Asian Therapists in Washington, DC
A patient wrote this to me: "You are someone who knows the song in my heart, and could sing it back to me when I had forgotten the words." In my over 27 years of psychotherapy practice, I have learned several things: one is, in meeting with patients, to clear my mind (at least to try hard!) of all the theories and clinical orientations I have absorbed and to allow my emotions, mind, body, and considerable life experience to be present in our interactions. [Please note that I do NOT accept CareFirst BlueCHOICE, just PPO and Federal.]

You may feel like you’re the only one experiencing sexual challenges in your relationship, but difficulties like low desire, painful sex, or premature ejaculation are more common than you think. If you’ve been afraid to talk about your sexual challenges, you probably feel alone, overwhelmed, and unsure about what to do. If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner may have stopped talking about sex, deepening the disconnection and feelings of loneliness and shame. Fortunately, there is a way out of this negative cycle, and you can create the sex life and relationship you desire.

Thank you for your interest. My practice is taking new clients. My ideal client is one who shows up ready to do their work. They may not have clarity or insight about what should happen next, but they know that they want to feel better &/or have their lives function in a better way. That’s a client who makes my work easier. I know that they will match my efforts. My second ideal client is one who has had a not-so-good or effective therapeutic experience in their past, but they’re willing to try again.

My people are adults, kids, & teens who are done pretending that everything's fine. That includes BIPOC clients healing from racial trauma, LGBTQIA+ folks needing a therapist who gets it, gamers tired of being pathologized, and people wrestling with depression, grief, ADHD, or family chaos. They come when the usual coping isn't cutting it anymore. With 30+ years of experience, I bring warmth, humor, and zero judgment. All of you belong here. Welcome.

Therapy is an opportunity to get to know yourself better and decide if there are other choices and/or life paths available to you. It is not an easy process, but many find that it is well worth the effort. I can help you make the best use of this opportunity. I work with patients with a wide variety of challenges including eating disorders, mood disorders (depression and anxiety), relationship issues, parenting children with special needs, and loss. Feel free to check out my website for more info www.drlhulier.com or call 202-262-1483.

Being South Asian and having grown up in the United States, I have first hand knowledge of the challenges of straddling two cultures, negotiating family expectations, and developing a self that feels authentic.
Finding the right therapist is difficult, isn't it? So hard to tell from reading the profile if she will be a good match for you. Perhaps you are asking yourself questions like "Do I really want to do this?", "Can I speak freely to a stranger?", "How do I know she will understand me and my issues?", or "How does therapy work?" It's understandable to have reservations. Call/e-mail me to set up a free, no obligation session and we can address your concerns. You'll be able to tell if you feel safe and heard.

I believe therapy is about creating a safe and supportive space to process vulnerable and authentic emotions. I value building meaningful relationships and view therapy as a collaborative journey, where each conversation serves as a stepping stone toward healing and self-discovery. Through open and genuine dialogue, we can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in ways that foster connection, understanding, and personal growth. Conversations hold the transformative power to help us navigate challenges, uncover insights, and cultivate deeper relationships—with others and, most importantly, with yourself.

Is it the same argument with your partner, your mom, or even yourself? If you feel triggered, hurt, or stuck in the same painful patterns, you're not alone. Together, we'll explore relationship challenges, process painful experiences, and identify patterns that no longer serve you. As a trauma-informed therapist trained in EMDR, I help clients heal from trauma and other distressing life experiences. Therapy should be able to offer some measure of immediate relief while also helping create emotional changes that can last a lifetime.

Finding your place in the world when you don't fit the mold? I specialize in working with queer folks, neurodivergent folks, men, and gamers (often all four), especially grad students navigating identity, isolation, and 'what's the point of all this?' We'll use D&D, gaming, and your actual interests as clinical tools to address depression, anxiety, and existential drift. This is therapy that gets you, uses what you love, and actually fits how your brain works.

We all have anxieties. We have defenses against hurt that we build up over time, that become solidified into unproductive patterns of behavior and prevent us from living our best lives. We all, from time to time, lose connection with ourselves and those around us, as we try and do the million things that daily life demands of us. It’s okay. You’re not alone.

I work with adolescents, college students, and adults navigating identity, relationships, life transitions, ADHD, grief, anxiety, depression, and the complexities of social and family dynamics. Many of my clients are thoughtful, creative individuals who find themselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are and where they want to go next. My approach is grounded primarily in talk therapy, offering a warm, collaborative space where we can explore patterns, deepen self-understanding, and build practical tools for navigating life's challenges.

I treat children as young as three, have experience with school phobia, adoption, blended families, gender issues, gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals, and the challenges of elderly. I am experienced working with psychoses, severe post traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and problems of every day life. I have special expertise working with the LGBTQ+ population, with adolescents, sexual development, severe mental illness, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical illnesses.

At Aeris Counseling, I see therapy as a space shaped by change — much like clouds in the sky. Clouds remind me that life is layered, ever-shifting, and always moving toward new forms. In the same way, I believe therapy offers room to hold what feels heavy, to notice what is transforming, and to discover new ways of being.
You may be carrying grief, navigating cultural transitions, adjusting to family dynamics, living with chronic pain, or facing fertility and postpartum challenges. The first step into therapy is often the hardest — it doesn’t require clarity, just openness. And by being here, you’ve already begun.

Saludos! Do you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism? I would love to connect with you. I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I work with high achieving professionals, graduate students, scientists, and civil servants looking to handle their harsh inner critic and break free from "imposter syndrome". I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from avoidant behaviors (e.g., procrastination) that hinder their ability to reach their goals.
