Not at all. Art therapy isn’t about artistic skill or creating something that looks a certain way. The focus is on the process, curiosity, and what you notice along the way.

You also don’t have to make art in therapy. Creative approaches are always optional and can be woven into our work when they feel useful to you.

The first session is a chance to get to know each other, talk about what brings you in, and begin exploring what you’d like from therapy. There’s no pressure to share everything at once or have a clear idea of where to begin.

We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable and start getting a sense of what might be most useful for you.

My hope is that you leave the first session feeling grounded and supported.

There isn’t a set timeline for therapy. Some people come for support around a specific experience or transition, while others find value in ongoing work.

We’ll check in along the way and make decisions together about what feels useful and where you’d like to go next.

Availability can vary. Please reach out to ask about current openings or schedule a brief consultation to see if working together might be a good fit.

Individual therapy sessions are $215 for 60 minutes.

Fees for groups, workshops, and other offerings may vary.

Grove is an out-of-network practice and does not bill insurance directly. A superbill can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

Coverage varies by plan, so you may want to check with your insurance provider about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Yes. Virtual therapy is available for clients located in Virginia and Washington, DC. In-person sessions are also available at the Grove office in Falls Church.

Some people prefer one format, while others use a combination of both depending on what works best for them. For clients who primarily meet virtually, occasional in-person sessions are encouraged when possible.

Parent and caregiver support is a space for you to talk through questions or challenges related to supporting a child or teen. We might explore what’s happening, consider your child’s needs and perspective, and think together about approaches that feel right for your family.

Your child does not need to be a therapy client at Grove for you to receive parent or caregiver support.

Yes. I work with therapists who are looking for a space to focus on themselves, whether that means navigating something in their personal life, reflecting on how their work affects them, or simply having a place where they don’t have to be the therapist.

Therapy for therapists is separate from clinical supervision, and the two services are not provided concurrently to the same person.

Yes. Grove Therapy Collective offers calming, light-filled spaces created with therapists and their clients in mind.
