Reston · Virtual therapy

Narcissistic abuse therapist in Reston, VA

When you still replay the conversation

You may have left the relationship, or you may still be in contact with a former partner, a parent, or a co-parent. Either way, you might find yourself rereading messages, rehearsing what you should have said, or wondering whether you're remembering things right. Maybe you stay calm and capable at work, and then feel drained the minute you get home.

These reactions make sense after someone has repeatedly dismissed or twisted your experience. In therapy, you can slow down and look at what happened without having to prove it was "bad enough." Together you'll work on trusting your own perceptions again, noticing old patterns, and practicing boundaries that fit your life. Learn more about narcissistic abuse recovery therapy in Virginia.

Anxiety and low mood often come along

After a painful relationship, worry and second-guessing can spill into everything, from a message from your manager to a weekend plan with friends. Some people feel flat, tired, or unmotivated instead. Jami also treats anxiety and depression, and you can work on them alongside abuse recovery. If worry is the main thing you want help with, you can read about anxiety therapy in Reston.

Online sessions that work with a Reston schedule

All sessions take place by secure video. There is no Reston office and no in-person appointment, so there's no traffic on Reston Parkway or parking at Town Center to plan around. You just need a private spot where you can talk freely, like a home office, a quiet bedroom, or a parked car somewhere safe and private.

Because Jami is licensed in Virginia, you need to be physically in Virginia during each session. If you work in DC or Maryland, plan to join from home or from somewhere else in Virginia, not from your office there.

Fees

Sessions are $175 each, self-pay. If you have out-of-network benefits, Jami can give you a superbill to submit to your insurer; reimbursement depends on your plan. Jami is also in network with UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and Aetna, and coverage varies by plan. You can ask about fees and insurance during your free consultation. See fees & insurance.

Can I have a session from my office in DC or Maryland?

What can therapy help with after a narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationship?

Therapy can help you make sense of what happened, quiet the self-doubt, rebuild trust in your own judgment, and practice setting limits with an ex, a co-parent, or family. You set the pace, and you don't have to make any big decisions before you start.

Do I have to use insurance?
