Therapists in Arlington, VA

Are you looking for a compassionate space to process life changes? Are you facing challenges in school, in social situations, or in handling your relationships? Life transitions can be challenging because they change our daily routines. Whether you're starting a new job, college, moving to a new place, ending a relationship, or adjusting to a new phase of life, these changes can make us feel anxious, afraid, or depressed as we get used to new situations. Coping with these transitions might mean building strength and rethinking who we are or what we want.

If you are motivated for change, welcome! My focus is to explore how your past and present relationships/coping patterns influence your life. I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT). I treat a vast array of conditions and symptoms, including anxiety, imposter syndrome, depression, couples counseling, parenting training, premarital counseling, divorce, grief and loss, medical conditions and concerns, significant life transitions, trauma, OCD, grief, and spirituality.

It can be difficult to find the "right" therapist. Many clients are nervous about what therapy entails and wonder if counseling will really help them. Although this is completely normal, it shouldn't get in the way of finding the support you deserve. I have found success helping clients navigate relational and professional difficulties. Sometimes these problems come from an identifiable stressor (such as trauma), and other times are more nebulous. I am committed to helping you better understand yourself and create long-lasting change.

For many of us, it can seem easier to support others, yet we struggle with taking care of ourselves. We often know how to be a good friend to a loved one, while falling short on being our own friend. Therapy is a great step in practicing self-awareness and self-care. It also is a way to learn skills that can help you achieve your goals. Using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidenced-based interventions, I work with clients to relieve suffering and achieve better quality of life. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, OCD, adjustment difficulties, and relationship concerns.

I work with clients to provide information about trauma responses and replace self-sabotaging behaviors with adaptive coping strategies.

When people gain insight into their emotions and behaviors, positive changes occur.

Life is a journey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges. The hurdles that we face on this journey make it common to feel lost, overwhelmed, or confused, but the commonality of these feelings does not make them any less intense. I understand the profound impact that life's challenges can have, and I have had the privilege of helping numerous people through some of their most difficult times.

Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. Someone who knows how to ask the right questions and really listen to your answers. I think counseling should be like talking to a really good friend, one who has knowledge of you and the connections which may be at work in your life, and who has permission to confront you and ask you hard questions. I am candid and direct with my clients, pointing out things that need to be looked at, and then helping them process and live out new insights. Integrating faith and values is important to me.

I am Dr. Latoya Gassaway-White, and I have my LPC. I have been practicing CBT and solution-focused mostly, but I have experience with psychodynamic and family therapy approaches.

Together we create realistic and attainable goals, and then I help my clients tackle and achieve those goals. I work primarily with clients with anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
