Access therapy Services

Hello! We are happy you’re here.

Currently, our team provides free telehealth therapy services for young adults ages 17-32 residing in Virginia, Maryland and DC.

ACTNow for Mental Health (ANMH) prides itself on being a teaching organization that utilizes and trains Master's level graduate students in various therapy treatments including CBT, DBT, ACT, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic, Art Therapy, and Trauma Informed Care.

Many of our therapists at ANMH are Master's level graduate students from various accredited colleges and universities, and though they are with ANMH for a limited time, the services they provide are just as robust and comprehensive as licensed therapists. In fact, a study from 2013 found that the clients of student therapists improved just as significantly as clients of licensed professionals while in treatment for anxiety, depression and other mental disorders.

Our student therapists have historically been with ANMH from August to May, allowing our clients to access services for an average of 36 weeks! On occasion, our student therapists will be available for less time, however, it is our policy that all new potential clients are informed of this before they begin services so they may make an informed decision on whether they would like to begin services or wait for a new cohort of interns with greater availability.

ANMH is best suited for individuals who may be struggling with:

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

  • Relationship Issues

  • Identity Issues

  • Life Transitions

ANMH is not best suited to serve those who require:

  • Continued inpatient care

  • Treatment related to current legal issues 

  • Consultation for educational planning (e.g., learning disability accommodations) 

  • Assistance with substance misuse, abuse or dependency

  • Psychological evaluation or testing for the purposes of accommodations or special education privileges in schools, or any legal situations, under any circumstance.

Please fill out the form below and a member of our team will reach out to you in 1-2 business days to speak about scheduling an initial session.
