Anxiety Therapists in Chevy Chase, Washington, DC

My practice is designed to give you the therapeutic tools and processing experiences necessary to bring balance to your nervous system. This approach can be helpful for clients who suffer the multi-systemic impacts of chronic and acute stress which can show up as anxiety disorders, PTSD and C-PTSD. People seeking support for anxiety related muscle tension, emotional dysregulation and those who identify as "highly sensitive" may also benefit. If it interests you, we can incorporate mindfulness, meditation, somatic movement, yoga based relaxation training or expressive techniques including role play into your sessions.

I provide a safe non-judgmental environment to address thoughts and feelings that may lead to negative consequences, by incorporating highly individualized strength based measures to manage stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues.

I take an individualized approach to therapy that’s tailored to your personal needs and goals. Within a warm and supportive environment, we examine the challenges you’re facing and the way forward. Using concrete skills and strategies, we'll work collaboratively to equip you with versatile tools to apply in your daily life.

I provide a positive and supportive approach to helping children, adolescents, adults and families who are navigating a variety of emotional or transitional challenges, including anxiety, mood disorders, school issues, family conflict and other sources of stress or disruption that may affect daily functioning or emotional well-being. I apply a person-centered and strength-based approach which involves respecting and encouraging a client's own goals and perspectives. I also work closely with parents to help identify practical and personalized strategies and interventions to address the many challenges that come with raising children and teenagers.

I see patients suffering from anxiety, depression, self-destructive patterns, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, identity, adjustment problems in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couple's counseling. My aim is to relieve mental distress and interpersonal conflict by deepening self-understanding and self-control. After 36 years in practice, my clinical experience is broad and deep. My reputation and publications on relational, religious and ethical topics sometimes attracts patients with these difficulties. A graduate of Harvard University (MBA,PhD) and Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, I practice in Washington, DC.

I'm a therapist committed to serving queer and trans youth, and all young people, with respect, compassion, and attentiveness. I specialize in helping kids with self-regulation, anxiety management, and processing grief and trauma. I work to build collaborative relationships with kids and their parents to create a safe(r) space where kids can get the support they need. In therapy, they will learn new skills and work on changing patterns that no longer work for them.

'We used to have such fun together; how can we get that back?" is a question many people have who come to see me. We all need help at one point or another in our lives. Seeking help for relationship struggles, sexual problems, anxiety, panic attacks, feeling depressed or 'stuck', is a great step forward towards feeling better. I've been practicing for 30 years, with expertise in helping people enjoy their relationships and lives again. I see people individually, in couples and in groups.

We are a group practice with a shared passion for women's mental health. Our clients are working professionals, parents, and students in all phases of life. We love to work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD/neurodivergence, relationship challenges, trauma, and eating disorders. Our team has experience in numerous evidence-based treatment modalities including EMDR, ACT, EFT, CBT, ERP, & DBT. We believe in collaborative, integrative, and holistic mental health care and are here to support you. We are proud to offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

If you are feeling stuck but want to move forward in life, or are in emotional pain, or seeking to work on mental health issues, I am happy to speak with you about individual psychotherapy or couple's therapy. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds on problems in their relationships, workplace, family life, and at times of difficult life transitions. I offer a safe environment to talk comfortably and work collaboratively to improve a client’s well-being. I specialize in helping lawyers and medical professionals under stress. And having had a past involvement in politics, I enjoy working with elected/government officials.

I see people who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or other unpleasant emotions who want to learn more about themselves as a way of relieving their stress. These unpleasant emotions may involve problems in work, school, or close interpersonal relationships.

I specialize in working with women in young adulthood and midlife who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, adjustment difficulties, "family history stuff," existential malaise, the perimenopausal and menopausal transitions, spiritual concerns, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living.

I specialize in working with teens and adults experiencing life transitions, chronic health conditions, GI disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I believe emotions are not meant to be overcome, but are natural signals we can use to deepen our relationships and life experiences. I also believe in the mind-body connection, and that a holistic health approach is central to healing. Lastly, I believe mental health is impacted by larger systems, power dynamics and historical context. As a result, I work with clients to recognize the impact of these broader systems, and advocate for change to support their wellness.

I work with individuals and families providing supportive psychotherapy to address life transitions, anxiety, depression, loss and parenting challenges. In addition, I also provide individual and group supervision for therapists and psychologists. After working at Johns Hopkins Child and Adolescent Clinic and then at Children's National Medical Center in Outpatient Psychiatry, I have been working in private practice for over fifteen years.

I am seeing clients online only in Tampa, Florida and Washington DC. If you suffer from anxiety, depression, low self esteem, or find yourself in recurring patterns of relationship difficulties or if you feel that something is missing in your life or you just wish to understand yourself better, psychoanalytic psychotherapy may be the answer you are looking for.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy with a high success rate in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, and many other problems. Together, I will help you identify what thoughts and behaviors have been unhelpful, preventing you from living the life you desire. You will learn strategies and techniques in session to apply in your daily life for effective change. We will work as a collaborative partnership, progressing at a pace most comfortable for you.

What would it feel like to have someone help you navigate life’s challenges? Using an integrative approach, I work collaboratively with clients to better understand feelings of anxiety, sadness, frustration, and how to manage them. We discuss what you wish to get out of therapy and, using techniques from evidence-based approaches, work towards making sure you get the most out of our time together. My training includes Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Relational-Cultural Therapy.

Feeling depressed, confused, anxious? Let's talk about how I might be able to help. Creating a safe and supportive space is an important for a good partnership in therapy. Rest assured that you will be entering the therapeutic process without judgment and with unconditional positive regard. I approach therapy as a collaborative process of exploration with the goal of achieving greater self-awareness and the ability to manage life in better balance. Good chemistry and a healthy rapport are essential elements in creating a meaningful working relationship.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy services to individuals and families in the Washington metropolitan area. With an interactive style, I use a positive, solution-focused approach and provide a non-judgemental atmosphere that allows for opportunities to decompress, reflect and problem solve. My 20 years of experience as a high school counselor at local independent schools has given me necessary insights into the lives of emerging adults and those who parent them.

In today’s stressful and uncertain world, each of us can experience challenges with anxiety, depression, major life transitions, and low self-esteem. I work to provide my clients with a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space to work through these challenges on their journeys to wellness and fulfillment. I support my clients as they find healing from trauma, develop meaningful relationships, achieve their life goals, and come to celebrate their truest, deepest selves.
