LGBTQ+ Affirming Counseling in Northern Virginia

Finding a provider who understands your identity, relationships, and priorities can be an important part of choosing counseling. ACTIVV providers include clinicians whose biographies specifically describe work with LGBTQ+ clients. You can tell our coordinator about the experience, communication style, and areas of focus you would like in a provider.

Explore the Approach

Liz Fernandez’s Reston profile lists LGBT+, neurodivergence, polyamory and non-monogamy, relationship wounds, substance use, and trauma. Jenn McCue’s Fairfax biography describes work with LGBTQ+ populations, and her specialties include identity exploration, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Counseling can focus on the concerns you choose to bring. Ask about each provider’s experience with the issues that matter to you, rather than assuming identity alone determines the focus of care.
