A Message From Joe Cabush & David Paul

What Makes Us Different

Welcome to Cabush, Paul, & Associates. At the heart of our practice in Fairfax, VA, is a deep care for the well-being of every individual who walks through our doors. While we work with people of all ages and backgrounds, we have a special focus on boys and young men, as well as their parents, who often need unique support and understanding. With a team made up largely of male clinicians, our focus is to create a comfortable, safe, and relatable environment.  From individual sessions to our innovative group therapy programs, we provide opportunities for connection and growth in ways that go beyond traditional therapy.

We believe that healing happens when people feel seen, understood, and free to be themselves. For many—especially neurodivergent kids those who have been bullied—that means spaces where the burdens of isolation, loneliness, and not belonging are gently lifted. Our groups offer this kind of shared understanding without the need for constant explanation, and instead center on spontaneous play, adventure, and discovery—whether through games, hiking, walking, laser tag, or even rock climbing. We invite you to get to know us better and, whether through us or another therapy provider, we wish you success in finding the right solution for your son or daughter.
