Many challenges in life can feel like they are uniquely yours to bear alone; however, this is rarely the case. People visit me concerned about how they feel and function in key life and professional relationships. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on a variety of overlapping issues such as anxiety and depression, self-esteem, parenting children with special needs, setting limits with adult children, work/life balance issues, and sexual desire issues in committed relationships. Often these issues can be helped by addressing the common denominator of individual development within a family or relationship system.

Are you looking for a change and a way to erase the stigma within communities that seeking outside help is not what "we" do? I believe you are, as you took the first big step to do the research. I am proud of you! Therapy is a way for people from all walks of life to express themselves while learning effective therapeutic positive skills to assist with managing their everyday life through the various trials and tribulations they may face.

What prevents us from being the best version of ourselves? If we are optimal, life is more gratifying - we accomplish goals, we feel good, and we tend to have daily satisfaction. The challenge - life happens, and this challenges us. My objective is to be your life coordinator, therapist, no. 1 fan, to help you strive and be the best version of yourself, physically and mentally. I currently serve in our United States Air Force, and my area of focus has been performance enhancement work with High-Reliability Organizations, to include Special Forces, pilots, and other operators, both male and female, with a wide range of demographics.

Throughout my years of practice my work has been enriched by all the people I have supported to experience their capacity while navigating some of life’s most difficult challenges. Now more than ever, living in a COVID-19 pandemic, facing day to day challenges can feel even more overwhelming. I believe in each person’s competence and resilience, and I am confident that I can help clients to live life to the fullest with integrity, dignity and courage. I work with families, couples and individuals from diverse backgrounds. LGBTQ clients are welcome.

Hi! My name is Juli Griffin Gross and I would love the opportunity to meet you. I am focused on active listening and collaborating with you in meeting your goals and improving your mental health.

As a client-centered, resiliency-oriented therapist, I provide supportive, practical psychotherapy to help people navigate challenging times in their lives. By identifying and making use of their strengths and the "protective factors" in themselves and their lives, I help my clients gain insight to make choices that lead to healing, health, success and happiness.

Life is unavoidably full of transitions, stressors, disappointments, and losses that create blocks to the life you want to lead. I provide a break from the busyness, to explore where you are and where you want to go. That path to change may include new ways of relating to relationships, work demands, past trauma or other external factors. Additionally, growth may be shifts in internal dialogues that lead to challenges, like anxiety and depression. Whatever your goals, my role is to hold a compassionate space to be curious about your needs, to connect your past to your present, and to find a way forward towards the change you desire.

I am a new solo mother , private practice owner, and licensed clinical social worker – certified (LCSW-C), with 19 years experience in the Mental Health Field working with a variety of mental and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger and stress management, childhood/adolescent developmental stressors, and life transitional stages.

Parenting children and teens can be overwhelming. Allow me to help support, encourage, and empower you along your parenting journey. I provide developmentally sound individual psychotherapy to children and teens, using evidence-based treatment approaches rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Treatment approaches are tailored to fit your child’s unique needs. I give parents tools to build and strengthen healthy, loving relationships with their children. I am licensed to practice in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.

You having more and more bad days...and it's getting harder to hold things together. Sometimes you have self-doubt, self-hate; other times you feel that no one understands what you're going through. At times, you take out your frustrations on others, feel stuck in life and you wonder if you'll EVER get over it (whatever the IT is). I understand and I'm here to help. You may know exactly what you want to change or you may need help in exploring the reasons why you feel this way. In any case, we can work together on a new vision, plan, and way of living for you!

Robert has ten years working in educational settings, half spent as an academic counselor, foster youth case manager, and clinical counselor. Robert has experience working with teens and early adult populations experiencing low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, trauma, difficult life transitions, and relationship issues. Robert has experience at a community-based site and university psychological counseling center utilizing CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed care modalities.

In my practice, I provide individual therapy to adult survivors of trauma, grief, and loss, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. I collaborate with people who want to uproot stigma, stuckness, and what no longer serves in their lives. I support people who want to plant reparative seeds, and who want to grow a life-story that centers healing, radical self-care, improved quality of life, and deliberate joy. While I hold specialized awareness to the unique stressors impacting black women and women of color, I am fully committed to holding a safe space for all women, LGBTQ+ communities, and allies.

I am a psychodynamically-trained, interpersonally-oriented, and existentially curious practitioner. The therapy that I practice is relational in nature — I aim to work both through the lens of relationships and in relationship with patients. I am of the belief that what arises through therapeutic process is equally as important as the therapeutic outcomes.
