Virginia Mental Health Therapy Specialties
Plenty of practices cover the everyday concerns. Rowan goes further, into the areas few Virginia therapists train for: health psychology for chronic illness and medical adjustment, rehabilitation psychology after injury or disability, and the mental weight of serious medical and neurological conditions. That depth changes outcomes. When your psychologist genuinely understands the condition you're living with, care fits more precisely and progress comes sooner, the kind of measurable improvement our work is built around.

We fit the method to the condition and to the person: evidence-based, specialty-trained, and shaped around what you actually need. Open any condition below to see how we approach it.

Panic, constant worry, social fear, and the slow narrowing of your life that avoidance creates over time.

Lingering low mood, drained motivation, and the pulling-away that generic advice never quite reaches.
Explore treatment →ADHD
Attention, executive function, and the patterns that follow adults with ADHD into work, home, and relationships.
Explore treatment →Grief & Loss
Loss, anticipatory grief, and the quieter erosion of identity that major life change brings.
See our approach →Autism (Adults)
Support for autistic adults making their way through a world not built for how they think and connect.
Explore treatment →Chronic Illness
Help carrying the psychological weight of a medical condition that treatment alone does not fully settle.

See our approach →Trauma & PTSD

See our approach →How We Work: Our Evidence-Based Methods
What does evidence-based care really look like once you're in the room? Rowan therapists don't lock you into one method. We draw from the approaches with the strongest research behind them for your situation, and adjust as your needs change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Structured work on the thought patterns behind anxiety, depression, and avoidance. It is the most researched therapy there is.
Learn more →Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Loosens the grip of painful thoughts while keeping you pointed at what genuinely matters to you.
Learn more →Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
Catches the depressive spiral before it tightens, drawing on decades of clinical study.
Learn more →Humanistic & Existential Therapy
Meaning, identity, and the questions that surface when life veers off the plan. Depth work for when easing symptoms is not the whole goal.
Learn more →Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Practical skills for steadying emotions, riding out distress, and repairing relationships that keep going sideways.
Learn more →Motivational Interviewing (MI)
A collaborative way through change that keeps stalling, especially when one part of you wants the opposite of another.

What Our Virginia Clients Say
Hear from people who found relief through therapy at Rowan Center.
Therapy had been on my list for probably three years before I actually did it. What finally made it stick was not having to lose an evening driving across Richmond and back, so I could log on after the kids were down and still be in bed at a decent hour. My psychologist taught me how to slow my thoughts down at night instead of letting them spin until 2am. I sleep now, and I'm a more patient parent for it.
R.T.
Coming home from deployment, I thought the hard part was over. It wasn't. The anger would come out of nowhere, usually at the people I love most. Working with someone who used a structured, evidence-based approach instead of just asking how I felt about my childhood is what got me to a place where my wife says she recognizes me again.
D.K.
Being able to do this from my desk on a lunch break is the whole reason I started, because between two jobs there was never going to be a commute in my schedule. I came in thinking I just needed to manage stress better. What I learned was that I'd been white-knuckling burnout for years and calling it being responsible. I work less frantically now and somehow get more done.
M.S.
honestly i only agreed to a video session because it felt lower stakes than sitting in a waiting room. turned out that was exactly what i needed to open up. the health anxiety that used to send me googling symptoms at midnight has loosened its grip and i feel like i got my evenings back.
A.P.
Caring for my mother with dementia while raising two teenagers left nothing for me. I was running on resentment and guilt in equal measure. My therapist didn't try to fix my situation, because it can't be fixed right now. She helped me build something I could hold up under. That mattered more than any advice would have.
J.B.
Perfectionism nearly cost me my job, which is a strange thing to admit since it's also what got me promoted. I was redoing work nobody asked me to redo and missing deadlines because nothing was ever good enough to send. The cognitive work we did here helped me see how much that pattern was running me. I'm not cured of it, but I'm in charge of it now instead of the other way around.
C.W.
Meeting online meant I could finally see someone without explaining to my whole office why I was leaving early every week. The panic attacks that used to hit me in meetings have basically stopped. Six sessions in and I wished I'd reached out a year ago.
T.N.
i moved to virginia for my husband's work and didn't know a soul, and the loneliness turned into something heavier than i wanted to admit. doing sessions from the new place, before i'd even unpacked half the boxes, gave me somewhere to start. i feel like myself in this new chapter now instead of just waiting it out.

