Therapy for Ambitious Adults and New & Expecting Parents in Tysons, Virginia
In my Tysons, VA office, I help ambitious adults and new and expecting parents navigate anxiety, postpartum challenges, and the unique pressures of cultural expectations, so you can show up fully in every area of your life.
You don’t want to hear another opinion about what you “should be” doing. The noise of opinions around you makes it hard to hear what is that YOU want.
What others don’t know is that the weight of carrying high expectations and cultural pressure can take a toll on your mental health. You struggle sharing how you truly feel for fear of being judged and shamed. You work beyond your limits to prove your worthiness.
And in a timely fashion, life has thrown you a curveball, a new baby, a job, a relocation, or a recent breakup, and it’s left you thinking “no one prepared me for this”.
How is therapy going to help?
With culturally responsive therapy in Northern Virginia, we can get you closer to feeling like you again. Using mindfulness-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we can calm the anxiety and reduce the overwhelm so you can gain clarity on what you need in this challenging phase.
With therapy for relationships and life transitions, we can equip you with the communication tools you need to handle the hard conversations that have been buried for too long and unpack the generational traumas that linger beneath.
With specialized training in postpartum anxiety and depression, we can support you in becoming calm and connected as you transform into the new you.
Hi, I’m Tayyibah Chase, LMFT, PMH-C, and I specialize in working with ambitious adults and new & expecting parents who are navigating social and cultural pressures, life shifts, and demanding work environments. Through anxiety therapy, I’ll help you put your mind at ease, focus on your intentions, and quiet the noise of the “shoulds.”
My Approach
As a therapist, I believe that the best results come from starting with a trusting relationship. I use a combination of evidence - based talk therapy strategies, mindfulness-based techniques, and creativity to support clients with easing emotional overwhelm, pregnancy, and postpartum concerns and anxiety.
How it works:
Schedule a consult call
The beginning stages of therapy are all about getting to know you so that I can better support you and your needs. We learn about your past and present so that we can set goals for the future. We’ll do a comprehensive assessment and set realistic goals that will guide you throughout your therapy journey.
This is the nitty-gritty, and to be honest, it isn’t always pretty. During the middle phase of therapy, is when we try new things like communication techniques, mindfulness, and habit building. It’s tough at first, but effective change doesn’t happen easily. But don’t worry when you try something new that works it feels really good.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
No. I, like many other private practice owners, do not take insurance. However, I can provide a superbill that clients can submit to their insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. I can also provide a guide that helps you inquire about your potential out-of-network benefits.
-
The short answer is that our healthcare system significantly undervalues our work by limiting the number of sessions, requiring extensive paperwork, very little pay, and limited confidentiality for the client. Therefore, until the kinks in this system are worked out, I will not be taking insurance.
-
I prefer to start with weekly sessions until we have reached the maintenance phase of therapy. Then, when clients feel ready, we discuss the option of biweekly sessions.
-
Not currently.

I'm happy to walk you through the process. Check out my blog on how to make use of out-of-network benefits.

I do not offer a sliding scale, but here are some options I do have available:
• I do accept Loveland Foundation vouchers which provide Black women and girls with vouchers to help cover the cost of therapy. Visit their website here.
• I keep 20% of my caseload for Black women who are students, parents, unemployed, or work in social service fields (non-profits, education, etc.) to receive therapy at half the cost.
• If you have a PPO insurance plan, you may be able to get partial reimbursement for the out-of-pocket costs of therapy. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to them for reimbursement.
-
I use a HIPAA-compliant platform called Simple Practice to do all sessions. Before your appointment, a video link will be sent to your email to give you access to the video session. It's like Zoom for therapists. You can use the Simple Practice client portal to request or cancel appointments and access superbills and other documents.
