Humanistic Therapists in 20057

Welcome to my profile! I'm a compassionate and dedicated psychologist with 12 years of experience. I specialize in helping individuals break free from repetitive and "stuck" thought patterns that may be hindering their personal growth and well-being. Our minds have a tendency to get caught in loops of negative or unhelpful thoughts, which can create distress and limit our ability to thrive. I believe in empowering individuals to challenge and move beyond these patterns, allowing them to embrace new perspectives.

College students and young adults experiencing big life changes: does it ever feel like despite having your "life together", you still feel stressed and overwhelmed?

[Offering Secure Video Options to individuals in VA & DC] Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” These words, written by Pema Chödrön, capture the nature of the therapeutic relationship. Our work will look like joining together as we honor your story and compassionately notice the places in your heart that feel broken and are hurting.

Unresolved childhood trauma has a lingering impact. You may look back on certain events or relationships and feel overwhelmed by painful emotions, hurtful memories, and confusion. You might struggle to set boundaries, honor your values, express your needs, or be kind to yourself. Childhood trauma might also be a reason you feel stuck in relationship patterns, manage stress in unhealthy ways, feel disconnected from your body or emotions, or struggle with perfectionism and shame. If this is you, I'm so glad you are here. You deserve to heal, to feel safe, to be the one who decides how your life goes moving forward.

Hi there! I’m Dr. Ameena, a licensed clinical psychologist, actively practicing in the DMV area. I am a generalist practitioner and treat individuals across the lifespan with a variety of presenting concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder). Some of my specialties include working with individuals who have acute and chronic medical conditions (e.g., cancer, transplant recipient, chronic pain), as well as their caregivers. I have primarily worked in hospital settings, although have also worked in community mental health agencies and private practice.

For many people, therapy can provide relief from suffering and give a person a deepened awareness of their life. Therapy can help us gain an active perspective in living a full and meaningful life. Whether one is struggling with depression, anxiety, or interpersonal problems, therapy may be a helpful journey to alleviate the pain. My approach is interpersonal and psychodynamically informed while also exploring concrete solutions. Many people can feel better in a couple sessions and others are looking for a long term process. Both can be helpful.

Retiring from work can be one of the most significant life transitions we will ever face. It can feel like everything is changing all at once. We might feel anticipation and freedom but also apprehension or anxiety. Retirement can raise new questions about our identity, purpose, relationships, and about what it means to age well. The good news is you don’t have to walk this path alone. I can help!
