Allswell is a virtual therapy practice specializing in LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed care. Therapy with Allswell means you won't spend your sessions explaining terms your therapist should already understand or wondering whether it's safe to mention your partner. Our therapists understand that context from the start, so your time can go toward what actually brought you in, whether that's anxiety, your relationships, gender, or something you're still finding the words for.
What we offer

Allswell's Services in Virginia

Allswell offers virtual care to clients across Virginia, from the Northern Virginia suburbs of Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax to Richmond, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the communities in between. 

Because care is fully virtual, you can work with a Virginia-licensed therapist no matter where in the state you live. Allswell provides two main services: individual online therapy and support groups, both grounded in LGBTQ+ affirming care.

Online, individual LGBTQ+ therapy

Individual therapy is one-on-one work between you and a licensed therapist, held over secure video. Your sessions are a private space to talk through whatever brought you to therapy, set goals, and work toward them at a pace that feels right. 

Your first session, called a Welcome Session, runs 60 minutes, and ongoing sessions are 45 minutes, typically weekly. Every Allswell therapist is trained in LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed care, so you can bring your full self to your therapy sessions. 

Online LGBTQ+ support groups

Support groups run for 6 weeks and bring together small groups of people working through similar experiences, guided by an Allswell therapist. 

Support groups offer something individual therapy can't: the chance to connect with others who understand what you're dealing with. Groups meet virtually, and our Care Coordinators can let you know which ones are currently open and whether one fits your treatment plan.

What Allswell Treats or Can Help You Work Through in Virginia

You can start therapy for any reason and at any point. You don't need to be in crisis, and you don't need a specific diagnosis to begin. That said, these are some of the concerns our Virginia therapists support most often.
This isn't a complete list, and you don't need to see your exact situation here before reaching out. If you're dealing with something we haven't mentioned, book a free consultation, and we'll talk through whether Allswell is a good fit.

Mental health and emotional wellbeing

When life feels heavy, flat, or harder than it should, a therapist can help you understand what’s happening and work toward small, sustainable changes that help you feel more like yourself.
Our therapists use evidence-based approaches to help you process traumatic experiences and reduce the hold that memories, fear, or physical reactions have on your daily life.
Trauma, including generational trauma
Some trauma comes from what you’ve lived through, while some is carried through families and communities. Therapy can help you recognize those patterns and begin separating what’s yours from what was handed to you.
Grief
Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years, therapy gives you space to grieve without being rushed or told what moving forward should look like.
A therapist can help you understand where criticism or discomfort with your body came from and build a relationship with it that feels less punishing and exhausting.

Identity and coming out

Therapy can be a pressure-free place to explore your gender, try out language, and notice what feels authentic to you. Your therapist won’t push you toward a label, transition, or any particular outcome.
Coming out
Whether you’re thinking about coming out to family, friends, or coworkers, a therapist can help you decide what feels right, consider your safety, and prepare for the conversations on your own terms.
Racial identity
Your race, culture, gender, and sexuality shape each other, sometimes in ways that are hard to untangle. Maybe you've felt like the only person of color in a queer space, or like your family and your queer community expect different things from you. Therapy can help you make sense of all of it, without treating any one part of your identity as the whole story.

Relationships, Sex, and Family

Relationship issues, including breakups, jealousy, and infidelity
Therapy can help you move through heartbreak, understand jealousy, recover from broken trust, or change patterns that keep pulling your relationships into the same painful place.
Open relationships, polyamory, and non-monogamy
Our therapists understand non-monogamous relationships, so no partner gets treated as secondary or less important than another. You can talk openly about partners, metamours, agreements, and jealousy without having to explain the basics first.
Sex and intimacy, including exploring your sexuality, kink, and BDSM
Therapy offers a sex-positive, nonjudgmental space to talk about desire, intimacy, shame, boundaries, or what you’re curious about. Kink and BDSM are approached through consent, safety, and what’s actually working for you.
Family relationships
Whether you’re dealing with tension with relatives, grieving rejection, building chosen family, or setting difficult boundaries, therapy can help you decide what connection and support should look like in your life.
Parenting
Our therapists can support you through the everyday realities of parenting, including co-parenting, blended or polyamorous families, and conversations with children about identity or family structure.

Life, Work, and Health

Career and work stress, including burnout
Therapy can help when work has left you exhausted, detached, or unable to recover. You can also work through workplace conflict or discrimination, set more realistic boundaries, or think through a career change.
Life transitions
A move, new job, breakup, coming out, transition, or change in your family can make familiar parts of life feel uncertain. Therapy can offer steady support while you adjust and work out what comes next.
Chronic illness and disabilities
Living with chronic illness or disability can affect your energy, relationships, independence, and sense of self. Our therapists can help you process this and navigate healthcare, work, and other systems that aren’t always built with you in mind. 
This isn't a complete list, and you don't need to see your exact situation here before reaching out. If you're dealing with something we haven't mentioned, book a free consultation, and we'll talk through whether Allswell is a good fit.

OUR APPROACH

How Allswell Approaches Care

Underneath the warmth, Allswell runs on real clinical structure. Here's what holds true no matter what brings you in:
Icon of two hands reaching towards each other on a blue circular background, symbolizing support and connection.

Affirming care is built into the standard of care.

The American Psychological Association and WPATH recognize affirming care as a professional standard. Allswell screens for it during hiring, trains therapists in it afterward, and continues to reinforce it through clinical supervision, so the quality of your care doesn't depend on which therapist you're matched with.

Proven methods are adapted to your treatment plan.

Approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are backed by decades of evidence. Allswell therapists adapt them to your identity, circumstances, and goals rather than expecting you to fit neatly into a standard method.

Trauma care is active, structured, and paced.

Trauma-informed care here means more than creating a gentle environment. Allswell provides structured trauma treatment, with Written Exposure Therapy (WET) as a primary approach. WET is brief and carefully guided, and deeper processing begins only after you and your therapist have built enough steadiness to take it on safely.

Support groups are part of the plan.

Small, therapist-led support groups run alongside individual therapy. You'll meet with the same group over a six-week cycle, learn practical skills, and have space for the parts of healing that can only happen in connection with other people.

We measure progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

You'll complete brief, validated check-ins when you begin and about every 60 days after that, and your therapist will review the results with you. If something isn't changing, the treatment plan changes with it.

Meet Allswell's Virginia-Licensed Therapists

Every Allswell therapist is carefully vetted for their clinical experience and their ability to provide genuinely affirming care. We look for therapists with real experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients, including transgender and non-binary clients, and training in evidence-based approaches like eye movement desensitizing and reprocessing (EMDR), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and more. 

When you start with Allswell, you'll be matched with a therapist licensed in Virginia who fits what you're looking for.
