Therapists in Arlington, VA

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. I believe that clients dictate which type of therapy to approach and that it is best when a client leads the way. 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.

Becoming your best self, managing natural life transitions, and staying on top of daily stressors takes work. It can be particularly challenging if you are experiencing an unexpected life transition, struggling with emotion regulation, engaging in unhealthy behaviors, or feeling distress and unfulfillment in your relationships. I work from a client-centered approach and aim to achieve supportive, nonjudgmental and collaborative relationships with my clients. My approach draws from my training in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, Accceptance & Commitment Therapy, & Dialectical Behavior Therapy.

My life’s mission is to help you achieve your best life, even in your not so best times.

Are you smart, successful, and juggling a lot, but your days often include feeling drained, plagued, stuck, or like you can't get over a hump?

I believe therapy means making you feel deeply known and accepted. My approach centers on harnessing your unique strengths in building the bridge between where you are and where you want to be.

The process of understanding yourself with compassion and learning new ways of being in the world isn't always easy, but I'll be with you every step of the way.

We are broken within relationships, and it's in relationships that we can also heal. If you want to feel happier in your marriage or with your partner but feel stuck fighting and disconnected, I invite you to come explore a new way to love yourself and each other. We all yearn to be seen, heard and understood. This often manifests itself in defensiveness and arguing with the people we care about most. My goal is to gently guide you and your partner to more friendship, empathy and love so you can experience the joy of deep connection. I work with couples and individuals. I look forward to hearing from you!
