BEGINNINGS
At Associated Clinical Services (ACS), we are dedicated to providing effective mental health solutions for individuals with complex challenges. Founded by Edwin Carter, Ph.D. in 1974, ACS has been a cornerstone of behavioral health support in Northern Virginia for over four decades. Our legacy of psychological expertise spans generations, as Dr. Carter's father, Donald Carter, a psychologist for the Army medical corps, also contributed his expertise to the practice during its formative years. Today, ACS has grown into a family-integrated business, with Dr. Carter's daughter, Megan Carter, Ph.D., Psy.D., now playing a pivotal role alongside his other children, who manage IT, legal, and marketing functions.
Our team of clinical psychologists and counselors provide a wide range of evaluative and therapeutic services. We specialize in psychological, neuropsychological, and forensic assessments, as well as individual, family, and group therapies. Our commitment is to evidence-based practices that address the needs of those with developmental disorders, learning disabilities, social, emotional, and behavioral disorders, severe mental illness, and neurocognitive disorders. We also have extensive experience working with individuals involved in the legal system.
