in services offered, in a beautiful location in Ashburn, Virginia. 

Life in NOVA can often be fast and furious.  In such a fast paced world, it seems effortless to lose ourselves in the pursuit of success.  Sometimes it becomes too easy to forget how to live our lives purposefully and with meaning. Achievement can be vital and important, however, at what cost?  Here, at the Center we try to help clients achieve a balance that feels right to you. Tapping into old places in your relationship or evolving something in yourself that feels completely new is part of the exploration of therapy. The journey is yours; we just help you get there.

Our Center offers therapy for the entire family. We have extensive experience providing therapeutic services to those with sensitive positions as well as substantial security clearances. The privacy of yourself and your family members is top priority to us. Beyond general HIPAA regulations, we can give tips on how to insure that your therapy is your business and not that of your employer or insurance company.

People usually do not seek out therapy at the onset of an issue or problem. Usually securing counseling services is in response to having lost sight of the way out of a problem or issue. We understand that your first therapy appointment is akin to an E.R. visit or specialist appointment. Our goal is to help you feel relief and empowered as quickly as we can.

At the Center, we are proud to have a select team of diversely trained clinicians ready to help you navigate life. Whether for yourself or a loved one, we are here to help. Don't be fooled by our name. Although we treat the family and relationships within it, we enjoy helping individuals find help and support as well. From art therapy to EMDR, to traditional talk therapy, teens and adults can confidently explore new options and new beginnings. 

Children as young as three can enjoy the comfort and ease of our therapeutic play room. Using play and art as a tool can help children feel comfortable and confident during therapy sessions. Our play therapists are skilled and well trained to treat the specific needs of a child. 

We welcome you to browse the website to see if one of our clinicians could be a good fit for you or a family member. Finding a therapist you can trust is important.
