Therapists in Washington, DC

I offer a safe space for individuals and couples to examine their lives, looking for places to develop and heal. I help clients to understand their personal histories, the fearful or anxious narratives they may be stuck in and to build positive change in their lives. My graduate studies at Harvard focused on trauma and resilience. I was drawn to my work by the question of how to help people tap into their internal resilience to heal from difficult experiences and to live their best life?

Are you going through a stage in your life where you feel lost, confused, or conflicted? Is your mental health making you feel like you’re disconnected with your peers, friends, co-worker’s, or even with yourself? Are you feeling a lack of motivation, or understanding of your true purpose? Do you struggle with functioning socially, mentally or emotionally? With my specialization in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, I frequently work with my clients on improving their mental health by helping them to develop coping mechanisms to overcome any current mental health struggle.

Welcome! My job is to use my knowledge and skills to enhance what's already working for you. Areas of focus: Work stress, worries, sleep issues, health challenges, grief and loss, parenting support, guilt and shame, career and life transitions. My work emphasizes mind/body awareness to create health and healing. I've worked with clients who are completely new to therapy and those who have tried working with different therapists. My intention is to help you heal and rediscover your voice.

Je crois que l'amélioration de votre relation avec vous-même améliore tout. Quels que soient vos problèmes de présentation, vous faites partie de l'équation.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxious thoughts? Are the trials of everyday life trapping you in a cycle of depression?

Having a safe, nonjudgmental space, to be yourself, and to reflect, discuss, and learn about your reactions, decisions, and challenges can lead to improved well-being. My psychotherapy practice creates that space in a hopeful, compassionate atmosphere. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Between your counseling sessions, you are encouraged to reflect and put new skills and insights into practice. I can weave traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness practices to relieve symptoms, promote self-care, make intentional decisions, and grow.

I’m Marjorie, a licensed psychotherapist with over a decade of experience specializing in trauma and stress recovery. I employ a range of modalities including Brainspotting, EMDR, SE, Narrative Therapy, and DBT. At SOL, I serve in a dual capacity, providing clinical supervision to therapists and delivering direct psychotherapy to clients, thereby fostering an environment rich in deep healing and professional growth. My holistic approach incorporates innovative practices that enhance rest and recovery.

By the time people get to me they’ve often tried many things. They’ve read self-help books, perused articles, confided in friends about problems that just don’t seem to go away. Those issues span the gamut, from difficulty with family members to on-the-job problems, to outright trauma, to a nagging sense of dissatisfaction with life. “What can I do about this?” people want to know. My answer is usually something along the lines of “Let’s try to understand more.” Things are often not what they seem at first glance. My office is a place to figure things out, to increase empathy for yourself and others, and to make needed changes.

As a client of mine, I offer a confidential and non-judgmental environment where you can freely express your thoughts, feelings, and concerns. I provide a space solely dedicated to you, where you can explore your emotions without fear of being misunderstood or criticized. My practice is rooted in the latest research and evidence-based interventions. Whether it is cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness exercises, or solution-focused therapy, I will employ effective tools to help you navigate challenges, develop coping skills, and foster resilience. Together, we will work towards tangible and sustainable progress.

We are a team of professionals with clinical expertise who love working together to provide the appropriate treatment in a compassionate, therapeutic environment. We provide services to the international community. Our goal is to provide high-quality psychotherapy and counseling treatment to individuals, couples, and families. We focus on helping our clients find their inner resources to be able to make changes in their lives in a healthy and meaningful way.

I use an active, serious and friendly approach to help you figure out where you are right now and how to move forward. Talking with a professional psychologist can organize your thinking and transform your outlook. You can overcome issues such as anxiety, fearfulness, low mood, career concerns, dating troubles, family problems and more when you move past emotional roadblocks. Problem-solve for 1-2 sessions or take a deeper look at your underlying thoughts and habits. When you understand yourself more fully you can take action to make your life better.

Do you feel stuck? Maybe you can't seem to shake the blues. Maybe it’s a loss. Or you can’t make a crucial decision. Perhaps jittery moods have reduced your functioning. Or you’re unable to control unhealthy behavior. Maybe every conversation with your spouse becomes an argument. Feel more confident, improve your relationships, move from illness to health, reconnect with your creativity, learn valuable coping skills, take control of your life and just feel better. I can help you move forward through obstacles, uncovering your true potential. Our work helps you feel resilient, so you can set and reach your goals.

Dr. Siddique works eclectically to help clients understand their strengths, have a clearer understanding of obstacles that hold them back, and to help promote a sense of satisfaction, courage, and joy.

She values working collaboratively with parents, families, educators, and other treatment providers to make recommendations to enhance every client’s personal strengths and goals. Finally, she believes in the importance of between session support services by text, email, and phone, as needed.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious and hungry for more connection to themselves and others in their lives. When you start therapy, I will talk with you about what brings you to therapy, the life you want to create and what you think holds you back.
