Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in U Street Corridor, Washington, DC

Todavía están tensos y con rabia por otra pelea a gritos que acaban de tener. Ni siquiera están seguros de qué se trataba esta vez. Últimamente, cualquier cosa pequeña puede desencadenar una batalla total entre ustedes. Ayer discutieron por sus suegros, el día anterior fue por dinero. Ha llegado al punto en que han comenzado a evitarse porque no pueden estar en la misma habitación sin pelear. ¿Sería mejor si simplemente separamos? No están listos para renunciar al sueño de un futuro compartido , pero las cosas solo empeoran. Quiere salvar esta relación, pero no está seguros de cómo hacerlo. Están ya desesperados sin saber que hacer!

Hello! Congratulations on taking this step in your mental wellness journey. When navigating through transitions, relationships, intersectionality, and other challenging aspects of life, you may find that you encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. These moments in which you are faced with change involve intention and care. Therapy allows you to enter a safe, warm, and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today with the hope that in time, you can begin to gain awareness and fulfillment, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.

My clients range from adolescents to adults, presenting with concerns around depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, family discord, work & academic stress/conflict, gender and sexual identity, racism, and relationship problems. I have worked with individuals who are coming to therapy for the first time and those who want a change of pace in their journey; what all my clients have in common is that they're ready and willing to start.

I believe in providing a safe, judgment-free, and supportive space for my clients. From a cognitive-behavioral approach, I aim to balance symptom relief in the present while managing life’s challenges and uncertainties. Along with this, I help develop insights and depth into why one’s struggles may be happening. I value a strong therapeutic relationship as a channel for understanding and a way to foster open and honest dialogue. My therapy style can be described as compassionate, direct, solution-oriented, and mind-body-focused. Together, we will create a personalized and flexible plan to create a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I am a openly Queer identified Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing psychotherapy to youth and families since 2017. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral therapy, an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to address Anxiety, Depression, Panic Disorder, Gender Dysphoria, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Grief, and Adjustment Disorders. Much of my career has been working with individuals and families in the BIPOC community and the LGBTQIA+ community ages 14+.

Thanks for visiting! We will be the right fit if you’re striving toward a better version of yourself. You might notice it's easier to think than feel–maybe even overthink–about how to live, be, and relate to others well. You want more honesty throughout your relationships (and with yourself), even when it's uncomfortable. You thrive with exploring, challenging questions, and occasional redirection toward larger goals. We will be reflecting on relationships, families of origin, career, and general stress of life that leads to feelings of discomfort.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with experience working alongside individuals with a range of mental health concerns. I have extensive training and specialization in the areas of anxiety and mood disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and severe and persistent mental illness (SMI). I am a Cognitive Behavioral psychologist who values eclecticism and integrating different therapeutic approaches to best meet each individual’s current perceived needs and goals. I approach therapy from a person-centered, strength-based, and collaborative perspective.

I believe everyone has the ability to learn new ways to cope and view their personal situation differently. Therapy is a place where you can access your most authentic self and allow the therapeutic process to guide healing. Through creating a safe, comfortable and trusting environment clients will be able to share honestly and receive genuine feedback. My approach is supportive and client centered. You are the expert of your past and together we will explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors to establish improved ways of being and building relationships with others to help shape your future.

Dr. Young is a multifaceted psychologist with experience providing therapy to a diverse group of clients of various ages, genders, and backgrounds. She has provided services in settings such as public schools, hospitals, community mental health centers, and private practices.

Feeling better is so possible, but it is not about getting rid of all "negative" thoughts and feelings – it’s about building the resilience. The therapy & coaching I offer is for folks interested in living a purpose-driven life, who are willing to take a close look at the patterns of thoughts, emotions, & behaviors that get in their own way. I work mostly with self-aware folks dealing with life transitions, anxiety, self-doubt, & perfectionist tendencies. We’ll work together to learn how to sit with yourself, clarify goals, & take value-driven actions that are in alignment with your desires.

Sometimes, we feel sad, angry, frustrated, disappointed, hurt, or find ourselves repeating patterns, but we are not sure why. Whether it's relationship or work issues, life can throw us curveballs. I look forward to working with those who need guidance, regardless of whether you have been in therapy before or just trying it out; together, we can uncover new pathways to your well-being.

I specialize in working with women who are struggling with infertility, pregnancy, or postpartum challenges; adult individuals trying to cope with daily life challenges; couples who are dating, engaged, married, or contemplating the decision to stay or leave; and adolescents and young adults navigating life transitions. Through a collaborative and engaged process, we will work together to help you gain insight and self-awareness, find inner peace, achieve your goals, and/or, in the context of couples therapy, navigate the challenges of your relationship in order to regain stability, trust, and emotional safety.

I am passionate about working with all minorities in society, including LGBTQ+ folx. I have experience working through taboo topics, trauma, racial identity and women's issues, and am vocal about my stance on social justice when necessary. I use an integrative approach to therapy to tailor sessions to the specific needs of each of my clients. I am humanistic, person-centered in my approach and facilitate interpersonal relational work. I am always strength based and really enjoy working with Black folx & people of color, but I am willing to work with anyone who is ready to work through current life stressors in non judgmental space.

As the only Licensed Systems-Centered Therapist in the DC area, together we will explore how to get more of what you want. In a supportive, safe environment, you'll learn methods to reduce anxiety, depression and identify patterns that likely served you at one time but are no longer effective. Initially, sessions will be focused on: Exploring the issues that are important to you - determine goals you want to achieve. We will begin to develop trust, respect, and a personal connection so that you feel safe and understood. Also specializing in marriage/couples work I am a Certified EFT - Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist.

I entered the mental health field, striving to de-stigmatize the idea of asking for help, providing support, and to start necessary conversations. I work with clients who would like to build their own strength, identify coping strategies and heal from issues that have not been dealt with yet. I have a passion for helping women of color improve their mental health and overall wellbeing through therapy.

The Pincus Center specializes in working with clients to build a life filled with pleasure and joy. We will help you to find your inner voice, establish your own goals and find a path that works for you. There is no one true way to do therapy or to live your life. We will help you find the tools to ride the waves of emotions that we all experience instead of being pulled under. We can't make everything perfect but we can make it better. We focus on issues around body acceptance, sexual freedom, neurodiversity, shame, low desire, sexual functioning issues and a wide variety of other mental health issues.
