Therapy & Counseling Services in Virginia

Both. We have three in-person offices in Virginia (Alexandria, Norfolk, and Fredericksburg), and every therapist on our team is licensed to provide virtual therapy to clients anywhere in the state. So whether you’re in Richmond, Virginia Beach, Roanoke, Charlottesville, or a more rural part of the state, you can work with one of our specialized eating disorder therapists from home.

We have three Virginia locations:

Fredericksburg, VA: serving Stafford, Spotsylvania, and the I-95 corridor between Richmond and Northern Virginia.

Alexandria, VA (Old Town North): 901 N Washington St, serving the DMV, Northern Virginia, and the DC metro area, including Arlington, Fairfax, McLean, and Falls Church.

Norfolk, VA (Downtown): serving Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and the broader Tidewater region.

Our specialty is eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, and disordered eating. Every clinician on our team worked in higher-level eating disorder treatment (residential, PHP, or IOP) before joining the practice. We also support clients with concerns that frequently co-occur with eating disorders, including trauma and PTSD, anxiety and OCD, depression, ADHD and neurodivergence, body image struggles, life transitions, and self-esteem.

Yes. Our team is licensed in Virginia, so we can see clients via telehealth statewide. Sessions take place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. This is especially helpful for clients in parts of the state where specialized eating disorder care is hard to find locally, including Southwest Virginia, the Eastern Shore, and the Shenandoah Valley.

We are out-of-network providers, which means we do not bill insurance directly. After each session, we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients with PPO plans receive partial reimbursement for out-of-network mental health care. During your free consultation, we’ll use a tool called Mentaya to check your specific out-of-network benefits so you know what to expect before your first session. Jennifer Forbes, LPC, in our Alexandria office, is also a TRICARE-certified non-participating provider for active military and veteran clients.

Yes. Several of our Virginia therapists work with adolescents, including Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for teen eating disorder recovery. FBT is considered the gold-standard treatment for adolescent eating disorders and empowers parents to play an active role in their child’s recovery. Let us know your teen’s age and what’s going on, and we’ll match you with a clinician who specializes in that stage.

Three things. First, depth of training: every therapist on our team came from a higher level of eating disorder treatment before moving into outpatient work, which is rare in Virginia and means you’re getting clinicians who genuinely understand the complexity of recovery. Second, true Health At Every Size® alignment: we will never recommend weight loss as a treatment goal or bring diet-culture messaging into your care. Third, collaboration: eating disorder recovery often involves a dietitian, physician, or psychiatrist, and we coordinate actively with your full care team (with your permission) so nothing falls through the cracks.

Start with a free phone consultation. We’ll talk through what brings you in, your location and scheduling needs, and what you’re looking for in a therapist. From there, we’ll match you with the team member whose specialties and availability fit best. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to point you toward someone who is.

Call (571) 249-5332 or email admin@coastalcollaborativecare.com to request a free consultation. We’re currently taking new clients across all three Virginia offices and for statewide telehealth. After your consultation, we’ll schedule you with your therapist and walk you through everything you need before your first session.
