Welcome to Wonderologie!
Child and family therapy based in Alexandria, Virginia
At Wonderologie, we focus on helping children, adolescents, and their families through anxiety, depression, autism, chronic illness and/or extended hospitalizations, and other life stressors. We apply a variety of modalities, such as client-centered, play therapy, CBT, and DBT, while integrating the theories of Adler, Gestalt, and Existentialism. Each session is different and wholly dedicated to the client’s needs at that particular time.
In addition to our six experienced clinicians offering individual therapy, we offer group sessions for a variety of age ranges. We are located in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, VA.
