Our mission is two fold: To provide impactful services that heal our communities. To provide balanced employment for our staff. We take both of these things seriously.

For our clients
We are constantly seeking ways to improve the quality of care and thinking of relevant services that meet your needs. This begins from the time you enter our space. We'll welcome you with warmth, compassion, and a spirit of solidarity. With a variety of offerings, from in person outpatient counseling, community/home based coaching, virtual counseling and group work, and workshops/retreats, etc., we believe that thorough assessment, care coordination, and a commitment to training and supervision are a large part of what makes our boutique operation successful. Our clients are inspired to reach their full potential through holistic wellness and with specific attention to healthy stress management.

For our teammates
It is important that as clinicians we are modeling self care for our clients. This also helps to mitigate burnout, improve longevity of quality patient care, and sustain positive feelings about our work/life balance. Using an open and thoughtful employee-centered perspective, we maintain regular dialogue about flexibility, balance, and care for self. This approach to working helps people want to be here.

We enjoy working with clinical learners on all levels; from hosting practicum students/interns from many of Virginia's Universities, to Resident and Licensed Counselors one day hoping to start their own private practices. Whether Health in Mind is your therapeutic or occupational home, each person that graces our stoop plays an essential role in the success of our company and feedback and ideas are highly encouraged.
We are team made and for all humans, we empower, we balance, we encourage, we support, and we build community...
