Therapists in Washington, DC

Not taking new clients at this time. Making the decision to seek therapy is a strength-based step toward creating the life you want. Sometimes we hold on to old patterns that might have helped us in the past, but those patterns no longer serve us. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed or want to learn new coping skills, our work together can identify thoughts that just aren't helpful and we'll work towards finding healthier thought patterns. Then we'll work on building resources that will help you maintain positive changes.

You and your partner are not in sync, and are having trouble hearing and understanding each other. You feel sad, scared and angry because you remember how happy you were and this relationship is so important to you. No matter how clear the issues are for you as you try to address them, your partner somehow sees the issues differently. Disagreements aren't getting fully resolved. Or you are dealing with: difficult family, work or social relationships, persistent worries, identity questions, life transitions and adjustments, thinking that you aren't "good enough” for yourself or others, perfectionism, grieving, or healing from trauma.

Are you dealing with stress, relationship issues, mood disorders, career/professional concerns, or life transitions? Are you feeling overwhelmed and imbalanced? When this happens, everything else suffers from your personal to your professional life, including how you feel. You may find it challenging to find the right therapist who can help you heal. Just know that you are not alone. It can be difficult to seek therapy, especially if you tried it before and felt like it didn't work. “One size does not fit all.” Our approaches are tailored to the needs of each individual to help you find long lasting solutions. We can help.
