Our Psychotherapy Roots

Psychotherapy is one of the oldest forms of medicine and originated in Ancient Greece. Research shows that a “healthy mind in a healthy body” was the main component of the Hippocratic philosophy which governed medicine in antiquity. We see our mission in the world as a continuation of this holistic, ancient Greek worldview and focus on alleviating suffering of mind and thought.

Our Practice Founder

Nick Junes, LCSW, M.Div

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the Commonwealth of Virginia (License #0904015104). I have a Master's of Social Work (MSW) from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), a Master's of Divinity (M.Div) from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, and a B.A. from Hampden-Sydney College. I have completed professional trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Gottman Method Couples Counseling. I have worked with with individuals and couples in a variety of settings including private practice, community service boards, the Veteran's Affairs (VA) Hospital, and Greek Orthodox churches. I am a member of the American Counselors Association (ACA).

I originally wanted to devote myself to pastoral work as an Orthodox priest, but after falling in love with my Pastoral Counseling classes at seminary and discerning God's will for my life, I decided to pivot into psychotherapy. I am passionate about providing counseling services to those walking through and grappling with the human condition - with all of its highs, lows, criss-crosses, in-betweens, and diagonals. In addition to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and overwhelm, I enjoy working with cancer patients and families by using my own experience as a cancer survivor to help others.
