Northern Virginia Older Adult Counseling

Northern Virginia Older Adult Counseling (NOVA OAC) was established in 2016 with the mission of providing counseling services to the older adult population in our community. The practice was founded by a mother-daughter team, a therapist and a health care administrator, who wanted to create a professional counseling service that focused on the unique mental health needs of older adults. Over time, NOVA OAC has evolved into a thriving practice with multiple licensed clinical social workers on staff, and while we continue to specialize in older adult counseling, we also work with younger adult clients as well.

Services

At NOVA OAC, we offer mental health psychotherapy for older adults who may be experiencing emotional distress associated with medical and psycho-social challenges in the aging process. Our therapists understand the complex issues that can impact multi-generational family systems and friendship networks, and we work with individuals, couples, and families to establish a sustainable plan that supports the best interests of each person.

Our therapists have a wide range of knowledge and experience working with both older and younger adult clients. We offer counseling services for adults aged 30 and above, and we are committed to providing professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate care to all of our clients.

We provide counseling services for a variety of issues, including:

• Depression and anxiety

At NOVA OAC, we believe that every person is unique, and we strive to provide individualized care that meets the specific needs of each of our clients. We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.

Our therapists are all licensed clinical social workers who have extensive training and experience in providing mental health counseling services. We are committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care that is tailored to meet the unique needs of each of our clients.
