Therapists in Washington, DC

Feeling stuck or fed up with your current therapist? Let's get real – life can be tough. It’s especially hard on ambitious people, parents & perfectionists who are expected to have it all together. The more successful you are (or are expected to be), the more difficult it is to keep it all together. Add anxiety, depression, & relationship issues – forget it. And the more that you achieve, the harder it becomes to find a therapist of your caliber or solutions that work for your complex issues. But I'm not here to hand out generic advice or quick fixes. I'm here to help you uncover the root of your challenges & build lasting changes.

I like to create an inviting and safe environment for clients to be authentic and comfortable sharing openly, without fear of judgment. I have experience working mainly with women involving a variety of issues. I provide support in helping clients with postpartum depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self-esteem, and so forth. Taking the first step to seek a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I am here to support clients in that process.

Hello! My Name is Jennifer. I am a therapist with Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services. We are a multicultural and multi-lingual practice offering therapeutic services to children, teenager, and adults. Our clinicians are trained to utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to support and empower a diverse population.

My psychotherapy practice focuses on: 1) working professionals (managers, lawyers, professors, graduate students) to improve their work/academic performance, emotional self-care, better managing difficult emotions and relationships, increasing understand of how past experiences are affecting current mood and performance; 2) working with parent and children/teens to improve the quality / flexibility of relationships and parenting skills (helping children better regulate emotions and behaviors), as well as understand how past family-of-origin experiences may be influencing their current parenting style (reflective parenting).

My therapeutic style is rooted in integration, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to tailor sessions to each client's unique needs. The goal is to create a safe haven where clients can rediscover their authentic selves, fostering vulnerability and transparency that paves the way for transformative change. Let's embark on this journey together toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Young adulthood is one of the most formative and also challenging years of our lives. Your path forward might not always feel obvious or smooth. As a therapist, I provide a safe and empathetic environment for you to explore what matters to you most. The people I work with face challenges around major life changes and adjustments, school, college, and careers, relationship issues, family conflict, and parent-child conflict. I have many years of experience helping clients work through past trauma, those with anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

I focus my efforts on training and advocacy on diversity, inclusion, equity, and intersectionality awareness and practices.

Welcome! My name is Julia and I can't wait to hear your story. I am passionate about therapy rooted in insight and action. This can look like naming perfectionism as a learned behavior that is no longer serving you, or better understanding the role you played in your family system and how this shows up in your relationships. Once we better understand our patterns we can answer the the ever vital question: Now what? My approach is warm, collaborative, and -above all- curious. Where insight and action meet we can find peace, growth, and even a bit of magic.

I am committed to helping clients feel their best and believes clients are the experts in their journey.

I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space.

Founder of Capitol Hill Consortium for Counseling & Consultation LLC (CCCC). We have a multicultural staff to serve children, adolescents, and adults. We believe that psychotherapy is one of the most precious gifts you can give yourself. It is the process of self-discovery, self-enlightenment, and self-empowerment. We focus on the whole person and the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects of the self. Those who have undergone the process are often healthier than those who have not.
