Trauma-informed therapy for adults and teens

Anxiety & Trauma Therapy in Ashburn, VA
Welcome. I’m Lauren McCall, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) providing anxiety and trauma therapy in Ashburn, Virginia. With more than 15 years of experience working with clients in a variety of settings, I help adults and adolescents navigate anxiety, trauma, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, and difficult life transitions.
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I draw from trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic therapy to help you better understand what you’re experiencing, reduce anxiety and reactivity, and feel more grounded and present in your daily life. I believe therapy should be tailored to you—not simply to a diagnosis—and I’ll work with you to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop meaningful, lasting change.
If you’re considering therapy for anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or a life transition, I welcome you to reach out or schedule a phone consultation. I’m happy to answer your questions and help you decide whether we might be a good fit. It can be hard to see a way forward when you’re in the thick of it, but things can get better.
Together, we'll explore the impact of your past, allowing you to create a more peaceful future.
How it Works
01
Reach out
Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute phone consult. This gives you a chance to ask any questions and get a sense of whether I might be a good fit for you.
02
Get to work
During our initial session, we’ll begin to identify the root of your distress and develop a plan for creating change. Sessions are person-centered, and are always guided by a compassionate, trauma-informed, and evidence-based framework.
03
See change
Most clients begin to feel some relief after the first month and notice significant progress over the course of therapy. Many clients opt to continue with therapy longer-term, both to process the ups and downs of life and to delve deeper into self-discovery.
