Polyamory and ENM Therapists in Washington, DC
My ideal client is an individual looking to reclaim their voice in a world that often overlooks or misunderstands them. They’re navigating burnout, self-doubt, and the pressure to shrink or overperform. They want space to be seen, affirmed, and supported as their full selves. Their goal is to live with authenticity, set boundaries, and build a life rooted in joy, purpose, and self-trust—on their own terms. I specialize in helping women, LGBTQ+, and the BIPOC community. I am deeply committed to supporting the immigrant community and advocating for immigrants' rights. I strive to provide culturally sensitive care.

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.

Over the past couple of years, I've so enjoyed working with polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous couples and systems.
Hi There! Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. Many of my clients have reached a place where they are no longer comfortable with the status quo. Perhaps you're looking to improve your self worth; process the ongoing impacts of childhood trauma; or maybe you're transitioning to a new relationship structure. Many of my clients seek out therapy to get to know themselves and their partners better, and find improved ways to navigate their relationships. My hope is that sessions leave you with curiosities about yourself and others, and a feeling of empowerment and possibility.

Clients come to me when they feel stuck and need a nuanced, experienced approach to an issue in their lives. Most of my clients have post traumatic stress that stems from childhood experiences or neglect. Most of my clients also disclose that they struggle with one or many relationships in their lives. Many of my clients are immigrants, and seek a therapist who is sensitive to how cultural factors and (im)migration impact their ability to successfully connect with others.

Hi I’m Stacy!
I am a millennial therapist serving millennials in the DC and VA areas. I specialize in serving those who are going through life transitions dealing with ALL of the things that we are dealing with.

I work alongside my clients to create collaborative, warm, comfortable bonds as they navigate life challenges. My understanding of client's context and concerns is informed by my perspective and experiences as a former arts writer and academic, as well as my training in counseling. This multi-disciplinary approach to hearing client's stories enables me to engage the complexity of my clients' lives while focusing on them as full people. Working with people whose struggles with substances, stresses, and relationships compel them to seek external insight and support is an honor and joy.

I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am passionate about helping clients navigate through anxiety, depression, life shifts, relationships, dating, sexuality, gender, and trauma.

Together, we will explore the stories that have shaped your life, allowing you to better understand yourself and the patterns that may be holding you back.

I work with adults and couples facing grief, trauma, anxiety, life transitions, or relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—from yourself or your partner—I offer a warm, supportive space to explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Drawing on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based approaches, I help clients heal deeply, strengthen relationships, and create lasting emotional change.

As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.

If you're searching for a psychotherapist who can hold the complexity of who you are; your history, your culture, your sexuality, your faith, your grief, and your desire to grow into someone more fully yourself, you've clicked on the right profile. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and doctoral student in Counselor Education and Supervision, with a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Master of Arts in Religion. My work exists at the intersection of lived experience, rigorous clinical training, and a lifelong study of anthropology, theology, philosophy, and the human search for meaning.

As a clinician, I am focused on helping clients find a life of meaning and value. Often times in our pain there is incredibly useful information about what is important to us. As humans, we have evolved to move away from physical pain, to escape it: and for most types of pain, those methods work! But for emotional pain, avoidance not only doesn’t get rid of our pain and suffering, it often amplifies it. In discovering how each individual client finds meaning in their lives, we ground ourselves in the willingness to walk toward our pain, rather than away from it. It is in this space that we find healing and meaningful change.

Located in Union Market, Washington, DC, I specialize in gender and queer topics. The clients I enjoy working with the most are artists, activists, leftists, change-makers, and norm-breakers. They are transgender, queer, bisexual, non-monogamous, formerly religious, and often have untraditional family structures, including chosen family and deconstructed gender roles. I know that therapeutic work does not happen in a vacuum, and it is imperative that we acknowledge our political, structural, and personal contexts. Our sessions can be a place of immense joy, immeasurable rage, and revolutionary change.

If you're looking to feel more grounded, stable, and at peace in your personal and professional life, I can help. I work with individuals struggling with overwhelming worry, feelings of inadequacy, fear that things can’t change, or the sense that life is happening to them rather than with them. I also support clients navigating complex family or romantic relationships, the integration of sexual orientation and/or gender identity with other areas of life, and processing grief from loss, death, or relationship endings.

Therapy with me is warm and genuine. I like to help LGBTQ+ individuals and couples who feel held back from how you want to be. We get so many messages that we should be other than what we are, whether it's fitting into norms that don't feel right, staying busy when we need more downtime, doubting ourselves, or comparing ourselves to others. Come spend time with me exploring what feels right for you so you can lead a more confident, joyful, and authentic life. Trauma, invalidation, stress, and depression can wear you down. I'd love to play a part in your getting some relief.

Trauma leaves a mark — on how you see yourself, how you move through the world, and how you connect with others. Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ+ community carrying the weight of experiences that were never your fault, or someone driven to success by solving problems for others rather than asking for help for yourself, you deserve care that recognizes the full complexity of who you are. My work is grounded in evidence-based therapies that are structured, focused, and proven to produce real results.
