Dr. Katie O’Meara is the Director of the Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment (CCTA). She opened the practice in 2005 and has expanded each year, hiring talented, warm, and experienced clinicians. Dr. O’Meara supervises each clinician, ensuring quality services. There is a focus on empirically supported therapies, communication with other treatment providers, and encouraging parent involvement in child treatment. CCTA is a close knit group of clinicians who provide support to one another, and enjoy working in collaboration for clients and families. Intellectually curious and committed to learning, the CCTA team frequently engages in continuing education to increase their knowledge on specific topics. They are committed to giving back to our community and offer pro-bono services in partnership with the City of Alexandria Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Division.
As the Center for Cognitive Therapy and Assessment celebrates our 20th anniversary, we are also announcing that starting this fall, we will be changing the name of our practice to Expand Psychology. This change reflects our commitment to meet the ever evolving mental health needs of our clients and the community.
Since our founding, our clinical team has developed to include specialists who provide a wider range of evidence-based therapies, allowing us to serve additional client populations from infancy through adulthood, expanding our ability to work with the entire family system. Our new name captures the depth of our current services, including our ability to provide psychological testing and autism evaluation for all ages.
A new website will launch on October 3, 2025 – with a wider scope of mental health services to support you.
We continue to accept new clients during the transition and you can reach out to us via our online form at on current site, at contact@centerforcbtva.com, or phone at 703-618-0900.
