You’ve been holding a lot—stress, expectations, responsibility, and emotions that don’t always have space to land.
You may feel pressure to stay strong while navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, sadness, or emotional overwhelm.
Here, you don’t have to explain yourself or carry it alone.

Accepting clients who have Cigna, Maryland Medicaid, Virginia Medicare, Carefirst (the whole BlueCross BlueShield network), and Aetna.
Hi prospective client, let’s figure out if this is a good fit. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other life issues are great candidates for therapy with me. I see individual clients of any age, families, and couples (however if under the age of 15, parent/caregiver collaboration is required). I offer a kind, supportive approach, with plenty structure and self-empowerment.

Many of the people I work with look put-together from the outside. Inside, though, there's often anxiety, guardedness, or a deep exhaustion that's hard to name. Relationship wounds, attachment trauma, fear of abandonment, and people-pleasing tendencies can quietly chip away at self-confidence. Past emotionally abusive relationships or a difficult childhood can make it genuinely difficult to feel safe. What most people are looking for isn't a dramatic transformation. It's relief from the inner critic, less constant worry, and the ability to feel grounded and at ease with others and with themselves.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and is seeking a therapist who truly holds space for the depth of their experiences. They may be navigating the lasting effects of abuse, struggling with their identity, or working through challenges related to current policies, sexuality, or sex work. They need a space where they feel safer, affirmed, and met with genuine compassion—where they don’t have to educate their therapist or fear judgment. Their goals might include processing past trauma, building healthier relationships, affirming identity, developing coping skills, or simply feeling more at home in themselves.

Licensed in both CA and DC, I believe therapy is a wonderful avenue for individuals to discover more about themselves and their self-worth. It is about growing, protecting boundaries, and healing through discovering and repairing past and present wounds.
I specialize in adolescents, teens, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, complex trauma, and difficulty with life transitions (moving, parenthood, marriage, etc). I am EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained to help individuals process and move past their traumatic experiences, allowing them to heal and find peace.

My name is Juanita Fontenot. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who graduated from the University of Maryland -Baltimore. I believe in a person-centered approach to everything, as we are humans first. I also think the resiliency of the human spirit is often unnoticed but should be celebrated. I use a trauma-informed lens to therapy and use a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution-focused brief therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing

You’re tired of being the “strong one.” At home, on the job, and even among your friends, you’re the one everyone calls when they need a solution. You’re so good at supporting others that no one knows you’re secretly falling apart – no one asks. Maintaining this image is exhausting, but you barely have time to notice the emotions. You bury your feelings with more work, so no one ever sees the real you. Ironically, the one person you never show up for is you. You’re an expert at meeting expectations, but it’s time you started taking care of yourself. It’s been so long. You’re not sure you remember how.

I serve clients in Ohio, Illinois, and DC. My approach to therapy is eclectic and tailored to fit each person I encounter. In general, I favor a relational approach that draws from psychodynamic perspectives. I understand how our earliest experiences and relationships can shape us, and I am deeply interested in what your early experiences and relationships taught you about the world. I also draw from third wave CBT modalities in order to assist you in unlearning those early lessons when needed. In this way, you can feel free to reshape living strategies which helped you to survive your past, but which are no longer serving you.

Many of my clients are women who have spent years being the strong one for everyone else and are now feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from themselves. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship challenges, career stress, or questions about identity and purpose. I also work with couples who feel stuck in repeating conflicts or struggling to reconnect emotionally. In our work together, we identify the patterns that keep people feeling stuck and develop practical tools that help individuals and couples move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and stronger relationships.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step? Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, past trauma, difficult relationships, or simply longing for more out of life, you don't have to figure it out alone.
I don't just want you to feel better, I want you to thrive. That means moving beyond symptom relief toward meaningful, lasting change. It takes real courage to ask for support, and I'm here to meet you wherever you are in that process.

I am in network with Aetna, Cigna and Blue Cross Blue Shield Massaachusetts.
I believe that all clients deserve space to be seen and supported to reach their goals, and I work hard to meet clients where they are at. That being said, my ideal client is the person who struggles with anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD (and maybe working on/ maintaining sobriety) who just needs some extra support and guidance to manage the symptoms of those illnesses, as well as all of the emotions of recovery and re-entry (structure, support, etc.). These clients are the ones who often benefit most from stabilization, goal-oriented treatment, and support with emotional regulation and/or building healthy routines.
