Women's Issues Therapists in Falls Church, VA

We all have challenges. Pretending that they don't exist only makes them bigger. Learning how to accept and navigate our way through negative emotions and experiences helps us grow, heal, and become more aligned with ourselves and tap into our strengths. I can help you work through challenges and learn how to overcome them to become stronger and create a better life. I've spent years helping teens and adults navigate sadness, loneliness, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and a host of complex issues.

Currently accepting new clients! Connection and comfortability play a key role in the success of therapy. Finding a therapist who has expertise in addressing your specific concerns is essential! I specialize in working with clients who struggle with anxiety, identify as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and autistic teens and adults, or those who think they may be neurodivergent. As a parent myself, I also enjoy working with parents of neurodivergent and/or high needs kids.

If you have been struggling for a while with something and unable to resolve it on your own, it’s probably time to consult a therapist. This process can seem really daunting but doesn’t have to. If you feel the need for change in some area of your life and are willing to work for it, you just need a skilled therapist to help you narrate your journey to a happier place. With 30 years of work in community mental health, public schools, and private practice, I have assisted many individuals and families make meaningful changes in their lives. I currently see individual adults and also provide guidance and consultation to parents.

Now accepting new clients on a waitlist! Whether you’re new to therapy or have prior experiences, we will find approaches that work for YOU to take control of your life. Complexity is my specialty; our problems and experiences don’t exist in a vacuum. Making meaningful, lasting changes to our mental health can be difficult enough without factoring in a person’s experiences. Whether you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, boundaries, life stressors, suicidal ideation, intrusive thoughts, or a combination of the above, we will untangle it together.

You’ve made it this far, now what? Starting your counseling journey can be overwhelming and confusing at times. The most important things to remember are that you are worth the effort, to always be curious, and that I am here to help support you through your process. It has always been clear to me that it takes a community to support an individual. We often turn to our families, friends, educators, and leaders for guidance in challenging situations. My role as a counselor is to help guide you through the challenges you might be facing in a confidential, empathetic, and supportive environment.

You are valuable, and your experiences are unique, and with support, you can find your path forward. Experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, times of transition, grief, and guilt can be lonely and physically draining. Trusting someone to share your experience with can be scary. Sharing your feelings can be the start of healing, and together, we can create a trusting therapeutic relationship for you to be seen and heard. I can provide a supportive and safe environment to share your experiences and process your emotions, in the office at Falls Church Wellness Center or via telehealth anywhere in the state of Virginia.

Izabela Osiniecka is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Virginia. She received both her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Community Action and Social Change and her Master of Social Work at the University of Michigan. She has experience working with adults with acute and chronic psychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.

For the past 20 years I have had the privilege of working with young adults and adults, some caregivers and practitioners who have struggled with burnout, chronic illness, addiction, life and career transitions and relationship stressors. Coming from a solution-oriented perspective, I work collaboratively with individuals to identify healthy ways of moving forward in their lives. I support their journey in identifying strengths while working to overcome the parts of themselves that interfere with the life they would like to live.

I operate from the perspective that therapy is not about changing ourselves. Rather, therapy is simply creating space for the seemingly dark, fearful, and shameful parts within us. These parts want to be seen and accepted, just as we all do. In sessions, I encourage my client to allow their body and inner wisdom to drive the progression of the therapeutic process. I believe that healing occurs as we gently move towards non-resistance and self-acceptance. This process catalyzes the body’s innate ability to transform emotions, the conscious, and the subconscious mind.

Does it ever feel like something’s missing? Maybe you’re feeling a bit stuck? Or maybe you’re not sure what it is you’re feeling? I know how exhausting it can be to carry as usual on when you’re feeling this way, and my goal is to help you figure out what’s going on and how to resolve it. My approach is empathetic, laid-back, and nonjudgmental, and I’m here to tailor our time together based on your needs and your strengths. I believe in supporting the flexibility and growth of the whole person, and that building a respectful, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential to using our time together effectively.
