Letter from the Owner, LaToya Nkongolo: I started my career 24 years ago as a counselor in a juvenile detention facility. At that time, I learned the pervasiveness of mental health and substance use disorders, and the dangers of self-medicating. It comes a time where self-medication begins to hurt the addict and everyone around him/her. We work to help individuals and families break the cycle of addiction and/or manage mental health symptoms by learning ways to cope with life stressors. Our compassionate, highly competent staff are here to help you achieve peace of mind!

Engaging in self-care is one of the most powerful choices we can make in our lives. Taking care of our mental health is one essential aspect of self-care. Choosing to address emotional pain can feel daunting. Ever imagine it could also feel rewarding? Psychotherapy can provide a unique opportunity to foster growth, compassion, and self-acceptance. As a clinical psychologist, my goal is to guide you on your personal journey, and help you embrace your most authentic self so you can live a life that’s meaningful to you and take value-based actions.

Hi, my name is T. Marieann Hekimian (pronounced Maryann Heck-eem-ian) and I am an anti-racist mental health therapist. If you are curious about using psilocybin to reduce symptoms of persistent depression, I offer Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration coaching.

Psychedelics are a Schedule 1 illegal substance in the US, however psilocybin is decriminalized in DC, CO, and OR.

I have experience offering trauma-informed therapeutic services for survivors and alleged perpetrators. And I have offered counsel to many emerging adults struggling with fundamental childhood pain related to their upbringing and connected their experiences of racism, their ethnic origins, sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodivergence, and the many other multi-dimensional ways we can identify and be made to feel othered. As I understand trauma can be relational, as so should be healing. So where you may find value in intimate partner, familial, or group healing, I am happy to meet you and other willing participants there.

It’s not just that you don’t rock the boat, it’s that you steady the boat while it's being rocked. And you are nothing if not determined. So why that unsettled panicky flutter in bed? You know, the combo of mild nausea and critical thoughts on loop while sleep escapes you? The truth is, steadying the boat gives you a perception of control. A sense that everything will be okay if you can just keep up the façade of okay. It's familiar, comfortable. But these days the exhaustion is bone deep. At this point you have tried everything from meditation to medication to basic talk therapy filled with homework and more pressure to preform.

Do you struggle with intense emotions including anger, sadness, or shame? Feelings of chronic emptiness, numbness, or existential dread? Do you struggle with impulses or destructive behavior? Feeling out of sync with others or the world? Trauma from childhood attachment wounds, abuse and neglect, chronic invalidation, and loss can manifest in difficult to understand intense emotional states, numbness, or destructive behaviors. We can carry shame around these experiences, yet often any of our present struggles can best be understood as adaptations to trauma or loss that helped us survive.
