What We Do, & How We Do It
The purpose of the ARROW Project is to enhance resilience, empowerment, and self-advocacy within local communities by expanding mental health treatment possibilities for and within the Augusta County, Staunton, and Waynesboro areas. We are also pleased to offer virtual services to those located in the state of Virginia.
The ARROW Project’s core values of advocacy, affirmation, collaboration, and education guide us in everything we do.
Services We Offer
Outpatient counseling
We offer outpatient counseling to individuals aged 3+, couples, and families. Approaches differ by clinician, but outpatient services may include structural family therapy, attachment-focused treatment, trauma-informed treatment, and restorative justice.
Psychological assessment
Our assessment center offers a wide range of evaluations in different areas of concern.
group counseling
We are pleased to run a variety of topic-specific groups that aim to foster peer-to-peer connection. Our groups are free to attend, and participants do not need to be a current client of ARROW. For a full list of our current group offerings, click the button below.
community outreach
Our goal is to be a present and supportive member of our community. We table at many events throughout the year and are always happy to connect with any organization that might benefit from our presence. We are also available for private and professional consulting.

The ARROW Project’s 3 Cs
Connect
– Connecting community members to quality family- and mental-health services, with a particular focus on individuals and families limited by systemic pressures (e.g. poverty, race, gender, sexual orientation, lack of transportation, lack of housing, etc.)
– Connecting with, and building linkages among: local, licensed providers of care; emerging professional and professional training programs; non-licensed community organizations that focus services on children and families; and community members
Collaborate
– Enhancing programs and resources that serve our collective community and growing new ones
– Offering professional advancement opportunities for students in mental health care fields (e.g. clinical counseling, behavioral health), including training and supervision through practicum, internship, and residency experiences
Cultivate
– Identifying and developing new resources in partnership with: local agencies and community providers of mental health care and services; professionals from a wide range of disciplines and fields of study (e.g. Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Clinical Psychologists, etc.); and college/university faculty, departments, and student organizations with interest in supporting community-based work with an emphasis on mental health services
