### Resident in Counseling

![](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Headshot.png)

Hi, my name is Adriane Skillman and I want you to know that you are brave! I offer [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services at our [Arlington, VA](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/arlington-va.md) clinic!

As a Resident in Counseling and former military spouse I am committed to providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals that are navigating the many challenges in life. I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a wide range of emotional and life challenges. If you’re ready to start, or even if you just have questions, I invite you to reach out.

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or or life transitions, I am here to support you in your journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth. My approach is tailored to each client’s needs, integrating evidence based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based counseling.

You don’t have to have everything figured out to start therapy. You might be overwhelmed, unsure, hopeful, or all of the above and that’s completely okay. If you’re looking for clarity, healing, or simply someone to talk to, we can take this next step together at a pace that feels right for you.
