FAQs When Searching for Therapists in Fairfax, VA:

How do I find a therapist in Fairfax, Virginia?

You can find a therapist in Fairfax by entering your city or zip code in the search bar above. You can then refine your search results based on areas of expertise, therapeutic approach, gender, languages spoken, and other factors to find the best fit for you.

Are all the Fairfax, VA therapists listed here licensed mental health professionals?

Our directory includes licensed mental health professionals, such as psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Before listing therapists in Virginia, we ensure they are licensed to treat clients in the state.

What personal characteristics should I look for in a therapist?

You may prefer to work with a therapist in Fairfax who speaks a second language, shares your religious beliefs, or is of a certain gender, race, or ethnicity. Finding a therapist who shares your values or personal experiences may help you open up more quickly and have better chemistry with them.

How much does therapy cost?

Therapy costs vary by location, therapist experience, and training. In the US, a session typically starts at around $80 and goes up to $300. Insurance coverage can considerably lower this cost if the therapist is in-network.

Is online therapy right for me?

Online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy, depending on the patient’s mental health condition. However, serious, life-threatening mental illnesses that require visual observation of the patient’s behavior are more suitable for in-person sessions. In most cases, the option for virtual sessions makes the therapeutic experience more convenient, making consistent participation more likely.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Therapists in the US must comply with HIPAA laws to protect sensitive health information. Therapists will only discuss a client with others if the client provides written permission, except in cases where the client is in danger of harming themselves or others, there is suspected abuse of a child, elderly or dependent adult, or if legally required by court order.

How often will I meet my therapist?

Most therapists recommend weekly sessions with their patients. In addition, many therapists assign “homework” between sessions, such as thought exercises and mindfulness activities. Under certain circumstances, a provider may suggest more frequent meetings.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The right type of therapy depends on several factors, including why you’re seeking treatment, your timeline, and your personal preferences. Some therapies are time-limited, while others are open-ended. Some providers specialize in specific therapeutic approaches, known as modalities. If you prefer to be treated using a specific modality,  you can use our filters to find therapists in Fairfax who specialize in any of the more popular therapeutic approaches.
