We are here to help you navigate these intense times with good humor and good research-based care. Please consider this blog a way of getting to know our team on a more informal basis and a resource to help you find what you’re looking for. Today’s is our first post! I, Ellie, am pleased to share with you some insider information on how Virginia Wellness Associates came into being.
I have always thought that the body and the brain are too connected to be treated separately. As a lifelong athlete who struggled with the intense pressure of growing up in the Northern Virginia area, I have been a life-long supporter of nutrition, exercise, therapy, and sometimes medication in order to achieve optimal wellness. This formula has worked well for me throughout the years and now I am so happy to be offering this solution to clients in Virginia and elsewhere through our virtual platform. Our team is dedicated to improving lives through quality care.
A little more about me – I am a mother of two small children and have been navigating COVID precautions and the resulting childcare crisis as best I can while working as a therapist. It has been hard. Virginia Wellness Associates is here to make it easier. I will be personally supervising the team to assure that the standards of care that are so important to long-term success are more than met, they are surpassed. I am happy that we are able to offer not only quality therapeutic services, but personal training, nutrition guidance, and mentoring services to our clients. It’s tough trying to get to where you want to go and VWA is already making it easier to navigate the mental health care shortage and crisis by offering flexible scheduling and complimentary services so that the client can make progress at their own pace in their own way.
Thanks for visiting our blog and I look forward to sharing more as we all move forward together.
Best,
Ellie Moran, LPC
