Therapists for Toddlers in Washington, DC
You're a high-achieving professional in DC, Maryland, or Virginia, winning at work but losing your connection at home. You and your partner feel more like "roommates" than a power couple. Career stress, parenting demands, or postpartum anxiety have created distance. You're frustrated, isolated, and exhausted.
Maybe you're a new parent trying to hold it all together. Or the emotional gap between you and your partner keeps growing.
You don't need open-ended therapy. You need a solution-focused approach that respects your time, your intelligence, and gets results.

I have been in practice for over 20 years, working with adults, children and adolescents in psychodynamic therapy and psychoanalysis. The frequency and duration of each treatment depends on the unique needs of every person; for example, a college student may be seeking short-term therapy to deal with the transition from home to school or an adult may be seeking longer term treatment to understand a pattern of failed relationships. Children are often referred by family members or school counselors, who provide valuable background information to help determine the best treatment. Ongoing collaboration with parents and professionals is essential.
