I've served patients in the Washington, D.C. area for over four decades, helping men, women and couples resolve conflicts arising from the many changes and transitions they experience -- especially during the "middle years" of adulthood, My holistic perspective integrates psychoanalytic understanding of developmental origins of conflicts with the social, cultural, gender and career experiences that contribute to emotional troubles; feelings of limitations about change; your values. All can impede capacity for loving relationships and expressing hidden dimensions of your personalities; and for achieving success and meaning in life.

One of the bravest things you can do is seek out therapy for personal growth and healing. I feel honored and privileged to be considered as part of your journey in life. If you are struggling right now with feeling down, having trouble sleeping, or experiencing anxiety, there is tremendous hope for your life to get better!

No matter how much you do, that inner-voice insists, “you could be doing more.” You convince yourself you just need to work harder, sleep a little less, spread yourself more thin. Then you’ll finally feel that sense of accomplishment. But the more you do, the louder the voice gets. The weight of the constant stress is exhausting. The tension headache at the base of your skull won’t go away. You can’t control your emotions– the other day you blew up at your best friend. Your mother keeps calling; she’s worried about you. You’ve sacrificed so much, but don’t know what it’s all for. This can’t go on.

Welcome to my profile! My name is Dr. Freeman, I am a Black male psychologist, and I am excited to offer you compassionate, skilled, and effective therapy. I support clients managing anxiety and trauma, so if you have a fear of persons, situations, and life events that restricts your well-being and quality of life, get in touch with me. I will assist you in becoming more confident in overcoming these concerns in hopes of easing your journey to recovery.

I specialize in "overthinking" and am currently accepting new clients. In addition to my clinical training I have an extensive research background in anxiety, depression, relationships, overthinking, and eating disorders. I earned my Ph.D from Penn State and M.A. from Boston College. My approach to therapy is strength-based and results oriented. I adapt the work I do in psychotherapy to each individual client as I've found that each person benefits from an individualized treatment plan and a psychologist who is knowledgeable and experienced in a range of effective treatments.

Within the first 4 sessions, I help you get clear on how to make yourself first and top priority in your life without guilt or apology. My clients come to me when they are ready to gain the confidence, clarity, and courage needed to overcome imposter syndrome, stress, career frustration, life transitions, feelings of ineffectiveness, overwhelm, anxiety, grief/loss, and clinical depression.

Sometimes we need an objective, non-judgmental person to listen. Family and friends can be wonderful sources of love and support, but sometimes it isn't enough. I understand that the idea of sharing your very personal and painful thoughts and experiences can be uncomfortable. For that reason, I take a compassionate and empathetic approach with all my clients. I strive to build a strong, collaborative, and trusting relationship to create safety, openness, and healing.
