We love working with young adults (20s and 30s) who may be struggling with anxiety and depression, or navigating challenges in their dating life. Maybe you just moved to D.C., started a new job, or just got engaged. Whatever your situation, you don’t have to go it alone. At DC Talk Therapy, our nine therapists specialize in helping young adults and professionals reduce anxiety, build confidence, and feel more grounded. We provide in-person therapy in Washington, D.C., and online therapy in Maryland and Virginia. Since opening our doors in 2012, we’ve helped more than 2,000 clients make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.
Anxiety is one of our core specialties. All of our therapists are trained in treating anxiety, using evidence-based approaches like CBT to help clients learn practical tools for managing fear and distorted thinking. We also have a substance abuse specialist, an LGBTQ specialist and a couples counselor.
We’re always accepting new clients. We answer the phone Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, to help match you with a therapist who fits your goals and personality. All of our therapists offer a free 15-minute phone consultation. Reach out today — your next chapter starts here. We've been voted Best Therapists in Washington, D.C., for six consecutive years.

David Sternberg is not only a present, attuned, and well-trained therapist, himself, he also hires well. He encourages his associated therapists to develop themselves out, professionally, in various ways (including ongoing clinical and peer supervision).

We have several CBT therapists on staff. Some of our other therapists are trained in other types of therapy, such as EMDR, DBT and mindfulness. In your first session, we'll explore your challenges and come up with a plan, which includes your goals. CBT is a great way to connect unhealthy thought patterns with troubling feelings and behaviors.
