from traditional clinical excellence to immersive experiential healing.
Our Services
Talk Therapy Sessions
For individuals, couples and families seeking one on one sessions. 50-90 minute options. Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. In office sessions are available in Leesburg, VA. Virtual telehealth services also available.
Initial evaluation sessions are $225. After your evaluation, your clinician will recommend a course of treatment with details on frequency, duration and investment options. For clients receiving treatment in Virginia and DC, sessions are reimbursable through your insurance.
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Harness the power of the human-horse relationship with equine-assisted sessions. No riding or experience required. EAP sessions use the observations of and relationship with the horses to illuminate the client’s inner world, allowing the client to reflect on themselves and their experiences. EAP is particularly effective for clients hoping to process trauma with less words than in traditional talk therapy. Schedule an initial evaluation session to determine if EAP sessions are a good fit for your therapeutic needs.
Therapeutic Intensives
Join us in bucolic Leesburg, Virginia for a 1-3 day intensive. Intensives are a way to jumpstart your therapeutic work by creating a foundation in a condensed amount of time. They are customizable based on clinical indications and client preferences, with options to combine traditional talk therapy sessions with experiential equine-assisted sessions. For individuals, couples and families.
Confessional Community™ Group Therapy
Confessional Community™ is a form of group therapy, developed by Dr. Curt Thompson and Courtney Morrison, LCSW. Conceptualized through interpersonal neurobiology, narrative therapy and Christian spiritual formation, Confessional Communities™(CC) invite clients to tell their life's story more truly and experience being deeply known by others.
Who are CCs for?
There is no ideal client for CC group therapy. However, a CC invites clients to be open to emotional vulnerability, asks them to describe what is happening in their bodies and minds about what they are experiencing, and requires an ability to self reflect and brave the possibility of rupture with others to facilitate the repair and healing process. This work is significant, and sometimes, having engaged in individual therapy first can prepare clients to receive the fullness that a CC can offer. Every client that applies for a seat in our CC will undergo a one-session assessment with one of our practitioners to ensure that a CC is a wise, clinically informed decision.
What can participants expect in a CC led by a mental-health practitioner?
All CC's offered at Kota Health are led by licensed mental-health practitioners. Unlike other lay-led or community groups where the main goal is mutual support, our CCs focus on therapeutic healing and growth through targeted psychodynamic interventions. Our clinicians are highly trained and experienced in identifying and helping people work through behavioral patterns, self-limiting narratives, and emotional triggers from past traumas. Clinicians are practiced in guiding clients through the rupture and repair process, which is vital to the overall experience and benefit of group therapy.
Because sessions are led by mental-health practitioners, session fees are reimbursable through your medical insurance. Please contact your insurance company and ask what percentage your plan reimburses for out-of-network mental health services.
