Who We Serve
As a major hub directly adjacent to Washington, D.C., and Fort Belvoir, many federal employees, military personnel, and defense contractors make Alexandria their home. These high-pressure employments commonly result in burnout, complex work-related anxiety, hyper-vigilance, and trauma. Whether you need help navigating “security clearance anxiety”, job stress, work-life balance, trauma, or relationships, Lifebulb’s Alexandria therapists and psychiatrists can help. We use evidence-backed and proven therapy modalities like EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to get results.

If you or a family member serves in our military, then you acutely understand the profound isolation, lack of social support network, identity loss, and relationship strain that constantly moving can bring. Neighborhoods like Old Town, Del Ray, and West End are home to many transient military families, making Alexandria a fast-paced but sometimes lonely and overwhelming place to make home. If you and your family are struggling, talk therapy can help. Lifeublb offers individual therapy, couples counseling, and family therapy for service members in Alexandria. We have online and in-person sessions available.

Lifebulb’s Alexandria offices are equipped to help young adults and teenagers navigate the pressures of academia while helping them achieve their goals and set them up for a healthy, successful future.

Rebekah
I highly recommend Lifebulb. This resource helps connect people to professional counselors which is so helpful especially in days like these. Its so incredibly important to have a good counselor to talk with. A good counselor will connect with you and talk you through lifes problems and situations as they arise. A good counselor will also help you process and understand things from a healthy perspective. Its so helpful to have a professional insight and not just biased personal opinions like what family and friends sometimes offer. Its so important to process our thoughts in a healthy way, talking things out and putting all the peices together so we can have a clear picture, a goal and more targeted communication which helps all our relationships. Wishing all reading this review you find someone you can connect with and learn from and grow into your best you.

Your first session with a Lifebulb therapist or counselor won't simply be a background or demographic information-gathering session. We know deciding to get help is a big deal and a difficult step. That's why our first offline or online therapy session with you will be about providing you with the help you're seeking and proving that the therapy process can work with the right effort and commitment from both sides.
We believe getting access to a therapist or counselor should be quick and easy. So our process is straightforward. Simply browse our therapists' bios to find the right fit for you and schedule a virtual counseling or in-person counseling session online. Or call our office, and a team member can help make sure you're matched with the right therapist or counselor for you and your goals. Whether online therapy or offline therapy, your therapist will help you with an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your specific goals.
If you are experiencing an emergency, please call 911 immediately.
While Lifebulb is not a crisis center and Lifebulb therapists and counselors are not emergency services, we understand that urgent matters can and will pop up from time to time. You will have direct email and phone access to your therapist, who will make their best effort to be available to you when you reach out. Depending on your specific treatment plan, your therapist may provide you with resources to use or contact when situations occur beyond the scope of your online therapy or offline therapy work together.
Booking a session with us is easy and flexible, with several options. You can call our office, and a team member can book you with the best fit-in therapist. We'll review insurance information and a few simple policies and email you a confirmation of your session date and time, whether in-person or virtual. Or you can select your ideal therapist from our website, select a session time that works for you, and we'll reach out to you to confirm your appointment details.
We have a flexible cancellation policy. Call our office or reach out to your counselor or therapist 24 hours or more before your online therapy session time to cancel or reschedule any appointment at no cost.
We take the responsibility of maintaining your privacy seriously. Lifebulb is considered a covered entity under HIPAA guidelines, which means we are subject to all HIPAA rules and regulations.

At Lifebulb, we are extremely selective about the therapists we hire because we know choosing the right therapist can make all the difference in our clients reaching their goals. Our therapists are all educated at the masters level and above and have received several years of hands-on training before becoming fully licensed clinicians. Even among the pool of highly trained therapists, we only work with those who align with our core values. That way, we know your therapist will go the extra mile to help you and offer the best online therapy or in-person counseling.
