Elders (65+) Therapists in Washington, DC

I enjoy working with clients who are seeking counseling for the first time and those who are looking for a therapeutic relationship. Many of my clients range in age from adolescence to seniors . Jackson Marriage and Family Counseling offer brief and intensive psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families.

Patients come to me with several different concerns. I see families, adults, seniors and veterans interested in enhancing their lives and building upon what they already use to guide them. I use different modalities to help address those concerns. First, we assess the concerns and develop a plan together. Then we begin our sessions by getting to know each other through a "therapeutic relationship." Followed by methodically working our way through psychoeducation and mixed modalities to address each concern. Periodically, we reelevate your progress and adjust based on your personal needs.

I believe it is possible for people to change. For over 25 years, I have been working with teens, adults and seniors , helping them reassess what they want out of life and how to get it, change their approach to work and relationships, and heal the emotional and spiritual pain of loss, anxiety and depression. My areas of special interest include: Couples Therapy: Resolving Conflict and Deepening Intimacy; Grief and Loss: Healing the Pain of Loss and Adjusting to Living--Washingtonian magazine has named me a Top 10 Grief Therapist; Chronic Illness and Care Giving: Balancing Reality and Hope

I strive to help adults and seniors achieve balance through therapy. I am licensed in Maryland, Delaware, DC and Virginia. Through my experience in working with adults and seniors , I am aware of the unique challenges that they encounter during these stages of life. In my practice, I focus on one's strengths and I help clients to recognize their own distinct set of coping skills to live the good quality of life that they deserve to live. I provide Telehealth via Zoom to allow the client to receive support in the comfort and safety of their own home.

Are you challenged by life's transitions or losses, hurt by trauma or conflict, troubled by feelings of insecurity, anxiety or depression, or struggling in your relationships? Are you ready to identify and overcome the obstacles that stand in your way of moving forward? I will help you develop greater emotional strength and support you in reaching your goals.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative and compassionate. I work with my clients to help them address the inevitable challenges life brings our way and to help them find the path to recovery, renewal and resilience to empower them to meet the next challenge that they meet on the road of life. I strive to understand each client's very personal story and to support them on their unique journey. I have worked extensively with older adults and adult children who are coping with aging issues in the family.

Thanks for looking at my profile. Times of transition, difficulty and pain are challenging but can help us grow. I enjoy working with people who are in transitions and are interested in discovering how their untapped internal strengths can help them. I work with teenagers, adults and seniors in individual therapy. I also work with couples. I see families and have an interest in working with families in which all members are gown up and want to work on family relationships. I have expertise and enjoy working with people in the LGBTQ+ community.

Looking for a safe, affirming, and nonjudgmental space to be seen, heard, and acknowledged for exactly who you are while identifying your unique path to wellbeing? Well, you may have come to the right place! I utilize an eclectic, integrative approach to help clients become the most authentic version of themselves by guiding them to: (1) reveal the parts of themselves that have been hidden away (for whatever reason), (2) embrace the beauty of who they are today and offer opportunities for reframing their past (as appropriate), and (3) empower clients to choose how they want to show up in their lives going forward.

Welcome! I primarily work with clients who are struggling with life transitions or relational concerns. This may include leaving a faith tradition, gaining or losing a partner, exploring sexuality, dealing with old "stuff," working through identity 'stuff,' or getting unstuck. I work with clients from traditional to alternative and everything between, regardless of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, orientation, spirituality or relational preferences. I am committed to a social justice practice of anti-racist and affirming care. I tend to see many clients who have had negative experiences with therapists in the past.

Have you been struggling to feel good, feel good about yourself, your body and your relationships with food and people? Are destructive patterns and behaviors getting in the way? Are you feeling overwhelmed going through a major life transition such as a move, graduating college, loss of a loved one, divorce, new parenting role or any new role? I can support and guide you in navigating these challenges. You don't have to do it alone.

Hello! Based on my experience servicing couples, families and individuals, I am able to create an open space to tell your story, connect the dots and get results in your life where you need it the most.

I am a therapist with experience working with diverse populations. I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the most critical aspects of helping others with their healing process. I take a nonjudgmental approach and ensure your voice is honored, affirmed, and valued.

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

Choosing a therapist is a vulnerable process. How do I know if this person will hear me, see me, understand me? How do I know exactly what I am looking for in a therapist? These are questions many of us ask as we search for a good fit. I lead with curiosity and compassion as I work with clients navigating transitions, grief, loss, relationship issues, caregiving, what it means to grow older in this culture and other challenging life situations.
