Not sure which appointment to choose?
Here’s a quick guide:
-
Location Choose In-Person to meet at our Ashburn office, or Virtual for a secure video session from home.
-
New Appointments If this is your first time meeting with us (or it’s been a while), choose a New appointment. This gives you and your provider time to get to know each other, talk through your goals, and create a plan.
-
Follow-Up (FU) Appointments If you’ve already been seen by one of our providers, choose a Follow-Up. These sessions are focused on continuing your care, checking progress, and building on previous conversations.
-
Parents Only (FU) Designed for parents who want to meet without their child present to discuss progress, concerns, or strategies.
-
Family / Couple Sessions Choose these if you’ll be attending together as a couple or family, whether it’s your first visit (New) or ongoing (Follow-Up).

Frequently Asked Questions on Psychiatric and Therapeutic Practices at Riverside Counseling Center
What’s the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist at Riverside?
Therapists at Riverside provide talk therapy to help with emotional challenges, relationships, and mental health conditions. Our psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in diagnosing mental health disorders and can prescribe medication when needed. Many clients benefit from working with both a therapist and a psychiatrist as part of a holistic care plan.
Do I need a referral to see a psychiatrist at Riverside Counseling?
No referral is needed to schedule a psychiatric evaluation at Riverside. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, or another mental health concern, you can contact us directly to set up an appointment with one of our board-certified psychiatrists. Several of our providers accept insurance, and for those who are out-of-network, we believe you won’t find more compassionate, expert care anywhere in the region.
What types of therapy do your licensed therapists offer?
Our therapists offer a wide range of services, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, couples counseling, and therapy for children and teens. We tailor each therapy plan to meet the unique mental health needs of our clients across Loudoun County and the surrounding areas.
