Now accepting new clients! At times life can feel overwhelming with limited resources for care, support, and true healing. When you find yourself asking, “what is wrong with me,” I find it helpful instead to be curious about what happened to you and how your story is a resource to helping unlock ways in which you feel stuck in painful emotions or unhelpful behaviors. Often, we need a compassionate and non-judgmental presence to guide us through these parts of our lives and I am committed to creating that space for clients to enter their journey toward deep, lasting healing & flourishing.

Sometimes life can be challenging either due to current events or past trauma. The way we make meaning of our circumstances is vital. Our feelings create our thoughts, our thoughts create our feelings, and both construct our reality. When we have the courage to face the patterns of how we think and feel, we can create a life full of meaning and value. Together, we can discover your truest self, your personal treasure, and your peace.

Hello! I currently do telehealth therapy for DC, MD, IL and SC. As an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDR Approved Consultant, I understand our struggles are not about "what's wrong with us" but "what happened to us." Looking to resolve current symptoms sometimes means healing from the past, while strengthening resources in the present and preparing for the future. I work with children, adolescents, and adults - individually and in caregiver-child dynamics - and invite you to reach out for a free consultation!

Life can be really hard and painful sometimes, and you may feel really alone in our struggles. You may have a relationship with someone you love but just can't seem to get along. You may be a parent trying to best figure out how to help a child or teen who is having problems. You may have anxiety that you can’t seem to push down any longer, and your thoughts seem to loop and loop. You have come to the right place.

Therapy is a shared journey that requires trust and investment on both ends. I know that this kind of trust can take time to build. As such, I will always offer patience, understanding, and an open mind regarding anything that may be on your path. I will also always welcome your questions, curiosities, and critiques, and strive to respond in an open, honest, and direct manner. As a counselor, I recognize that our social locations and differing experiences affect our perspectives and approaches to the world, and I hold this in mind as I work with clients.

Dr. Venus Evans-Winters is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma expert, and professor. She draws upon multiple therapeutic and psychoeducational techniques (e.g., cognitive, dialectical, and reality therapies) to meet clients' mental health and socio-emotional needs. A native of Chicago and representative of the hip-hop generation, she helps clients from diverse backgrounds cope with chronic stress and trauma. Her practice is influenced by Adlerian theory and centers on culturally responsive approaches to practice because we know that culture is a significant influence on one's perception of stress and self-efficacy.

Feeling confused or stuck? Therapy can help people identify and make progress on issues that are getting in the way of happiness, personal growth and fulfilling relationships in their lives. My professional experience includes success in helping teens and adults dealing with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance use, relationships, parenting, and family related issues. I have worked in the counseling center of a major university, in a substance use treatment facility, in community mental health, and in private practice. I am a local and fully independent clinician.

**Not Taking New Clients at this time**I work with adult individuals who are facing moments of psychological crisis as they seek a path to a healthier life. Our first session would be to introduce ourselves and identify what you want to work-on in therapy. Finding one's way through life's questions, challenges, transitions, and developmental stages is daunting. As a Jungian oriented psychotherapist, I believe that humans are predisposed to make their individual mark in the world. I will accompany you on your journey to achieving affective catharsis of a problem, gain insight into it, and learn new ways of coping/solving the problem.

Every person has a unique life story and their own journey that is no one else's. I truly believe you are the expert in your own life & the more you discover about yourself during therapy, the more healing can be achieved. I strive to develop an open, honest, and caring therapeutic relationship with each of my clients. I also carry an inherent believe that people are good. I aim to offer a mix between a laid back, relaxed, & comfortable environment while also being honest & assertive while in session.

I'm not currently taking new clients. My hope is that while in therapy with me, you will experience personal growth that provides you with a feeling of peace and a release from pain. Our work together could point you in the direction of a sustained sense of balance, happiness, and wholeness. I typically use a blend of cognitive-behavioral, family systems, and yoga therapies to work toward finding a lasting sense of well-being.

Before I was a therapist, I was an educator. For one course, my job was to teach first responders how to get important information from potentially traumatized witnesses/victims. I often wondered what I would do if I were permitted to see the crisis through. I believe it's my combination of a solid background in communication-which includes relationships, gender-speak, assertiveness and self-talk-and my education in Clinical Psychology and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor certification that provide for a well-balanced approach to individual counseling.
