"I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. My clinical experience has been working with children and adolescents, providing individual, family, and play therapy. I also have extensive experience and specialized training in working with young children (zero to five). My clinical focus with children supports my belief that by fostering healthy social and emotional development and strengthening child-caregiver relationships, clients can and will begin to experience positive change."

"Are you going through a challenging transition or midlife crisis? Perhaps struggling with anxiety, stress, sadness or other difficult emotions? I can help. Together we'll explore your situation, identify what's holding you back, and support you to make changes that improve your life. My style is relaxed, warm, interactive and focused on helping you use your strengths. Clients I work best with are motivated, want to understand themselves better, and enjoy their life more than they currently are. I'm glad you're taking this important step to feel better. (For professionals seeking career coaching, I'm also a Professional Certified Coach.)"

"Searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming, however, finding a good fit is imperative in order to get the most out of your time, effort, and finances. You want to find someone that allows you to feel safe, understood, and ultimately maximizes results for you. I take a warm, empathetic and comprehensive approach to help individuals experiencing stressful circumstances live more meaningful and balanced lives. I work with you to figure out what you need and want in life and help identify and make changes in your life to be the best version of yourself."

"Whether you want to lift your mood, improve relationships, overcome issues from your past, change behaviors that hold you back, or help your child to feel better - I look forward to helping you. Therapy can be a catalyst for change: to help you weather a storm, get out of a rut, tackle a challenge ... in short, to create the life you want to be living. I became a therapist, and created Catalyst Counseling Services, because I believe that when you're matched with the right provider - therapy works."

"Urban living has its unique challenges, which can lead to stress, depression, anxiety, feelings of emptiness, a sense of loneliness and other highly charged feelings and experiences. Are you in transition, a "transplant" to the area or maybe you have lived here all of your life? Are you having relationship problems...going through a break-up, separation or divorce? Are you experiencing difficulty in connecting with others? Maybe you are experiencing a crisis in your career, feeling mismatched-unfulfilled? Or are you feeling unhappy but can't figure out the source, the "why" you are feeling this way?"

"I offer psychological evaluations and have experience working with local schools and testing companies offering tests such as the SAT. I have a great deal of success helping individuals needing accommodations in the classroom or on standardized exams. Specifically, I offer cognitive/IQ testing, achievement testing, psychoeducational testing, personality evaluations, diagnostic evaluations, and admissions testing."

"Typically, I work with clients ranging in age from 12 through adulthood. Many of my clients are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, job or school performance, relationship issues (couples, parenting, family of origin, and work). Often people come to a juncture in their lives when they know something must change. My work focuses on the desired change each person brings. Together we address reducing symptoms, removing obstacles to growth and increasing life satisfaction. Techniques including NLP, non-verbal presence, mindfulness are offered. Executive coaching, leadership and team building, masterful communication, and conflict mediation skills are offered to organizations."

"Heidi's clients include men, women, and adolescents who are struggling with difficult transitions, trauma, past or present abuse or childhood emotional neglect, or substance abuse. Many of these clients express sadness that they feel lonely or disconnected in relationships or with friends. Her clients describe patterns of behavior or emotional struggles that reoccur despite trying to change. She believes an empathetic, nonjudgmental relationship is necessary to help clients explore these issues, identify self-defeating patterns, and make sustainable changes. Coming to therapy can be a difficult experience, but she knows it can be deeply rewarding."

"Misunderstood, alone, angry, confused, sad, anxious, apathetic, lost. These are a few common emotions that can often feel overwhleming and never-ending. My goal as a therapist is to help people uncover their own strengths, accompany them on their healing journey, and empower them with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges, relationships, and experiences. I work with adults and adolescents experiencing a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, suicide thoughts, self-harm, interpersonal conflict, anger, emotional regulation, low self-esteem, life transitions, and behavioral problems."

"An awareness of our inner state of being and how to connect with the stillness is an important part of our journey to wellness and well-being. I offer this to all of my clients. I am a licensed clinical social worker with 18 years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families in residential treatment, outpatient behavioral health and hospice care. I have also worked with adults providing individual, couples therapy, and hospice care. For 10 years, I have worked with military families in the D.C. area addressing issues around military life, deployment, resilience, and mental health."

"I maintain a flexible and novel therapy practice working with adults in the greater DC area. I am happy to speak with you to see if I can help. In addition to offering talk therapy, I often use the Alpha-Stim, a medication-free treatment for anxiety, depression, & insomnia. I utilize the Alpha-Stim within the office and also offer a means for clients to use the device at home. Additionally, when you call me, please ask me about the benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy - a unique and highly efficient brief therapeutic approach for recovery from trauma, anxiety, and depression."

"Asking for help can often be an indication of courage and strength. All individuals have life issues and knowing when to seek help is essential to well being. I am a psychologist who works diligently with my clients to identify and examine maladaptive patterns that cause obstacles to living well. Through this process, the elements needed for positive change (e.g., insight, acceptance) materialize and help move one to live a more healthy and fulfilling life. In therapy, I place great value on the relationship between the therapist and the client, so I strive to create a safe, comfortable, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment."

"My practice specializes in helping children, adolescents, adults and couples to work through and move forward past one's anxiety, depression, adjustment issues from separation/divorce or grief, social skill challenges, past trauma, addictions, obsessive compulsive issues, disruptive behaviors, attention issues and tourette syndrome."

"The purpose of therapy, as opposed to just talking with a friend or family member, is to facilitate personal and professional growth. This growth is typically most needed in the areas of relationships, mood, performance and an overall improved integration of one's values. In order to make growth possible, one must feel safe in an objective, confidential environment. My primary goal is to offer a safe and supportive place. Throughout the entire process, I will encourage, guide, challenge and support you in making the changes you deem to be right for you."

"Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, hurt, frustrated? Are you struggling with work, communication, relationship, parenting or children challenges? I am a friendly easy to talk with therapist who enjoys working adults, teens, young adults and children. As an individual, couple or family, I will strive hard to help you solve and cope with new problems, ongoing struggles and be more successful, peaceful, happy and connected. You can expect with my 8 years of counseling experience and 20 years of prior business experience, I will work to quickly understand and help. I can provide Christian counseling, if desired."

"My approach to treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment. It's important for me to hear your story and to understand who you are and what you need. I believe that everyone possesses the capacity for self-directed growth and that an empathic, objective and nonjudgmental environment supports that growth."

"I believe in creating a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their own inner world, as well as provide guidance to healthy coping and life skills. I work with clients suffering from current or past traumas, anxiety, adjustment disorder, ADHD, depression and identity exploration. I have a compassionate, yet direct, style and utilize a combination of traditional talk therapy, mindfulness and the latest research in neuroscience. I have extensive experience working with children - both in a school and private practice setting. I have considerable training in and experience using Play Therapy with children and teens."
