"Better Morning emerged as an outpatient counseling practice in Ashburn, VA and is home to passionate mental health professionals dedicated to helping others. Since our establishment in 2014, we have been committed to providing high quality, focused, professional services to individuals and families in the Northern Virginia and Washington DC area. In addition to providing counseling from the Ashburn office, Better Morning started off providing Community Based Intervention (CBI), level II and III, services to youth between the ages of 6 and 21. Better Morning adheres to the CBI practice guidelines as set forth by the Department of Behavioral health and accepts referrals from Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA), Court Social Services( CSS), Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services( DYRS). In August of 2017, Better Morning expanded, becoming certified by the DC Department of Behavioral Health to operate as a Core Service Agency (CSA) to serve the needs of people with mental illnesses in the District of Columbia. This allowed us to begin providing a range of services to those living with mental illnesses including community support services to assist with learning the skills necessary to manage daily life and successfully achieve their goals. Better Morning also provides individual, couple, family and group counseling, assistance with obtaining housing support and, psychiatric services for medication management when needed. Our CSA services are offered out of our DC office located at 4545 42nd St. NW."​
