Veterans Therapists in 20052

Do you worry that you are not a good enough parent, partner or friend? Do you have trouble getting to sleep when you are overloaded with thoughts about mistakes you've made? Do you wake up most mornings feeling depressed or anxious? Are your moods swinging- you have a short fuse- or are you shutting down? If yes, you could be suffering from depression & anxiety. The cause could be chemical-due to a family history or it could be situational-due to a loss or traumatic event. Traumatic events include becoming a caregiver to a family member with mental illness.

Women and children deserve a safe space to heal and thrive. As a specialized therapist, I offer compassionate, engaging, and insight-based support tailored to your unique needs. Whether navigating pressure, stress, anxiety, relationship trauma, or personal challenges, I am here to help you find resilience and peace. Together, we'll discover strategies to navigate difficult times, build inner strength, and foster healthier relationships. My approach is centered on empowering you to overcome obstacles and live a fulfilling life. Let's work together towards a brighter, more empowered future.

If you are feeing overwhelmed, unsatisfied, worried, or burnt-out, I can help you. I have advanced training in treating anxiety, life transitions like changes in relationships and moves, and body image issues. My clients describe my style as warm, active, collaborative, and approachable. I will help you freely explore your thoughts and emotions, or learn what these are and how to express them. Through therapy, you will get to know yourself better and affect change in your life. I use a mix of elements from CBT, psychodynamic, and relational theories in my practice.

From the outside you appear put together and accomplished, yet inside you don’t always feel that way. Sometimes you worry about things you can't control, create plans for the possible “what ifs” down the road, and wonder if others will discover that you don’t actually have it all figured out. You can’t calm your mind or find a healthy balance, and it’s getting in the way of your ambitions. You’ve tried managing on your own yet feel stuck. We can work together to harness your inner strengths while mending the parts that make life feel challenging.

You notice patterns in your life that you want to better understand and change. These patterns show up in relationships, your own stress and struggles, and other areas in which you feel stuck. You want to be able to live your life in a way that feels true to who you are and how you want to show up in your relationships and in the world.

Having a safe, nonjudgmental space, to be yourself, and to reflect, discuss, and learn about your reactions, decisions, and challenges can lead to improved well-being. My psychotherapy practice creates that space in a hopeful, compassionate atmosphere. Psychotherapy is a collaborative process. Between your counseling sessions, you are encouraged to reflect and put new skills and insights into practice. I can weave traditional psychotherapy with mindfulness practices to relieve symptoms, promote self-care, make intentional decisions, and grow. Please email me and I'll be able to answer more quickly.

Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and for considering me for your mental health needs. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in DC and Virginia. Antiracist and identity-affirming practice is very important to me. I help clients navigate mood-related concerns (e.g., anxiety and depression), relationship issues, identity conflicts, and family of origin issues, among others. Seeking out mental health services requires courage and a desire to change. I try to honor this courage by working hard to be present, warm, and responsive every time we meet. Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) informs my work.

CURRENT openings. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, held back by worry and doubt. Perhaps you are struggling under the weight of sadness or shame, or due to a loss or trauma that continues to impact you day to day. I offer a skilled, supportive space to guide you through the process of finding your own voice, helping you to create the confident, calm and connected life you wish to live. My style is compassionate, unbiased, and grounding, and I strive to create an environment that fosters growth, self-awareness and lasting change.

When you feel like you have too much on your plate, therapy allows you to come up for air, engage in meaningful self-reflection, and discover what you are made of and how you can be true to yourself going forward. Maybe you're struggling with recognizing and communicating your needs to others, or perhaps life is going really well and you're terrified of messing it up - I can help. My style of practice is authentic, compassionate, and straightforward, and I believe that a sense of humor goes a long way in helping people feel comfortable and connected.

You're a badass go-getter, motivated by working towards your life's goals, but something feels stuck or slows your progress. Your life is mostly together, but you're dealing with anxiety, low-self esteem, or negative self-talk pretty regularly. Maybe you feel like it's hard to form relationships with others around you. There's a chance social media makes you feel inadequate. Maybe you still feel or notice the effects of a trauma in your past. You've considered talking to someone about these things before, but therapy always seemed drastic or a little too extra. (I promise, it's not!) Email or call if this sounds like you!

Visit my website: drbonafina.com Navigating life's obstacles can be overwhelming. People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition -starting or ending school or work; moving to a new city; beginning or leaving a relationship-. At times, people feel stuck, frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you may find yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Perhaps you feel lost or you long for “something more” but have no clue what’s missing. I will work with you to help you find what you really want and deserve for your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist at Friendly City Psychology. I take an integrative, collaborative, and flexible approach to therapy. I am passionate about creating a safe space where clients can cultivate curiosity about their internal experiences, understand relational dynamics, and develop skills to regulate powerful emotions and change unhealthy patterns. I also help clients address sociocultural factors relevant to their daily lives, such as acculturation, systemic racism, white supremacist culture, etc.

I help clients who are struggling with a variety of issues including relationship, educational or professional concerns. I'll help you look at patterns of behavior, your upbringing, environment and current interactions so we can determine the next steps to achieve your goals. I value and respect the whole person and believe embracing all aspects of one's identity is essential. My practice is rooted in person-centered, strengths-based approaches that encourage clients to be active participants in identifying their strengths to achieve their goals.

Sometimes we have moments in our lives were we feel lost in our present and wonder where our confident past self went. We have other moments where we feel pulled in many directions by friends, family, work, and or school. This feeling of being pulled is overwhelming and sometimes brings about guilt. My name is Adenike (Aah-deh-knee-keh). I am a first-generation Nigerian/Haitian, queer, cis woman; my pronouns are she/her. Let’s sit down and talk about life. I will hold a safe, trusting, and non-judgmental space for your unique life experiences, true authentic self, and help guide you through life in a way that feels most comfortable
