About Strickhart Psychotherapy
If you’re living with a chronic illness, you know that it can affect every aspect of your life. I’m Laura Strickhart, LCSW, a licensed therapist based in Reston, Virginia, and I specialize in helping people navigate those effects. Using compassionate, evidence-based care, I help people learn to live well while experiencing illness, disability, and the mental health symptoms that can accompany chronic health problems.
What kind of therapy do you provide?
I offer therapy sessions in-person in my office in Reston, Virginia, as well as online from the convenience of your home. My primary form of therapy is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); as appropriate I also include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). I offer a person-centered approach, which means that your concerns and priorities are what shape treatment planning and session topics. Some topics people often choose to discuss in therapy include the effects of chronic illness on relationships with friends, family, loved ones, and caregivers; navigating work, school, and hobbies while ill; loneliness and isolation; self-image and self-esteem; and hopes and fears for the future.
What kind of people do you see?
I see clients ages 16 and up who are located in the state of Virginia.
Do I need a chronic illness diagnosis to make an appointment?
No! If you are wondering whether you could benefit from mental health care, you’re invited to make an appointment.
What forms of insurance do you accept?
Strickhart Psychotherapy is an in-network provider with [COMING SOON]. It is an out-of-network provider with other insurance; we can provide you documentation that will allow you to apply for reimbursement from your insurance company.