Schedule a ConsultationVirginia Therapy Questions, Answered
Is online therapy legal in Virginia?
Yes. Licensed Virginia therapists can legally provide telehealth to anyone physically located in Virginia at the time of the session. Rowan psychologists are licensed in Virginia or authorized through PSYPACT, and our therapists and counselors hold active Virginia licenses. All sessions use a HIPAA-compliant video platform. If you travel out of state, we pause sessions or coordinate with a licensed provider in that state.
Does Rowan Center accept my Virginia insurance?
Rowan is in-network with Medicare, Aetna, and Cigna, and credentialed with TRICARE East as non-network providers. We also work with WA Worker’s Comp (L&I). For PPO plans we do not contract with, we provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA work for most services. We verify your benefits before your first session.
How much does therapy at Rowan cost?
Session rates depend on who you work with. Our licensed psychologists charge $275-$350 per individual session. Couples and family sessions range from $190-$350 depending on provider. If you use insurance we are in-network with, your cost is whatever your plan sets, often a copay between $20 and $60 per session. Out-of-network PPO patients typically pay the full fee up front and get reimbursed through a superbill. We accept check, credit/debit, and HSA cards. For a full breakdown, see our payment information page.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many Virginia clients come to Rowan without a formal diagnosis. Stress, life transitions, grief, or a new medical diagnosis all qualify as reasons to start. If insurance is billing, your therapist will identify an appropriate diagnostic code from your intake, but a diagnosis is a billing tool, not a gate to care.
How do I verify a therapist is licensed in Virginia?
Look up any Virginia-licensed therapist’s name on the Virginia Department of Health Professions provider credential search. Rowan’s Virginia team includes psychologists licensed in Virginia or authorized through PSYPACT, plus therapists and counselors licensed by the Virginia Department of Health Professions. Each therapist’s license or PSYPACT authorization is listed on their profile page.
What if my therapist is not the right fit?
Tell us. Fit is the strongest predictor of good outcomes, and we would rather match you with a better-fit therapist on our team than have you stop therapy. We can usually reschedule you with a new provider within a week. There is no charge to switch inside the practice.
Is Rowan accepting new Virginia patients?
Yes. Our Virginia team has openings for new patients most weeks, online across Virginia. A free 15-minute consultation is the fastest way to check fit and get scheduled. If we are full in a specialty, we refer you to a vetted Virginia therapist outside our practice.
How private and secure is online therapy with Rowan?
Every session runs on a secure, HIPAA-compliant, encrypted video platform. Your clinical notes live in an encrypted, HIPAA-compliant electronic health record. We never share your information with employers, schools, or family members without your written consent.
Do you offer in-person therapy in Virginia?
Not at this time. All Virginia care is online, with secure video sessions on your schedule from anywhere in the state. Clinically the research is clear: for most of what we treat, video therapy works as well as in-person, with no commute and easier weekly consistency. If in-person matters to you, contact us and we will note your interest and let you know as that changes.
Do I need to live near Richmond to work with Rowan?
No. We work with people by telehealth from Virginia Beach to the Blue Ridge and everywhere between. Virginia care is online only right now, so you can meet with your therapist from anywhere in the state. If in-person ever matters to you, contact us and we will note your interest.
What specialties do you offer for Virginia residents?
Health psychology, rehabilitation psychology, anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, brain injury, chronic illness adjustment, couples and family therapy, and teen and adolescent therapy. Each has a dedicated team and a detailed page explaining our approach.
