Catholic Counseling in Virginia & Maryland

Live through your values, not your fears

Evidence-based counseling in Virginia and Maryland grounded in the Catholic faith for those seeking healing, freedom, and wholeness

Therapists that Understand Both the Mind and the Faith

Unapologetically Catholic

Above all else, our approach to therapy is rooted in the Catholic faith. All our clinicians offer their work with fidelity to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Insight & Action at Every Session

We reflect on the past and build tools for the present — so you know exactly what to do between sessions.

Healing, Not Just Coping

The goal isn’t endless symptom management, it’s feeling calm, capable and confident when challenges show up.

You're Ready for a Change & You're Here to Begin Again

We know how discouraging it can feel to struggle with your mental health and try to remain strong in your faith. Many clients come in feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. When you work with us, you can expect:

• A therapist who understands Catholic teaching and culture as well as the value of emotional and mental health
• Evidence-based counseling rooted in practical, real-life application
• Sessions that balance steady progress & clear next steps without endless processing

Our clients describe feeling more grounded, more confident, and less ruled by their thoughts — with a clearer understanding of themselves and a more peaceful relationship with their faith.

We provide evidence-based therapy for Catholics who feel stuck between mental health struggles and their faith — and want practical tools that actually work.

When Faith Matters in Your Mental Health Care

You’re trying to be faithful while also feeling overwhelmed, confused, or ashamed for struggling this much. You're not alone, and others have described feeling like this, too:

• You know that prayer can bring comfort, but at times it feels like another source of anxiety and stress.
• You feel anxious or on edge even when life is objectively “okay” from the outside.
• You worry that your emotional or mental problems mean something is wrong with you or your faith.
• You’re exhausted from managing your thoughts and emotions all day, every day.

Your mental health struggles do not mean you are weak, broken, or failing at faith — and it is possible to understand what’s happening without dismissing what matters most to you.

You Can Begin Again — Right Where You Are

When mental and emotional distress goes unaddressed, it tends to take up more space — draining your energy, clouding your judgment, and making even simple decisions feel heavy.

With the right support, that weight doesn’t have to wear you down.

Therapy can become a place where confusion turns into understanding, overwhelm gives way to steadiness, and you begin to feel more confident navigating your thoughts and emotions. Many clients find that reaching out opens the door to greater clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of hope — without asking them to set aside what matters most to them.
