Supporting Families in Northern Virginia

At Sage House Counseling & Art Therapy we listen carefully to the whole family to tailor our therapy approach to meet your goals. We offer the unique ability to not only offer traditional talk therapy and counseling, but also art therapy, art play, and sand tray therapies. This is helpful as families can include children of varying ages with differing abilities to verbally express feelings and thoughts. Our clinicians are educated and experienced in art and play therapy as well as trauma, childhood development, and attachment. We approach each family from a child-centered perspective and work holistically to ensure all aspects of wellness are being addressed. We also believe parental participation both in and out of the therapy session is integral to the process.

  • Family Therapy

    Every family encounters challenges and we are here to provide support during those difficult times. We believe Art Therapy can be a way to give each person- from the youngest child to parents- a new way to communicate and deeply connect with one another. Our experienced clinicians provide guidance and a nurturing space to explore difficult feelings, change unhelpful family patterns and build stronger foundations.

  • Parent Coaching

    At Sage House we know raising kids while balancing your own adult life can be challenging. Being a parent may even feel overwhelming, impossible or just plain joyless at times, especially when you lack a supportive community. We are here to be your village, support your family, and bring enjoyment and peace back to the wild ride that is parenthood.

  • A safe space for your family

    We are here to provide your family with the space for exploration, understanding, compassion, and support. We work with you and your child through talking, art, play, and sand tray to safely explore their thoughts and feelings.
