Fairfax Mental Health Center

Managing your medication is a crucial aspect of your treatment journey. If our team recommends medication, our dedicated medication provider will work closely with you until you establish a consistent provider. If you already have an external provider or psychotherapist and wish to maintain their guidance during Sandstone IOP, we’ll need a release to ensure seamless integrated care.

Yes! We encourage all new clients to complete an Insurance Verification to see if we accept your health insurance. Please note that we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

Yes. Substance abuse is often a symptom of a deeper mental health struggle or challenge, which is why our outpatient programming addresses both problems simultaneously. By getting to the root cause of the issue, we can help our clients reach longer-lasting and more sustainable recovery results. If addiction is severe and must be addressed first, you may benefit from an inpatient medical detox program instead. Sandstone Care offers the detox level of care right here in Virginia, bypassing any need for referrals.

Please note that we do not treat eating disorders.

Our teen (13-18) and young adult (18-30) Mental Health outpatient treatment is a comprehensive outpatient program that meets 4 times a week. We prioritize small groups and focus on a well-balanced recovery.

Group therapy sessions are led by licensed professional counselors, clinicians, and medical providers. These professionals also provide medication management, psychotherapy, and weekly evaluations. Clinical groups are a combination of evidence based therapies like DBT, CBT, and EMDR, as well as person-centered process groups. In process groups, we work on self-esteem, identity, life transitions, and other challenges to help you make positive changes in your life.

We also offer HIPAA-compliant online therapy and short-term telehealth options (AKA, teletherapy) to best fit your schedule.

Family plays a vital role in the overall wellness of each person. Individual family therapy sessions are offered bi-weekly to examine the family’s role in their loved one’s recovery. We believe that connection is key to success in recovery, so the family is taken into heavy consideration throughout treatment.

We also ensure that family members are well supported through our weekly multi-family groups. The groups encourage families to interact with and hear from one another as they navigate the similar experience of having a loved one go through treatment.

You can begin the process of receiving mental health treatment and counseling services by calling our admissions department. If you or a loved one are experiencing an emergency mental health crisis, please call the suicide prevention crisis line at 988.

Our care team is an integrated team of mental health professionals with years of experience to inform their treatment philosophies. Together, they collaborate with each client to help them reach their goals. They will also coordinate with your primary care doctor to ensure the proper treatment plan is selected. Our team consists of licensed clinicians, medical providers, and a teacher.

Please note we do not employ licensed clinical social workers, offer life coaching, or provide therapy from licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT).
