Margreta Grady, LCSW

My goal is to ensure you feel valued and respected. As a highly experienced and ethical therapist, I will provide personalised, thoughtful care to help teens 13 and above, adults, and seniors address symptoms that are getting in their way, or just cope with life events.

You will feel safe with me because as a licensed therapist with over 25 years working with all sorts of people, your concerns will not surprise me, and chances are good that I have worked with similar issues in the past. I have direct experience working with symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, ODD, etc., as well as neurodivergent folks who have or are exploring an autism diagnosis. More importantly, I'm going to tailor our sessions to what you need, based on skills developed over decades, and wisdom to go along with the skills. Even though we are only seeing each other online, you are not just a face or a number to me, you are someone in need, and I want to help you meet your goals.

I will have availability beginning in July, 2026, and I am very excited about meeting you and helping you learn to feel safe, deepen your trust in the therapeutic process, and help you make changes in your life so that you can find your joy and move from stuck to thriving.

I have worked with children as young as 4 and seniors into their eighties, trauma survivors, military members, LGTBQ? folks, those walking through grief, and those experience symptoms of common mental health disorders. I have experience with multiple therapy approaches, including solution focused (short term), CBT, psychodynamic approaches, play therapy, family systems theory, art therapy, etc. As an approved LCSW supervisor in the state of Virginia, I teach therapists how to be excellent therapists. I love to teach but I am also an astute listener. I have years of experience working in public schools, so if needed I can help you with the special education process in Virginia and anything you'd like to know about how the schools can best serve your child.

I am currently earning my M.Div at Virginia Theological Seminary, in Alexandria Virginia, and hope to be ordained as a pastor within the next 4 years. I am a progressive Christian, and am happy to talk about spiritual issues, faith and God in whatever way works for your tradition. I am also happy to leave those things out of the conversation completely. Therapy can be hard, and it can definitely be uncomfortable to grow, but it is for you, and I want you feel comfortable with how it is provided.

For teens, I would wish to meet with a parent together with the teen for the first session and around once per month after that. Just because we are online does not mean we can't use approaches other than just talking . We can decide together how to use art or games as part of our process. For adults, we will go at your own pace, but I find weekly therapy is best when services are first starting. Due to potential conflicts, I am unable to see students attending Fauquier County Public Schools. I do not provide court testimony. I do not provide on call crisis intervention, and I expect my clients to reach out to local emergency services if they are in crisis. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.

Please reach out to me to take that first step on your journey to wholeness. Allow me 24 - 48 hours to get back to you once you reach out. I am looking forward to meeting you. I am in the process of credenitalling with Alma to take insurance. If you would like to e-mail me before I'm appearing not he Alma website, we can discuss how to get started with your therapy. I will take most major insurances, private pay, and can provide superbills for out of network services.
