More than a Practice—A Community for Growth

At Loudoun Counseling Services (LCS), therapy is more than talk—it’s a connection. We’re a team of compassionate, skilled clinicians offering inclusive mental health support for every stage of life. Whether you’re facing stress, trauma, or simply seeking support, we meet you where you are with care and clarity.

Our story

Where Change Becomes Opportunity

Founded in 2024 by Tracy Carter, LPC, Loudoun Counseling Services began as a solo practice rooted in a passion for dedicated, inclusive, and effective mental health care. Since then, LCS has grown into a collaborative group practice serving Loudoun County and surrounding areas, grounded in a shared mission to meet clients with empathy and clinical excellence. We serve individuals aged 6 and up with personalized care that supports the whole person—and the whole family system.

Care That's Personalized

LCS is intentionally different. We combine clinical excellence with warmth and relatability—so therapy doesn’t feel intimidating or one-size-fits-all.

Here’s what makes us stand out:

  • Deep community roots
  • In-house referrals and teamwork across specialties
  • Thoughtfully curated resources for everyone who visits

Therapy for Every Stage of Life

We support individuals ages 6 and up—including adults, teens, children, couples, and families. Whether you’re a parent seeking help for your child, navigating life transitions, or working through long-term patterns, we’ll help match you with a clinician who fits your needs.

Experts Who Lead With Empathy
