Getting to know Arlene Pitchford

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing inpatient and outpatient counseling and crisis intervention for individuals experiencing substance abuse and mental health challenges. I specialize in working with adults-from late teens to older men and women-who are facing substance use disorders, depression, trauma, grief, and seeking to improve mindfulness. I hold a Master of Education in School Counseling from Virginia State University. I have a passion for helping people become the best version of themselves and believe that a sense of humor can be a valuable part of the therapeutic process. I am known for building strong rapport with clients, and I look forward to earning your trust as you work through your concerns. Typical treatment modalities I use include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered approaches that emphasize deep listening and non-directive support. Appointments are typically held weekly, and you can view my availability on the posted schedule. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session. I'm truly glad you've taken this first step. With support and guidance, I believe you can make great progress, and I look forward to accompanying you on this journey!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
