Kaylie Groenhout
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC, EMDRIA Certified Therapist
Life in Northern Virginia moves fast, but your therapy journey shouldn't feel rushed or overly clinical. Ditch a sterile medical office for a grounded, boutique approach to mental wellness. Specializing in EMDR and IFS-informed parts work for adults in the area and state at large, I help clients navigate the transition from feeling perpetually on edge to feeling more at home within their own systems. You aren't just another case file. You're a person looking for a safe place to do the real work. If you’re tired of surface-level talk and ready for lasting, meaningful change, let’s start with a conversation.

Arlington is home to the Pentagon and a concentration of federal government, defense contracting, and intelligence community workers that gives it a distinctive therapy clientele — people who often cannot openly discuss their work, carry significant stress related to security clearances, and navigate the psychological weight of careers lived at the intersection of policy and national security. The county is one of the most educated and affluent in the United States, with a population that is generally comfortable seeking therapy and financially able to engage in longer-term work. Virginia Hospital Center and the broader Northern Virginia healthcare ecosystem provide institutional mental health resources alongside one of the most established private practice communities in the Washington DC metro area. Arlington's large Latinx population — concentrated in the Columbia Pike corridor — creates important demand for Spanish-speaking and culturally affirming therapists alongside the predominantly white-collar therapy clientele.
