CareFirst Therapists in Washington, DC

We all carry within us a dream, a purpose, a strength that flows, like water through our veins and every part of our being. It even flows through fear, pain, disappointment and all sorts of perceived failure. It gives meaning to life. It heals. It inspires. DreamWell LLC was born out of my dream to facilitate healing and to positively impact the lives of others. I hope to empower and support you in addressing the issues that have interrupted the flow of your personal and professional life and dreams.

Welcome to my practice!. What ever your needs, I approach our work with zest and empathy which comes from broad experience working in psychiatric and health settings. Whether with problems of elderly, families,couples or people facing job loss, academic problems, illness, bereavement, trauma or the loneliness of anxiety and depression, psychotherapy can bring relief and find inner strengths and possibilities. I focus especially on communication skills, and deprograming early dysfunctional messages which interfere with forming relationships in all aspects of life. Together we will meet your immediate needs and begin a longer journey towards fulfilling your deepest aspirations.

As a queer trans neurodivergent therapist with my own history of trauma, I know what it's like to feel trapped in cycles you can't seem to escape, and I know what it's like to fear judgment based on what you do to survive. I have a decade of experience providing culturally affirming, trauma-responsive counseling and care to LGBTQ clients and others directly impacted by intersectional oppression. If you are struggling - if you feel stuck - I can help you escape patterns of survival and learn to thrive. I can help you unpack trauma and move forward unburdened.

My practice is guided by your needs and goals. Through an integrative approach, I will help you identify your strengths, goals, and the barriers that have been keeping you from improving your life. By understanding how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interrelate, you will be better equipped to make effective changes. I will help you acquire and incorporate skills that will allow you to improve your overall wellness, relationship with others, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

Jamie's therapeutic focus is on you and your unique perception of your daily life and surrounding environment. It is explored through verbal and symbolic forms of individual and group psychotherapy. This process creates a focused consciousness on your personal inner perceptions regarding who you are and who you want to become. As a Washingtonian herself, Jamie understands the challenges you face while living in a demanding city where many people feel a balanced lifestyle is unattainable. Jamie is most gifted in her work with individuals who have a history of disordered eating, grief and loss, trauma, and abuse.

I believe that our relationship is a partnership and that my role is to get a better understanding of how you approach life and how that approach either helps or hinders what you want. It is my experience in working with clients that all behaviors, thoughts and feelings are rational given past experience. Challenges in relationships and well-being are often developed when previously effective behaviors are no longer helpful in a new environment or under a new set of experiences.

Many clients I work with are struggling to find comfort and balance due to sudden events or long-standing dissatisfaction with aspects of their life. While I believe every stage of life brings opportunities for growth, times of transition may bring uncertainty, conflict, and loss. I strive to be gentle and empathic, as I encourage clients to go at their own pace, to seek their own truth, and to find their own voice. I provide a warm, non-judgmental, interactive therapy relationship that aims to help people deepen their insight, break unhealthy patterns, and create more satisfying and fulfilling lives.

Do you struggle with chronic worry, anxieties about your health, or intense fears or phobias? Your mind is filled with intrusive negative thoughts that won’t go away. The worrisome thoughts disrupt your life. Anxiety can have a grip on you that you don’t feel you have any control over. You can end up feeling helpless and desperate for relief. I’m a skilled anxiety therapist who uses exposure therapy, a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Research shows it’s the most effective counseling method for anxiety. Exposure therapy re-trains your brain to stop feeling threatened by things that trigger fear, anxiety, or panic attacks.

Welcome! I offer services related to psychotherapy, assessment, and consultation. I work with children, adolescents, and adults in a warm and supportive therapeutic relationship. Although I take an eclectic approach to therapy, my primary orientation is cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with a focus on person-centered care. I also specialize in services related to psychological testing and assessment for children, adolescents and adults.

It is normal to be an imperfect being. Everyone has struggles, low moments, or even sometimes have to divert off course due to unexpected life events. But when it's your own thoughts and feelings that are impeding your ability to achieve what you define as "satisfaction" in life- you must take the time to stop, reflect, and possibly change either your approach or alter your perspective. Feel free to book your first session by contacting my team, 1.833.968.8255 or self-scheduling a consultation. https://www.timetrade.com/book/3FLKG
