Therapists in 20015

I believe people have the ability and strength to heal and change, sometimes we just need a little help in getting there. Through an integrative approach, I help clients recognize their strengths, and explore their patterns to help them realize their full potential. I believe that the core of therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship - my practice style is warm and empathic - I truly enjoy getting to know my clients, and I believe the relationship between therapist and client is essential in change.

Are you challenged by life's transitions or losses, hurt by trauma or conflict, troubled by feelings of insecurity, anxiety or depression, or struggling in your relationships? Are you ready to identify and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way of moving forward? I will help you develop greater emotional strength and support you in reaching your goals.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in the District of Columbia. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with life transitions, relationship issues, women's health issues, infertility, anxiety and depression. I also work with couples seeking help with communication and better understanding one another. My work is informed by psychodynamic principles. I would be happy to speak with you by phone and answer any questions you might have about my approach and practice.

We are a group practice with a shared passion for women's mental health. Our clients are working professionals, parents, and students in all phases of life. We love to work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodivergence, relationship challenges, trauma, and eating disorders. Our team has experience in numerous evidence-based treatment modalities including EMDR, ACT, EFT, CBT, ERP, & DBT. We believe in collaborative, integrative, and holistic mental health care and are here to support you. We are proud to offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

I work with adults and adolescents (14+) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility, and life transitions (such as career changes, going to college, or becoming parents). My practice is a safe space to help you understand how past experiences shape your relationships, thoughts and feelings. Through this exploration, we can work together to better manage the pressure you place on yourself and feel more secure, confident and accepted.

In my psychotherapy practice, I treat both individuals and couples and specialize in Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorders. I provide a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental space utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). My clients benefit from a goal-oriented approach and treatment tailored to their specific needs. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider and have a special interest in treating women around infertility, pregnancy, and postpartum issues. As an LCMFT, I also view client's issues within the context of their significant relationships.

I bring to my practice the experience of forty years of professional work with individuals and couples, as well as the wisdom and personal growth that I have gained from dealing with my own life challenges. I am particularly effective with clients as they deal with forming and maintaining intimate relationships, sorting through identity and career conflicts, coping with grief and loss, and managing life transitions. Infertility and adoption issues have long been an area of expertise. All these situations are filled with intense emotionality and anguish yet demand solid, clear thinking.

It hurts to be in crisis not knowing where to start and how to get help, particularly these days. As a psychotherapist and a psychoanalyst I will work with you, closely listening in a safe and containing environment, so we can process painful experiences and understand patterns and behaviors that affect your wellbeing, productivity and relationships; we will work together to develop pathways towards emotional growth that could facilitate meaningful and lasting changes and healing from past traumas, leading to a more fulfilling, productive life.

Are you feeling anxious? Stuck? Having trouble with your spouse, children, parents, friends, colleagues? Things are just not right? Why do it on your own? You need somebody objective and non-judgmental to bounce things off of. Making the decision to call a therapist is tough but it can really make a difference in how you feel and operate in this world. I have been a therapist for over 40 years and I know it really works. My style is warm, interactive and caring and I'm ready to help you tackle your problems.

Do you feel misunderstood? Do you have trouble communicating? As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I help couples and individuals turn their relationships around for the better. We work on speaking and listening skills, using "I" statements, setting boundaries and other relationship skills. We use videos, personality tests, role plays and other tools to bring about rapid change. I work with clients on relationship issues, career choices, and other issues. What sets me apart from other therapists is my ability to keep clients on a systematic approach to change with a focused, short term program to help them achieve their goals quickly.

I provide a supportive therapeutic environment helping individuals and families attain a greater understanding into their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through this understanding, clients will make choices and decisions that will put them on a path to what they really want out of their lives, their families, and their relationships.

The process of making art is healing and creates a sense of meaning and of being seen. Engaging in a therapeutic creative process with an art therapist is one of the most powerful steps you can take to change your life and improve your well-being. You do not have to have any artistic skills, you just need to be open to the possibility that the art-making process can meaningfully support your healing journey. I want to help you get in touch with your creativity, to cultivate more self-compassion, build resiliency and mindfulness, reduce stress, increase self-esteem and self-awareness, and to help you authentically express yourself.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, marital or relationship issues, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel safe and comfortable....a good fit for you. I have been in practice for over 20 years and my approach is to get to the problem, find the solution, and work collaboratively toward these goals. I welcome feedback, positive and negative!

I specialize in working with depression, interpersonal relationships, parenting concerns, the motherhood transition, college transitions, loss and grief. I help clients think through strategies to enable them to better navigate transitions and the difficult circumstances they encounter. I also work with individuals to identify and interrupt patterns that are preventing them from succeeding, building and maintaining satisfying relationships and experiencing happiness. It is my experience that working hard in therapy, with honesty and openness, can lead to lower stress, better relationships and rewarding changes in your life.

Immediate Openings - Feeling overwhelmed and stressed by parenting challenges and transition to life? Therapy can help re-balance and rejuvenate your life and well-being. By identifying areas of stress, prioritizing what is important, developing healthy communication skills, and learning relaxation techniques will help you manage your daily life. My intention as a therapist is to provide a warm, safe, supportive space to help you express yourself, identify what inspires change within you, feel at peace with yourself and in relationships; as well as develop a stronger sense of self-worth.

Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

Therapy is often about change - changing oneself or parts of one's life. Taking steps towards change requires tremendous courage, but many people find the rewards of this process well worth the effort. A supportive, helpful guide can go a long way towards making productive changes and that is where I come in. Support is my primary role; my secondary role is to help individuals identify thoughts or behaviors that are limiting progress in one's life. In addition to helping with a wide range of common symptoms like stress, anxiety, depression, I specialize in health psychology (coping with illness).
