Calming art therapy and counseling office at Grove Therapy Collective, Northern Virginia

Who This Space Is For


You may be exploring who you are, navigating a transition, feeling pulled in different directions, or noticing patterns in yourself or your relationships that you want to understand more deeply.

Grove offers a space for young adults and adults to slow down, get curious, and make room for what matters. There doesn’t have to be a crisis or a clear answer about what you need before you begin.

People come to therapy for all kinds of reasons.

All are welcome here. LGBTQIA+ affirming art therapy and counseling for young adults, adults, and parents in Northern Virginia

LGBTQ+ & Gender-Affirming Care

Therapy can be a place to explore identity, relationships, sexuality, gender, and the many ways these parts of ourselves intersect. Whether you’re questioning, coming out, navigating transition, finding your place in relationships or family, or simply wanting a space where your identity doesn’t need to be explained, you’re welcome here.

LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming care at Grove centers your experience without assuming that your identity is the reason you’re seeking therapy.

Therapy for Therapists

Being the person who holds space for others doesn’t mean you always have to have it figured out. Therapy can be a place to put down the therapist role, without judgment or expectation, and have space to do your own work too.

Whether you’re navigating changes in your personal life, reflecting on how your work affects you, or simply wanting a space that is entirely your own, you don’t have to show up here as the therapist.

Identity & Life Transitions

Adulthood can bring shifts in identity, relationships, priorities, and the roles we hold. You may be moving through a transition, balancing different parts of yourself, reconsidering what you want, or noticing that something no longer fits the way it once did.

Therapy offers space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what feels meaningful in this season of your life.

Parent & Caregiver Support

Supporting a child or teen can bring questions that don’t always have simple answers. You may be navigating changing family dynamics, trying to understand what your child needs, or looking for new ways to connect.

Parent and caregiver support offers space to talk through what’s happening, gain perspective, and find approaches that feel right for your family.

Services & Modalities


Welcoming art therapy and counseling office, Northern Virginia

Talk Therapy

Sometimes talking things through helps us see them differently. Conversation can create space to slow down, notice patterns, explore relationships, and make sense of what you’re experiencing.

Talk therapy can stand on its own or be woven together with creative and body-based approaches, depending on what feels useful to you.

Art Therapy

Sometimes words only tell part of the story. Art therapy offers another way to explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences through creative expression, often making space for things that may be difficult to name or understand through conversation alone.

No art experience is needed. The focus is on the process, curiosity, and what emerges along the way, not what you create.

Body-Based Awareness

Our bodies often notice things before we have words for them. Body-based awareness brings attention to physical sensations, emotions, and patterns as another way of understanding what’s happening within you.

This might mean noticing where you feel tension, paying attention to your breath, recognizing shifts in energy or emotion, or exploring what helps you feel more grounded and connected to yourself.
