"With one unexpected life event can come a flood of unforeseen changes and decisions. This is a familiar experience for family members of loved ones managing a loss to their former abilities or self-agency. "

"If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. As bilingual (Spanish and English) solution-focused therapists, the goal is to accompany you through the process of a personal challenge, in which you allow and make possible the transformation of your attitude towards what troubles you. "

"Not currently accepting new clients. Are you struggling with transition or life decisions? Are you having trouble being your authentic and best self? Feeling stuck and can't get beyond your past? You've just taken the first step to healing and growth. Together, we can create meaningful goals, find balance and peace of mind, release distress from the past, be present, and passionate about life. I bring a culturally sensitive, compassionate attitude to my practice and use a collaborative approach to create a respectful and safe environment for my clients as they proceed on their unique healing journey."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington, DC, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, mood disorders, eating disorders, relationship problems, and difficulty regulating emotions. I have broad training in both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to therapy. Although I emphasize evidence-based strategies, my approach is integrative and uniquely tailored to each individual. My goal is to offer specific tools, skills and strategies that you can use to bring about realistic and positive change in your life, even after the conclusion of therapy."

"I believe our body, mind and spirit innately knows how to be healthy and well. When we experience mental and existential pain, we are experiencing imbalance due to the impacts of difficult life experiences, unhealthy relationships and lifestyles, toxic work environments, or navigating oppressive systems. I hold a safe and sacred space for you to become curious about your inner life, so that you can identify what is keeping you stuck, anxious, or unhappy. We will work together to overcome obstacles keeping you in unhealthy patterns and help you find a path back to your natural state of health and vitality."

"I have been providing individual and couple therapy for 21 years. I have been told that my style is direct, compassionate and non-judgemental."

"I approach therapy in a direct yet compassionate manner believing that long-term sustained change can only happen when growth occurs on the inside and flows outward. My goal is to help my clients walk their own individual path from self-judgment to self-transformation. I use a cognitive behavioral approach which guides you to understand how your thoughts/beliefs, feelings, and behaviors work together to determine your life experiences. Together, we will identify self-destructive patterns that stop you from getting what you want in life and replace them with constructive and goal-achieving ways of thinking and behaving."

"Changes Psychological Services, PLLC specializes in providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to adults with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive and mood disorders. CBT is a solution-focused, goal-directed and collaborative treatment. From the very first session, you will identify the issues that you are experiencing and create a plan to target your symptoms. Then each week, you'll work within and outside of sessions, to achieve your therapy goals. Together with your psychologist, you'll frequently assess what works for you and what doesn't, to ensure that you're always making progress."

"My practice is based on the belief that healing and emotional growth take place in an environment of safety, empathy and reflection. Active listening, validation, and mirroring encourage a client to slip past old barriers and reach new levels of self-awareness and self-acceptance. Together, we explore the experiences and expectations that have driven maladaptive patterns, as well as the ways in which emotional wounds power the repetition of unsatisfying behaviors, relationships, and self-defeating life narratives. The joy I've take in my work for 25 years facilitates the bonds that form between me and my clients."

"I help individuals face a full range of personal and professional challenges with dignity, strength and maturity. I offer my clients objectivity, insight, candor, resourcefulness, commitment and compassion to allow them to relieve anxiety or stress, improve mood and physical health, re-examine career goals, enhance personal relationships, address and heal from trauma injuries, resolve serious impairment of work performance and emotional stability from addictive behaviors, strengthen personal interests and reengage in life."

"**Currently accepting new clients** Exploring painful topics and working to make changes in your life can be exhausting. While therapy is not always easy, a good relationship between therapist and client can make the process significantly more enjoyable and productive. I strive to be genuine and authentic in sessions, incorporating humor and warmth to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and respectful space. Together, we will explore and challenge your ways of thinking in order to facilitate insight into your experience and gain new skills and strategies to create long-lasting, positive change in your life."

"If you are feeling overwhelmed or stuck, are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, body image, or are having difficulties in your relationships, my therapy practice may be the right fit for you. My role as a therapist is to provide you with a non-judgmental space to get to know yourself better and achieve sustainable change. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, approachable, and empowering. I use a mix of elements from CBT, psychodynamic, and relational theories in my practice, and I will help you examine patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to establish healthier ways of being."

"As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life."

"I love helping individuals and couples achieve their goals and aspirations. I offer a caring, safe, and healing environment that allows clients the opportunity to explore, experience, work through problems, and create solutions that expand their potential for growth and wellness. As a proponent of integrative and holistic therapy that honors the mind-body connection and its impact on well-being, health, and happiness, I attend to the whole person, not just a set of symptoms or problems. I emphasize teaching skills that develop inner resources for successful coping in life. I use a variety of methods, but the method has to meet your needs."

"With therapy, it's all about the fit. There is no "one size fits all" approach. I focus on the person, not the diagnosis. My goal is to assist clients in reaching their personal and professional goals in a safe and confidential environment where they feel understood and heard. With over 15 years experience in "Corporate America" before transitioning to a career in therapy, I am equipped to offer personal life experience to my clients in order for them to develop healthier coping skills and work through unresolved issues."

"The type of therapy I practice is about who you are as a person, not just a particular diagnosis you may have. We all struggle at times, whether with unfulfilling relationships, challenges in our professional lives, how we feel about ourselves, or other issues. When we first meet, my goal is to try to understand and appreciate the full context of your situation and not solely the troubling symptoms. I work hard to create a safe, warm, trusting environment. Over time, I'll help you uncover patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may contribute to your current problem."

"Some reasons you might seek therapy with me include the following: if you are struggling with anxiety or depression; if you lack motivation or feel overwhelmed by stress; if you are having trouble in your romantic or social relationships; if you are grieving the loss of a loved one; if you are navigating challenging workplace relationships; or if you are having strong emotional responses you don't understand."

"Have you been feeling overworked, underloved, or underappreciated? Do you have excessive worry? Do you doubt yourself? Do you find that everytime you try to talk things out with someone you care about you just can't find the right words to say? Trust me, you are not alone. Everyone needs a safe place where they can process a problem or work through a difficult life transition. Whether you are dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, wounds from your past, or relationships issues, I want to partner with your on your path to healing."

"Life's challenges can sometimes push our coping skills to the brink, and what used to work for us no longer does. Relief from psychological pain comes when we face feelings that we are avoiding and develop new coping skills and new ways of looking at our lives. I have worked successfully with adults experiencing difficult situations at work, in relationships, and in life transitions. Through our work together, I will help you challenge unhelpful beliefs and alleviate distressing emotions so that you can free yourself from suffering, regain hope, make better choices, and live a more authentic, satisfying life.
