Our therapists offer DBT / dialectical behavior therapy in Woodbridge, VA

I am Dr. Rose Ehichioya, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with 16 years of experience in mental health and psychiatric care. My background includes psychiatric nursing, forensic mental health, healthcare administration, and nursing informatics. I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and patient-centered care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use concerns. I take an individualized approach, partnering with clients to develop a treatment plan that promotes healing and quality of life.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and individualized, focusing on the whole person rather than symptoms. I combine psychiatric assessment, medication management, psychoeducation, and supportive therapy, with a focus on women's mental health. Clients can expect to feel heard and respected while building coping skills and confidence to move forward.

I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel like a difficult first step, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I am here to listen without judgment and support you with compassion and understanding. I welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you as you seek relief or meaningful change. Schedule an appointment today.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting individuals through life transitions, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, trauma, and substance use. I specialize in working with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from themselves, their relationships, or their sense of purpose. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking clarity, healing, and a more grounded sense of self. Together, we work to understand patterns that no longer serve them, build resilience, and cultivate meaningful change.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and I ground my approach in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I support clients in slowing down, tuning into their emotions and patterns, and making intentional choices.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know you are not alone in whatever you are facing. If you’re ready to explore your story and take steps toward healing or growth, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. When you are ready, I invite you to take that next step—we will move forward at your pace together.
