What Virginia Clients Say

Virginia Beach
My husband is deployed out of Norfolk, and it's impossible to coordinate an in-person session around the kids' schedules. My Calmerry therapist is a former military spouse, and she understands the unique challenges. The privacy and flexibility are non-negotiable for my family.

Arlington
Working on Capitol Hill means I often feel like I can’t tell anyone what’s actually stressing me out. Having a therapist who understands the high-stakes, security-focused culture of NoVA, and who keeps things completely confidential, is a massive relief.

The in-person counseling shortage in my area of Central Virginia is real. I was quoted a 6-month waitlist. Calmerry got me started almost immediately with a licensed professional. It’s the most efficient and affordable option when you need help now.

I travel frequently for my job as a government contractor. The ability to switch between video sessions when I'm home and asynchronous text support when I'm traveling makes consistent care possible. It's the only way I can maintain a schedule.
