CareFirst Therapists in Washington, DC

Originally from Asuncion, Paraguay, I have lived in the DMV for the past 7 years. Navigating life as a Queer Latino, I oftentimes felt unseen and misunderstood in a society that did not fully accept my identity. This was amplified when experiencing acts of prejudice. Yet, despite these negative encounters, I was able to find comfort and happiness in a community that prioritizes mental health. This motivated me to want to help others who might share my experience.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia and a National Certified School Counselor. I have been providing therapy since 2016 in the District. In this time I have gained more knowledge, commitment to leadership, and adaptability to best support clients. I have worked with youth, adolescents, and young adults in the urban community. During this time I have worked in the community in crisis management, supporting mental health initiatives, while fostering therapeutic relationships with clients and their families.

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.

I genuinely enjoy working with women focusing on empowerment in dating, sexuality, and relationships. If you're single having challenges engaging in healthy dating patterns, or if you're trying to maintain your identity while in a relationship - you're my ideal client. I'm also helpful to individuals who are experiencing challenges in their personal life with transitions; managing difficult emotions; symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step on your healing journey! My name is Sonjiah Davis, most people call me Adwoa.

I have worked with individuals, children and families in many capacities, with a focus on alternative lifestyles and sex positivity. I welcome all religious/spiritual and non belief systems and family dynamics. I look forward to assisting you on your journey to be the best person you envision yourself to be.

Life is lived in the intersection where intentions and outcomes are determined by our actions. We are happy when our intentions match our outcomes... but when they do not, we can feel stressed, anxious, depressed, disappointed or even desperate. At such moments, it is helpful to speak to someone that can help us feel understood and find the courage to power forward.
