OTR Wellness

OTR Wellness OTR is a nonprofit providing trauma informed counseling & First Responder Support Services. OTR accepts BCBS AETNA, Cigna, Tricare, Magellan, and Amerihealth.

We are a woman owned private practice that opened our doors in 2008 specializing in trauma related issues providing mental health counseling, consultation, training, and supervision. Our staff have varied backgrounds and all have trauma treatment backgrounds (PTSD) and experience including first responders, military, general life stress, relationships (including domestic violence), LGBTQ+ issues, grief, anxieties, and depression. We have an integrative approach, as not every client responds well to the same techniques. Our team also provides services such as wellness checks, therapy, and debrief groups for federal and local law enforcement/public safety/first responders of any type, humanitarian aid/disaster workers, frontline healthcare workers, journalists covering military or federal conflict areas or disasters, and military personnel and their families. OTR has been involved in projects, trainings and supportive services involving topics of trauma such as domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, as well as first responder mental health through our training of professionals as well as community and agency presentations. We maintain connections with EAPs and outside agencies as an option for mental health referral or support. (Located in DC and Old Town Alexandria, VA)

🚨🚔🚒OTR’s Virginia office has lost power along with a good portion of Old Town Alexandria. Power may be out until 5pm, or later, or earlier. Our friends from Fire Department, City of Alexandria, VA & Police Department, City of Alexandria, Virginia are working on it. Therefore, some of your appointments may be canceled.
Doc F (And Bruce) will still be in the office for various reasons as she is well practiced in providing therapy in the dark. 🔦

Bruce helped OTR’s Doc F and Yolanda with Fredericksburg Police Department’s Peer Support Meeting today. He waited patiently for his friends on the bench in the lobby then provided plenty of laughs that are always needed for the stress flowing through our nervous system.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our therapy dog Bruce! 2 years of lots of love and smiles.
Since Bruce is a Leap Year baby he gets to celebrate all week if there is no 29th. So he thinks February 25th is always the Just Right day for cake. So today he got his cake at the office and was sang to by his OTR aunties on duty today. 💙 He deserves It!
Thanks Paws & Joy Pet Bakery!

❄️🥶Bruce wanted to make the first paw prints in the snow and take in the silence of the night. 🐾
We also wanted to remind you to let your therapist know if you are held over at work, held hostage by your children being home again for a snow day, or stuck in your neighborhood and need to cancel or go virtual! And please be mindful that your therapist may have the same issue! 😬
