Virtual treatment available: DMA outpatient programs can also be accessed via online telehealth services.
The setting for our Fairfax Station mental health facility is a stately home with six bedrooms and 7-1/2 baths. Here, we serve female patients ranging in age from 10 to 18. Our residential center is convenient to Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, McLean and other Fairfax County locations. In addition to our program in Fairfax Station, we have another Virginia residential home in Annandale and an outpatient center in Fairfax. Our treatment program focuses on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills designed to empower clients to develop and exercise their decision-making skills.
The School Support Program is offered to young patients, where an education liaison supervises and supports them through their schoolwork. The education liaison also collaborates with the patient’s therapist to ensure they have the right environment in place for learning, which will in turn help them reintegrate into their school after treatment.
This quiet town in Fairfax County is less than an hour from Washington, D.C. The facility is located next to Burke Lake Park just off of Burke Lake Road between highway 123 and Fairfax County Parkway.
Insurances we accept at this location include but are not limited to Aetna, Beacon, Cigna, Kaiser, Optum, and Unicare. Please remember that the insurances we accept change frequently. Our insurance team will verify your coverage.
