Whatever You're Facing, We Can Help

Therapy and Psychiatry, Coordinated Under One Roof

Leesburg has a growing number of counselors, but very few offices combine therapy and psychiatry under one roof. At Riverside, your therapist and your psychiatrist can actually coordinate on your care, instead of working from two separate practices that never talk to each other.

Many of our Leesburg patients tell us the same thing: getting seen sooner beats a six-week wait for a new patient slot elsewhere. We keep our schedule open enough to offer same-week appointments for most new patients, right off Route 7 in Ashburn or by telehealth from home.

Match with a Provider

Prefer to Talk While You Walk?

Not every conversation needs to happen across a desk. For Leesburg-area clients who find it easier to open up while moving, we offer Walk & Talk sessions outdoors near our Ashburn office, the same evidence-based counseling, just in the fresh air instead of behind a closed door.

It's a good fit if sitting still for 50 minutes feels hard, if you have ADHD and think better on your feet, or if an office simply feels too clinical. Sessions run rain-or-shine with a backup plan for bad weather, and no particular fitness level is required.
