Programs available to McLean residents
Outpatient care for addiction, mental health, or both
Mental health treatment
Outpatient psychiatric care and therapy for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Sessions are available in person at our Arlington center or through secure telehealth throughout Virginia.
Mental health programsDual-diagnosis care
When addiction and mental health conditions occur together, treating one without the other rarely lasts. We provide integrated outpatient care that addresses both conditions under one coordinated plan.
How dual-diagnosis worksHow we treat
Evidence-based care, delivered with structure
Evidence-based therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy are core parts of our outpatient programs. These approaches help patients identify patterns, build coping skills, and sustain change.
Medication support
Our psychiatric and medical team provides medication management for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and PTSD. When appropriate, we also use FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid use disorders.
Group, individual & family work
Patients attend group therapy, individual sessions, and family or support-person sessions as part of their plan. This combination addresses isolation, rebuilds trust, and creates a network that supports recovery at home.

Why McLean clients choose us
Discreet, high-quality care close to home
McLean residents often value privacy, convenience, and a clinical team that understands the pressures of high-achievement environments. Our Arlington center is close enough for in-person PHP and IOP without the need to travel into DC or Baltimore, and our programs are designed to fit around demanding professional and family schedules.
We are also familiar with the specific pressures people in this area face: long commutes, high-stakes careers, military and government transitions, and the isolation that can hide inside a busy household. Our treatment plans are built around your actual schedule — not a one-size-fits-all program that ignores the realities of life in Northern Virginia.
