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)
