Riverside Counseling and Psychiatry team at the Loudoun Walk for Suicide Prevention in Loudoun County, VA

Riverside at the Loudoun Walk for Prevention

Built on the Belief That Everyone Deserves Exceptional Care

Riverside Counseling and Psychiatry was founded in 2002 with a simple but powerful belief: that people struggling with mental health challenges deserve the same level of expertise, compassion, and quality of care you’d expect from any trusted medical practice.

What started as a small practice in Ashburn has grown into Loudoun County’s most trusted mental health group, home to board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and nurse practitioners united by a passion for helping people thrive.

Two decades later, we’ve never stopped refining what we do: thoughtfully designed spaces, exceptional clinicians, flexible scheduling, and care plans that evolve with every patient we serve.

We Look Out for Each Other and for Loudoun County

We’re not just colleagues. We’re a genuine collective: people who show up for each other the same way we show up for patients.

Our clinicians regularly get together to sharpen their skills, sharing techniques, talking through challenging cases, and learning from one another. It makes every one of us better, and means every patient benefits from the wisdom of the whole team, not just one provider.

That same spirit extends into the community. We love Loudoun County, and we love linking up with organizations that share our commitment to mental health. Whether that’s walking alongside neighbors at the AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk or collaborating with Loudoun County Mental Health Services. We believe good care is a community effort.

What We Stand For

Our values aren’t just words on a wall. They shape every interaction, every treatment plan, and every space we create.

01

Clinical Excellence

We recruit only the most exceptional clinicians: board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and nurse practitioners who are leaders in evidence-based care.

02

Radical Compassion

Healing begins in a space of true acceptance. Every patient walks through our door worthy of compassionate, non-judgmental care, regardless of background or circumstance.

03

Personalized Approach

No two people are the same. We build individualized treatment plans that reflect each patient’s unique goals, preferences, and pace. We adjust them as life evolves.

04

Real Human Connection

Our clinicians don’t lecture; they walk alongside. Therapy here feels like a genuine partnership: honest, warm, and completely free of judgment. We meet you exactly where you are and move at your pace, not ours.

05

Peaceful Environments

Our offices are thoughtfully designed to feel calm and welcoming, unlike a typical clinical setting. We believe your environment is part of the healing process.

06

Community Commitment

Riverside is deeply rooted in Loudoun County. We’re proud to be voted Best Mental Health Practice five times by the Loudoun Times Mirror and to serve our neighbors every day.
