"Deciding to seek treatment is a courageous decision. The road through recovery often comes with a range of thoughts and feelings for anyone taking on the journey themselves, but also for their loved ones. During this process it's important to know you are not alone and there can be a plan in place to reach your goals if you are ready to go on the journey."

"Women work hard, love deeply, and give of themselves so much that they can be left with little to no energy left for self care. My clients are smart women, but they are often caught up in trying to be the perfect employee, partner, mommy, sister, daughter, and friend. Many have not addressed trauma from their past. I want to help women to find a better balance, a path forward, and the ability to voice their wants and needs in a way that is understood by everyone around them."

"I believe that we are all capable of change and recovery because we are all recovering from something in life. My passion is helping those who battle addiction and many of life's daily struggles. I enjoy empowering others to discover their inner potential and strengths. My goal is to reinforce one's own abilities to overcome obstacles in life. My direct approach helps you gain clarity on the direction you want your life to take you. I take pride in my ability to form connections with others, to anticipate their needs, and help people change in order to attain healthier and more productive lives."

"I am a clinical psychologist practicing in Tysons Corner, Virginia and the Friendship Heights area of Northwest Washington, DC, and treat adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach is interactive, hopeful, and supportive. Some of my specialty areas include depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationships, and adolescent distress (including parent/teenager communication). I work in a collaborative and flexible manner. I help clients to gain greater insight into their behaviors, thought patterns, and emotional reactions. As self-awareness develops, clients report an increased sense of control over their choices, improved self-worth and, as a result, more rewarding relationships and fulfilling lives."

"I hold a Master of Art degree in Art Therapy from George Washington University where the emphasis was on providing trauma informed care. I have worked as a certified drug and alcohol counselor for over 10 years providing individual, couples, and group counseling. I maintain my License Addiction Counselor in the state of South Dakota where I am from, and hold a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in the state of Virginia."

"Life can be wonderful, but it can also present us with many challenges. Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, a major life transition or stressful life event, adolescent or parenting issues, or simply want a better understanding of yourself and others, therapy can be a helpful journey to bring about healing, insight and change. As a therapist with over 12 years of experience, my therapeutic style would best be described as integrative, as I draw from a variety of perspectives and techniques including CBT, psychodynamic, solution focused, trauma informed, family systems and play therapy."

"I specialize in helping individuals and couples overcome personal and relationship blocks. You and I will explore the sources of your difficulties and work to develop an understanding of life-long patterns. We will discuss your personal history, your strengths and goals, then tailor a treatment plan addressing your needs. My focus is to help achieve greater awareness of your automatic internal dialogue and patterns of emotional reactions that underlie your symptoms so that you can become more sensitive to your unspoken needs and achieve more fulfilling relationships."

"I seek to help uncover the underlying conflicts and often unconscious roots of psychological problems. I work with you to develop insight into what underlies your anxiety or depression and to make room for growth and change. When a problem, like ADHD, requires more "hands on" help, I can help tease out what can be treated through psychotherapy, and what might need more direct intervention and even coaching. I provide parenting support, family therapy and couples counseling. I also provide psychological testing, including ADHD and AAP testing for school aged children and adolescents and complete evaluations for differential diagnosis."

"Entering into therapy can be a difficult and intimidating process. It involves being honest with yourself and it takes courage and strength to open up to another person. As a psychologist who has worked with many individuals and couples, I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgemental environment. I enjoy helping people successfully deal with issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. I work in a warm and collaborative manner to identify treatment goals, instill a sense of hope, and learn effective coping skills that can lead to a better quality of life overall."

"I work in a cognitive behavioral conceptual framework and use a range of skills and tools to help people feel better, improve functioning, and better cope with life's difficulties. These difficulties may involve stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, bipolar disorder, OCD, anger, coping with cancer or other chronic illnesses, marital distress, interpersonal problems, or trauma/PTSD. In the process of our interactive work together, we will clarify what processes are disruptive and help you learn ways to better adjust, cope, and deal with those difficulties. In this way, stress is reduced and life satisfaction is enhanced."

"EXECUTIVE COUNSELOR As a former senior level executive, I specialize in meeting the needs of talented, busy professionals that have unique challenges in the their work and family lives. My ideal client is one who has a strong desire to make meaningful changes in their life. Courage and a desire to work hard are integral.

"I can assist you in getting insurance reimbursement! Women work hard, love deeply, and give of themselves so much that they can be left with little to no energy left for self care. My clients are smart, but they are often caught up in trying to be the perfect employee, partner, mommy, sister, daughter, and friend. Many have not addressed trauma from their past. I want to help women to find a better balance, a path forward, and the ability to voice their wants and needs in a way that is understood by everyone around them."

I offer a collaborative approach to therapy and provide an environment of acceptance, warmth and respect that allows my clients to gain insight, self-efficacy, and empowerment while working toward an ultimate goal of well-being, growth and healing."

"In my role as a psychotherapist over the past 20+ years, I strive to develop supportive, warm, and trustworthy relationships with my clients. Empathy is the foundation of my practice. My priority is to know and understand you and then together create a road map to feeling better. Over time, we will establish your personal goals, define the challenges that confront you, develop new ways to cope with overwhelming emotions, and establish practical strategies to improve your day to day life. Every individual is different, and I look forward to discussing which methods work best for you. Every path is unique."

"Starting therapy and facing life's most difficult challenges may be intimidating. To help reduce your anxiety about treatment, I work to provide an open, warm, and accepting environment. I believe each individual is capable of using their strengths and wisdom to tackle problems and having the right therapist enhances these capabilities. I challenge clients to develop new skills and insights to aid in healing and live a better life by employing an integrative therapeutic framework utilizing psychodynamic, relational, and behavior theories including mindfulness and Dialectical Behavior therapy."

"My clients benefit from a receptive nonjudgmental listener who provides short term ways to address problems as well as longer term solutions. I provide guidance, encouragement, and support and welcome my clients into a setting where they can safely share their current circumstances and the problems they are confronting. Together we explore how to improve the quality of life. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, specifically tailored to individual needs to promote successful outcomes."

"I am a psychologist in the Tysons Corner area and have been seeing clients for 34 years. My goal is to create a therapy experience that feels respectul, supportive, safe and yet challenging. As a therapist I work in a number of ways. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, because I believe strongly in the power of words. One goal is to identify self-destructive thought patterns and to develop new empowering patterns. I also use insight therapy to release the hold of old perceptions and feelings which are no longer helpful and to consciously choose the life you want now."

"I work with children, adolescents, and adults in individual and group therapy settings. I specialize in treatment of clients with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and other learning difficulties, developmental delays, sensory integration challenges, social skill deficits, behavioral disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma histories including but not limited to neglect, sexual, and physical abuse, adjustment disorders, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, anger management, and parent-child relational issues. I have experience working with clients impacted by the adoption and foster care system, homelessness, domestic violence, special education, and residential treatment."

"Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn about my practice. Seeking professional support and guidance is a tremendous strength and an indication that you are proactive in making changes in your life. I became a clinical social worker 15 years ago because I truly enjoy the experience of supporting people through difficult times and life transitions. My style is friendly, non-judgmental, sensitive, and straightforward. Our sessions will be interactive, with me asking questions, listening to your responses, and providing insight, support and constructive feedback. I look forward to the possibility of us working together."

"I provide therapy and short-term crisis counseling to adolescents, adults, couples, and families as well as crisis therapy for schools, businesses, and corporations. I offer tailored, comprehensive therapy for patients through in-office sessions as well as via phone calls and on-site interventions."
