Integrative Therapy for ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and relationships — for teens, adults, and couples in Ashburn and across Virginia.

We help people who are tired of managing symptoms and ready to actually understand what's driving them. Our approach is depth-oriented, nervous system-informed, and built around you, not a formula.

For children, teens, adults, and couples in Ashburn seeking meaningful, lasting change.

Sick of feeling like sh*t?

You've probably tried to figure it out on your own. Maybe you've even tried therapy before and it just didn't click.

We're an integrative psychotherapy practice specializing in neurodivergence, anxiety, trauma, and relationships, and we take a whole-person approach to all of it.

Our team includes a certified ADHD specialist and clinicians trained in some of the most effective, evidence-based approaches available: neuropsychotherapy, somatic therapy, IFS, ACT, and CBT.

Our style is lighthearted and playful, and our work is deep. We use both traditional and non-traditional modalities — movement, walking, expressive arts, because therapy doesn't have to look one way.

We believe rapport and trust are everything. There's no fakeness here. We own our hangriness, overstimulation, and imperfect moments, and we hold space for our clients to do the same.

Plus, we have snacks!

What our clients are saying

  • “Marilee is truly the best! I met her almost four years ago, it is with her help I found my true self after getting out of an unhealthy relationship, worked on myself, worked on family relationships, self-reflected, she gave me the tools for growth. I wish everyone could have a special person like Marilee in their life. To this day I sometimes catch myself asking ‘what would Marilee do?’ I wouldn’t be where I am today without out her.”

  • “Until this day Cammie has always been my favorite therapist, so thank you so much you have no clue how much you impacted my life”

  • “We could not have asked for a more amazing therapist! Cammie was warm, attentive, and had a lasting impression on my daughter.”

  • “At dinner, my son told us that seeing Cammie was the best part of his day. She has a gift!”

  • “Cammie has been the only therapist that my daughter has had over the years that has actually been able to reach her.”
