Therapists in 20008

I am committed to helping people who feel challenged in relationships, in their professional lives, or creatively and emotionally. My approach is determined by your needs and pays attention to your strengths, guided by the belief that you already possess the ability to make things better. I provide individual therapy grounded in psychodynamic theories and utilize an open and flexible approach to understand challenges, promote insight and cultivate growth and change. I am noted for my warm demeanor, openness, positivity and authentic qualities. My practice offers a warm and caring place to build skills and enhance your growth.

In therapy, the focus inevitably turns to the balance between self and others. Being responsible for one's own needs while being responsive to others, whether in a relationship, school, or at work is a dynamic, and sometimes confounding, process. How do you find that balance, being true to oneself and a truely caring person? That's the work of therapy. I work with individuals, couples, families, and students. I have a recognized expertise with severe psychological trauma, depression, anxiety, and marital problems including infidelities. I am proud to have been twice highly recommended by Washingtonian Magazine.

I'm Dr. Delishia Pittman, Founder & Clinical Director of The Wellness Collective. I applaud you for taking this brave step toward finding support to work through the issues that concern you most. It is my personal belief that humans have an innate capacity to heal and orientation toward growth. I subscribe to an integrative multicultural orientation and rely heavily on the language and interventions of relational cultural, feminist and psychodynamic theories. I work to establish a sense of felt security and empowerment with the goal of managing presenting concerns and fostering growth and wellbeing.

If you are feeling stuck but want to move forward in life, in emotional pain or discomfort, I am happy to speak with you about individual psychotherapy, couple/marriage or family counseling. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds on problems in their relationships, in their workplace, in their family life, and at times of difficult life transitions. I offer a safe environment to talk comfortably and work collaboratively to improve a client’s well-being. I specialize in helping lawyers and medical professionals under stress. And having had a past involvement in politics, I enjoy working with elected/government officials.

I work with folks navigating a wide range of issues, including life transitions, burnout, stress, self-image, anxiety, trauma, grief, and relationship issues.

Together, we'll work to grow you into the person or partner you want to be.

In my years of practice and clinical experience I have been privileged to be actively engaged in a powerful and life enhancing experience that reduces suffering, promotes healing and opens a doorway to hope, compassion and growth. I believe that therapy offers a unique space to resolve life challenges and difficulties in a collaborative, respectful, empathic and effective way. It also offers an opportunity to become the best person we can be. I am a licensed psychologist in DC and MD. I have been in practice for 30 years and provide individual, couples and group therapy as well as supervision. consultation and clinical training.

I specialize in working with women in young adulthood and midlife who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, adjustment difficulties, "family history stuff," existential malaise, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. As a former high school coach and counselor, I provide a unique approach that is both authentic and encouraging in nature. I work best with clients that are open-minded and adaptable as well as introspective and contemplative. Sense of humor plays an essential role in developing the rapport I have with my clients. Once that is established, I make sure to carefully listen to each individual's unique story, assist in planning ahead for challenges, channel strengths, and collaboratively track progress together.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a trauma survivor, and someone with a chronic pain disorder; I approach the work that I do from a place of empathy and personal understanding. I have an intense passion for understanding personal identity and the way race, culture, class, and sexuality come together to form what we believe about ourselves and what we feel we can accomplish in our lives. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies - together we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency that will help navigate the past and prepare for a more hopeful future.

I’m the founder and director of The Center for Family Well-Being, where we aim -- through our groups, individual therapy, and classes -- to help kids, teens, adults, couples, and families fully realize their potential with confidence, understanding, and an open heart. We're a group of highly-trained holistic therapists who integrate Western psychotherapy with the wisdom of Eastern mindful awareness practice, as well as other mind-body healing methods, for greater awareness, connection, and well-being for our clients -- within themselves and with others in their lives.

After 26 years of practice I see my ideal client as one who is ready for change. Ultimately, life is the method by which we grow. I work with a variety of tools to meet each client where they are. I have faith that we can all meet the challenges within ourselves and in life and find the inner capacity to move forward. My clients have ranged from those healing from a recent or historical trauma to those wanting life coaching. I have a holistic/systemic vision of my clients and enjoy working with body, mind spirit when appropriate.

Taking the first step and seeking out a therapist can feel overwhelming and scary. No one wants to feel judged. In my practice, I aim to create a warm, trusting environment where clients feel safe to explore more about themselves and whatever challenges they may be facing. As a licensed professional counselor, I have experience working with clients from different backgrounds with a variety of presenting issues. I use an eclectic approach, incorporating evidence-based techniques, because every client is unique. We’ll explore strategies that resonate with you and your personality.
