Our Vision
Sacred Joy Psychotherapy is a boutique practice founded by
Dr. Natasha Anatolian to create accessible mental health services across the state of Virginia that are specially customized to meet clients where they are. She and her staff are proud to offer an alternative to traditional counseling by providing in-depth, personalized, and transformative therapy.​
What is Sacred Joy?
Sacred Joy is the promise that you are always connected to the quiet power that exists within each of us, an inner knowing that joy, peace, and love are endlessly available to us regardless of any external conditions.
​
In therapy, Sacred Joy is an approach that creates a space for growth and self-discovery. Where you are supported in exploring your innermost thoughts and feelings, allowing you to gain clarity and insight. As you connect with your authentic self, you begin to cultivate a deep sense of love and acceptance. The best part is that this practice of self-love begins to ripple outward, fostering compassion and understanding toward others and the world at large.
So, you see, Sacred Joy is a state of mind.
Our Philosophy at
The Heart of Our Practice
At the core of everything we do is a deep commitment to fostering meaningful connections and creating lasting impact. We believe that a thoughtful approach and a shared vision are essential to achieving professional excellence and helping our clients transform their lives.
Our philosophy focuses on collaboration, integrity, and service to others, and those principles guide our every interaction.
Excellence
Our experience is derived from the culmination of years of professional and educational dedication to our vocation, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards of ethical integrity, privacy, and discretion.
Quality
We pride ourselves on providing “real” therapy. We go beyond generic worksheets and surface-level progress. We dig in and do the work so that our clients experience relief sooner, which is why preparation, knowledge, and expertise are key qualities of our therapy practice.
Commitment
Our clients' well-being is our driving purpose, which is why we do our best to be available to them whenever the need arises. Since therapy is an interactive, collaborative experience, we want our patients to be able to get the help they need when they need it.
Here you are! In the sacred present. I can’t heal you—or anyone—but I can celebrate your choice to dismantle the prison in your mind, brick by brick. You can’t change what happened, you can’t change what you did or what was done to you. But you can choose how you live now. My precious, you can choose to be free. – Dr. Edith Eva Eger.
