Therapy services for Reston, VA

Reston is built around the idea that home, work, and nature shouldn’t be far apart — walking paths into Reston Town Center, a dense concentration of tech and government-contracting offices nearby, and a community used to moving at a fast pace. That pace doesn’t leave much room for the conversations couples and individuals need to have about desire, connection, or what’s happening internally after a hard year.

Cushing Counseling offers secure telehealth sessions throughout Virginia, giving Reston clients access to the same specialized sex therapy, couples counseling, and trauma-informed care available across Northern Virginia — without adding a commute to an already full schedule.

Services available to Reston clients

• Sex therapy for low desire, mismatched libido, sexual pain, and performance anxiety
• Couples therapy for communication breakdowns, infidelity recovery, and reconnecting after a rupture
• IFS-based trauma therapy for PTSD, religious trauma, betrayal trauma, and sexual trauma
• Support for men’s and women’s sexual health concerns, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation

Why Reston clients choose Cushing Counseling

Many Reston clients work in fields that reward analysis and problem-solving, which can make it harder, not easier, to sit with something that doesn’t resolve with more effort.

Our clinical approach centers Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, not EMDR, giving clients a trauma-informed, non-pathologizing framework for understanding the patterns and protections that logic alone hasn’t been able to shift.

Telehealth options

Reston clients meet with us by secure telehealth from anywhere in Virginia. Most clients find a video session easier to protect on a packed calendar than a drive to an office.
