Katie
My name is Katie Slone and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. If you are dealing with issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, interpersonal relationships, and exploring LQBTQ+ concerns, I may be a good fit for you. My experience has focused on adolescents, teens and adults. I believe in evidence based treatments and selecting methods that will best serve the individual.
I use a combination of CBT, DBT and humanistic modalities to treat my clients, as well as use art and other creative methods. I am excellent at building rapport with my clients and establishing a collaborative relationship, which is the foundation of any therapeutic work.
My ability to connect with clients and make the therapy process a comfortable one has led to many positive outcomes. I view client's success as the client being able to take what we have discussed in therapy and to apply learned skills to their lives. Additionally, our goal is that you will leave feeling more empowered and in control of your life.

Adult and couples therapy.
Hello! If you are facing a difficult situation or you are feeling confused, lost or stuck, moving forward may seem daunting. My approach is to focus on you and help you to organize your thoughts, and find alternate ways to approach problems. It can be easier to cope with life’s challenges when you have support. I have experience working with people from all different backgrounds who are struggling with a wide variety of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues and the challenges of parenting.
The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be caring and nonjudgmental, and they appreciate that I am honest and direct with them. My approach is collaborative and effective, founded in a combination of kindness and evidence-based techniques. You can expect me to walk with you through whatever difficulties you are facing and help you learn more about yourself and the way you interact with the world.
I am currently participating with clients through video sessions, and I would be happy to connect with you over the phone for a 15-minute free initial consultation. Contact me at 571-221-1409 or email Dottie@freedomcounselingcenterva.com

Marli Criniti
If you often find yourself wondering what you could do to improve your child’s behavioral and emotional health, you’ve come to the right place. When a child is having a hard time, it may present as physical or verbal aggression, low mood, defiance and other unwanted behaviors. Children need a safe and engaging space where they can learn how to identify and process their emotions. I specialize in working with children ages 4-12 and young adults ages 18-25. I also offer support for parents/caregivers, including learning new ways of responding to and managing your child’s emotions and behaviors. I have clinical experience working with behavioral difficulties, ADHD, ODD, mood disorders and anxiety. My goal is to help your child learn to cope with life's challenges in a positive and healthy way. I utilize a combination of CBT, including DBT and ACT, PCIT, Mindfulness and Play Therapy Techniques to achieve positive outcomes.
