Comprehensive Outpatient Therapy Services
Outpatient therapy and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families — delivered with compassion, clinical excellence, and a commitment to whole-person wellbeing.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a private, confidential space to work through the challenges that matter most to you. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, life transitions, or trauma, our licensed therapists offer personalized care grounded in evidence-based approaches.
Sessions are tailored to your unique goals and therapeutic preferences. We draw from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions.
We help with:
- Anxiety & panic disorders
- Depression & mood disorders
- Grief & loss
- Life transitions (career, relationships, identity)
- Self-esteem & confidence
- Trauma & PTSD
- Anger management
- Stress & burnout
- Available in person & via secure telehealth
- Medicaid & most insurance accepted
- Matched to a clinician who fits your needs
- Sessions typically 45–50 minutes
- Most clients begin within days of their first call
Couples & Family Therapy
Relationship challenges are some of the most painful experiences we face — and some of the most transformable with the right support. Our therapists work with couples and families at every stage, from early conflict to crisis, helping build healthier patterns and deeper connection.
We use evidence-based relational approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman-informed methods, and family systems work.
We work with:
- Couples — any relationship stage, any orientation
- Families navigating conflict or major transitions
- Parents & adolescents with strained communication

RCIC offers driver safety treatment support for clients referred through court or community systems, including VASAP-related referrals. Services are outpatient, clinically grounded, and focused on accountability, insight, and sustained behavior change.

- Childhood adverse experiences (ACEs)

- Sexual assault & sexual trauma
- Accidents, injury, or medical trauma
- Loss, grief & complicated bereavement
- Community & racial trauma
Approaches We Use

Psychiatric Referral Support
RCIC is an outpatient therapy practice and does not provide in-house psychiatry or medication management. If medication support may be appropriate, we coordinate with trusted external prescribers.
Your therapist stays engaged throughout this process so your treatment remains cohesive and client-centered.
Request Referral Support
What We Coordinate
- Referral to external medication prescribers
- Therapist-to-prescriber communication when authorized
- Support for co-occurring mental health and substance use needs
- Continuity planning for step-down and stabilization
- Care navigation for justice-involved referrals
Telehealth Counseling
Telehealth removes the barriers — no commute, no parking, no scheduling around office hours. Our secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform delivers the same quality therapeutic care you'd receive in person, from wherever you are in Virginia.
Available for individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy. Many clients find the convenience of telehealth actually improves their consistency with care.
Telehealth is ideal for:
- Clients with busy or unpredictable schedules
- Those with transportation barriers
- People in rural or suburban Virginia
