Therapists in District of Columbia

Congratulations! You just took the first step. Welcome to Sol Counseling & Consulting!

You may feel like you’re the only one experiencing sexual challenges in your relationship, but difficulties like low desire, painful sex, or premature ejaculation are more common than you think. If you’ve been afraid to talk about your sexual challenges, you probably feel alone, overwhelmed, and unsure about what to do. If you’re in a relationship, you and your partner may have stopped talking about sex, deepening the disconnection and feelings of loneliness and shame. Fortunately, there is a way out of this negative cycle, and you can create the sex life and relationship you desire.

As a 1st Generation Haitian-American Holistic Therapist, I have over 15 years of experience guiding individuals toward holistic healing. Through my unique FLOW Method and holistic practices, including breathwork, movement, and sound healing, I've empowered countless women to navigate through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My mission is to help you embrace your inherent power and manifest the life and relationships you truly desire, without enduring unnecessary struggle or sacrifice.

Have you ever felt stuck or alone? You've maybe felt lost about what direction your life is heading in. Or maybe you've experienced guilt for not being able to connect with your baby or child. You wish you could get a better grasp of the direction your life is heading in and feel like you can show up as a better mother, friend, daughter, worker, etc. I'm here to tell you that you can and it will be okay!

Is your child or teen acting out? Do you feel like an emotional mess? Are you coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, fatigue, or defeat that just won't seem to go away? Are your emotional issues so serious that you believe that you don’t know which direction to go? Are you grieving a loss? Are you feeling burned out at work, searching for clarity, or trying to find meaning in life? We will work together and empower you to help yourself! We have over 14 years of experience in individual counseling and consultation. We have a diverse group of professionals to assist you in seeking clarity and improving your peace.

Therapy can benefit you wherever you are in life, whether it's in the midst of a crisis, if you're feeling distant from a partner or your parents, or if you simply want to know yourself better. Providing therapy is a sacred calling for me, and I am honored to empower either individuals, couples, families, or groups to reach goals or explore the unknown. I use a systemic approach to help clients in the context of environments and identities. Together, we can grow and become the authors of our own stories. By accepting who we are and our imperfections, we increase our ability to love ourselves and connect more deeply with others.

2020 has been a tough year as we face this challenging time in our history. We’ve had to grapple with the longevity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the uncertainty it brings. Challenges, which are further confounded by a complicated and divisive political climate make this a time of grief, trauma, loss, and difficult transitions for many. Physical distancing measures, forced adoption of new technology, and disruption of our routines, though necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, bring additional struggles with preventing isolation, remaining engaged with social supports, and coping with stress and anxiety. Please talk with a provider if you are finding yourself overwhelmed or if you are experiencing changes in sleeping, eating, or irritability, whether or not your challenges can be explained by current situations We have immediate openings for therapy and medication management appointments.

Everyone deserves support through life's most difficult times. For some, it may have been an event that occurred years ago, and for others it is more recent. Seeking professional help and support is often times the first step to coping with a difficult life period and is a huge sign of courage and investment in oneself. I believe that healing and empowerment are wholly achievable and begin with a trusting and accepting therapist-client relationship in a supportive therapeutic environment.

Congratulations on taking the first step in this journey of discovery. It takes courage to look within oneself and explore the items that we carry from our daily lives. I believe that it is essential for us to stop and take care of ourselves actively and intentionally. I provide individual and group psychotherapy for adults. I also offer consultation services to providers who wish to understand the "why" behind the theory.

You find yourself tired, irritable and not really interested in the things that once brought you joy. Or, you are anxious all of the time, waiting for the next shoe to drop. Maybe, you are having problems communicating with your family. You do not feel like persons hear you or do not understand you. If any of these scenarios sound like you or you can relate then it’s time to talk with someone. It’s a new year and it’s time you finally start working on yourself. It’s time to find some peace, address your goals for real and get to work with a therapist who will help you from day one.

Sometimes life stressors can leave you feeling directionless, confused, or overwhelmed. Overcoming these hurdles can be tough, but you don't have to travel this journey alone. GPS provides a unique approach to helping you map your journey to improved mental wellness. Fostering a genuine, supportive, empathic, and affirming relationship with my clients has helped them overcome many challenges.

Affirmative Spaces specializes in providing psychotherapy to LGBTQ+ people of color and other marginalized groups. In treatment I utilize a culturally informed approach and strive to create a space where you are free to be your unapologetic authentic self, and ensure your experiences are honored, affirmed, and handled with care. Additionally, I utilize a theoretical approach that explores the influence of early relationships on current functioning. In each therapy relationship I collaborate with clients to gain insight to your unique experiences and how these experiences contribute to current distress experienced.

Deciding to see a therapist is a major step towards wellness, healing and investing in yourself. Everyone faces challenges and reaching out for support is the beginning of a collaborative partnership that aims to address challenges and strengthen you to build and master skills that empower you to grow and work on your journey towards healing. Are you finding emotions, stress, work and relationships making it difficult to enjoy or live in the moment? Let's work together to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
