Hello! Congratulations on taking this step in your mental wellness journey. When navigating through transitions, relationships, intersectionality, and other challenging aspects of life, you may find that you encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. These moments in which you are faced with change involve intention and care. Therapy allows you to enter a safe, warm, and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today with the hope that in time, you can begin to gain awareness and fulfillment, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.

If you are seeking healing, growth, and positive change in your life, I am here to listen, support, and help you get unstuck. I am a Licensed Clinical Counselor and Art Therapist, I take a holistic, multicultural, and creative approach, grounded in clinical practices. I have a down-to-earth, warm, and authentic disposition. My goal is to help you live your life more fully. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with: anxiety, depression, self-worth, relationships, and life transitions. I also specialize in working with couples using the Gottman method to increase trust, commitment, intimacy and relationship fulfillment.

The Pincus Center specializes in working with clients to build a life filled with pleasure and joy. We will help you to find your inner voice, establish your own goals and find a path that works for you. There is no one true way to do therapy or to live your life. We will help you find the tools to ride the waves of emotions that we all experience instead of being pulled under. We can't make everything perfect but we can make it better. We focus on issues around body acceptance, sexual freedom, neurodiversity, shame, low desire, sexual functioning issues and a wide variety of other mental health issues.

I am a bilingual Hispanic American Licensed Clinical Social Worker, offering virtual counseling services in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Puerto Rico. With a holistic approach to mental health, I provide personalized treatment for a diverse range of challenges. My focus is on offering compassionate support to individuals navigating life's obstacles. I specialize in helping clients with disruptive behaviors, adjustment difficulties, anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, ADHD, gender identity exploration, and provide affirming care for LGBTQ individuals.

We all receive labels and messages from society and our upbringing that attempt to dictate how we operate in relation with others, what we’re worth, and how we perceive ourselves. I understand that the labels we receive from others, and the way we see ourselves are often times conflicting. These messages and attention or lack thereof can have a negative impact on our self-esteem, relationships, communication capabilities, perception of those around us, and self-worth. I offer a space to unpack these inconsistencies to discover contentment and congruence of self.

I get it... It's hard out here. In a world that demands more than it gives, it is imperative that one develops their voice to speak their truth and find their way to liberation and connection. It may feel impossible to find stability and security not only within your environment but also within yourself. As a clinician, my goal is to support you as you find empowerment, enact self-compassion, expand self- awareness, restore and improve relationships with self and others, and find inner security using an interpersonal/relational approach, psychotherapy, psycho-education. EMDR, and holistic interventions.

In prioritising my clients' diversity and identities, I use culturally-sensitive CBT, DBT, ACT, Person Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care (TIC), motivational therapy, attachment theory to support adults living with depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, bipolar disorder, and PTSD related to identity, career, relationships, immigrant experiences, grief and loss, divorce or marriage work . We'll will work toward behavior change, mood regulation, communication, self-acceptance, distress tolerance, assertiveness, resolving trauma, enhancing daily functioning, addressing relationship challenges, boundary setting and self-awareness.

Life is challenging and even though we try, it's often difficult to do it all on own. My goal is to support you in navigating life's challenges by better understanding yourself. Together, we will seek to understand your past experiences and their connection to your current-day behaviors/emotions in an effort to re-envision your future. This is done in a careful way that intentionally considers your individual context (i.e., culture, identity).

Sometimes, we feel sad, angry, frustrated, disappointed, hurt, or find ourselves repeating patterns, but we are not sure why. Whether it's relationship or work issues, life can throw us curveballs. I look forward to working with those who need guidance, regardless of whether you have been in therapy before or just trying it out; together, we can uncover new pathways to your well-being.

The people I work with want to change the way they feel and relate to themselves, their life circumstances, and their relationships. We might be a good fit if you are experiencing sadness, anxiety, low motivation or self-esteem, intergenerational trauma, and/or feelings of grief and loss. I particularly enjoy working with people who want to increase self-worth, self-esteem, and self-empowerment, women of color, indigenous populations, and LGBTQIA+, survivors of trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault, and harassment, and people living with medical conditions, grief, and loss.

Hi, I'm Lindsay King, a creative, compassionate counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience counseling kids, caregivers, & communities to heal and thrive. Does it seem like you and your child/teen are facing mental health challenges, stress, anxiety, change, or grief? Do you want to help your child improve their communication, coping, or focusing skills? Do you want an improved relationship with your child/teen? I’d love to help you and your family set goals, process stress, and learn new skills to last a lifetime. I primarily use expressive, DBT-informed therapy & training to encourage human growth and change.

I believe that each person has an innate ability to heal from trauma and pain. Events from the past can impact our mind and body in the present--sometimes getting in the way of current relationships and goals. I offer a safe space to tap into transformative healing, self-exploration, and personal growth. My clients bring an array of issues to therapy including trauma, addiction, sexual difficulties, relationship challenges, self-injury, and dissociation. I work collaboratively, recognizing that each client brings their own unique strengths to the work.

I have experience working with runaway and homeless youth and women, teen parents, LGBTIQ+ individuals, those on the sexuality and gender spectrum, refugees, and asylum seekers. I am a hearing member of the ASL signing community and an advocate for accessibility and language access for all. I do my best work with youth and adults who are open to creative problem-solving and deep reflection of patterns that might hinder or aid in healing. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing and Harm Reduction therapies and have experience with Solution Focused and Narrative therapies.

I see you. If you've made it here, you are searching for something and I am passionate about joining you at the core of the pain, in the middle of the mess, and within the distress. I aim to be a witness and to co-create a space where we can tap into your capacity to resist, rejoice, rest, and recharge.

I treat patients and clinicians alike who are interested in enhancing their lives and building upon what they already use to guide them. I also I use different modalities to help address those concerns. My method of practice is to first plan, assess and then treat. We begin our sessions developing a "therapeutic relationship" by getting to know you. Methodically providing psycho-education, emotional support and mixed modalities to address each of your concerns and throughout treatment we reelevate your progress based on your personal needs.

Individuals living with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, ADHD, substance use work with me to explore how relationships, systems, experiences and their various identities might affect mental health. You'll candidly process your experiences, identify triggers and learn more adaptive cognitive, behavioral and emotional strategies to alleviate, eliminate, manage or build resilience and improve functioning. I work with immigrants, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, AAPI and BIPOC individuals and am attuned to the ways in which historical injustices and political structures affect the mental health of individuals.

I believe in our innate power to heal and grow from difficult life experiences. Whether you've experienced a trauma recently or many years ago, these experiences may continue to impact you in the present: physically, emotionally, psychologically and relationally. I offer a gentle, collaborative and affirming space to access and work through past events, however they show up, as well as for self-exploration and personal growth. I pay attention to the ways in which issues of identity (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, ability, size, etc.) may impact your experience. I am licensed in DC, CT, SC, DE.
