MEET ROLAND SCHEPPSKE, LPC (HE/HIM)

Psychotherapist, Herbalist in Training

With over 12 years in the healthcare field, Roland utilizes the relationship between the client and therapist to facilitate forward growth and healing, with the goal of becoming the best version of themselves. Roland uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, including experiential and reality-based approaches to highlight implementing changes in the here & now. As a big proponent of creating connections, Roland makes the therapy setting conversational and comfortable to promote safety and collaboration in the therapeutic space.


Roland particularly loves working with the aromantic and asexual community, young adults experiencing delayed independence (previously termed "failure to launch"), ethical non-monogamy/poly relationships and curiosity, queer veterans and military members and their families, those with people pleasing tendencies, the gay male population, and people wanting to work on improving their abilities to self-advocate and empower themselves. He also works with anxiety, depression, trauma, other LGBTQIA+ issues, spirituality/religious trauma (or "church hurt"), & other men's issues. He has a special passion for working with gender diverse populations who have come out earlier in life and has extensive experience working with cis, het individuals and adolescents (14+) as well.


Roland is currently completing his training on Holistic Herbalist certification, and loves working with natural, homeopathic and somatic based healing solutions.


Roland is currently accepting new clients in person in his office in Arlington, VA or via telehealth anywhere in Virginia. Book a consult on our website below or email him at roland@lgbtcounselingdmv.com.

Aromantic & Asexual Spectrum Process Group

Aromantic & Asexual Spectrum Process Group

Aromantic & Asexual Spectrum Process Group

Roland believes that the aromantic and asexual demographic of the queer community is vastly underserved and underrepresented. He wants to be a place that clients can feel accepted, embraced, and work through the impact of their orientation and identity on their lives and relationships. 


Roland is currently enrolling clients in a weekly process group focused on the asexual and aromantic community on every other Tuesday evening in person. Please email to join!

People Pleasing Tendencies

Aromantic & Asexual Spectrum Process Group

Aromantic & Asexual Spectrum Process Group

Roland is a recovering people-pleaser and aims to help others learn to empower and advocate for themselves, too. People-pleasing is often a learned behavior, originating from childhood experiences and social conditioning, and therapy can help reframe thinking, change patterned behaviors, and learn to individuate oneself.

Queer Veterans & Military Members
