Welcome to Wellspring!
WellSpring Child and Family Psychology is dedicated to providing high quality behavioral health services to the Fredericksburg community. We offer a variety of services including: individual, couples, and family therapy; psychological and educational assessments, parenting support; courses and groups; consultation and trainings; and community outreach. WellSpring's directors are doctoral-level clinical psychologists who are actively involved in the Fredericksburg community and passionate about providing our community the highest quality of service.
Psychological Testing/Assessment: We are currently not accepting psychological testing referrals due to the length of the current waitlist. When our waitlist has reduced we will open up scheduling for additional testing cases.
Therapy Appointments: We currently have limited availability for adults (18+) daytime appointments.
We know finding appropriate services can be frustrating, and we are always working hard to meet the needs of our community. For a list of other providers in the area, please see the Mental Health America of Fredericksburg's Helpline.

Specialty ServicesIn addition to our generalized services, WellSpring offers a variety of specialized services. Our providers have a wide range of expertise, and many have extensive training/experience (10+ years) in specialized areas. For example, a number of our providers are trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an empirically supported treatment for trauma. Other's specialize in psychological assessment, neurodivergence, treatment of eating disorders, trauma-therapy for children, and parent training and support. We suggest exploring the "About Us" page for specific information on each provider and their areas of interest.

Parent Support
When you buy a new pencil sharpener, it comes with instructions. When you have, adopt, or foster a child, you essentially get the most complicated little thing on earth, with no instructions. Our belief is that effective parenting strategies exist, can be learned, and need to be taught. We are not born knowing how to read, drive a car, or even tie our shoes. These are all things we are taught (and figure out a bit on our own). Parenting is really no different. If you were lucky enough to have perfect caregivers, you may have learned a lot about parenting from them. Even so, there is probably a lot more to know. We strive to offer courses that will help you to be the very best parent you can be - and to enjoy it! Our Effective Parenting Course covers effective discipline strategies and how to maintain a healthy attachment to your child. Our Mothers of Infants and Toddlers Group offers a broad range of support including how to adjust to life with an infant, how to maintain your personal relationships, forming healthy sleep, feeding, and nap routines, managing postpartum issues, and much more. We also offer individual and family therapy to provide personalized support.
Co-Located Psychiatry Services
We are very pleased to offer co-located psychiatry services for children, adolescents, and young adults through a partnership with the Psychiatric Office of Heather K. Henig, MD, LLC. For more information, please see our Psychiatry Partners page.
