Therapists in Washington, DC

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. I am passionate about supporting individuals, couples and people in all types of relationships on their personal and relational journeys, as they explore themselves and their experiences, gain insight into patterns and dynamics, and ultimately, as they connect to what is meaningful in their lives. I approach my clients with genuineness, creativity, and a sense of collaboration, and I believe it is a privilege to sit with people and hold their stories.

We hold the key to all the answers we need on our journeys to self - actualization. In this day and time of fast-paced, quick stimulation and fixes gratification, we miss those opportunities to slow down and really listen to the our "spirit", our "gut instincts", the signs and signals our own body send to us to alert us when we are "out of balance" mentally and emotionally. As a result, we become clouded with doubts, mixed-messages, insecurity, etc. Right now, what is needed are those specific tools and strategies - just for you, in order to life to the fullest! Right Now! Let me help you in your journey to be the best you.

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.

I believe that you have the ability to achieve fulfilling life goals and to make healthy life choices for yourself. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, my job is to be the catalyst to assist you in the decision making and healing process and to support you in achieving those goals.

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of issues, from anxiety, depression and trauma to relationship issues, personal identity, and life transitions or grief. Therapy can help you get unstuck in any of these areas, support you in creating your own life story, and assist you in feeling better and more in control.

Greetings! My name is Melissa and I am a psychotherapist at RevoWell. We are a tribe of extraordinary clinicians dedicated to REVOlutionizing WELLness in the BIPOC community. If you are looking for a non-judgmental, honest, and empathetic therapist to help you work through past trauma, navigate current adversities, or discover and live in your purpose, you've found it - she is me! I specialize in utilizing an eclectic psychotherapy approach to work with individuals (children as well as adults) and couples.

I have been a psychotherapist for over 25 years working with diverse adolescent and adult clients on an individual basis. I assist clients with developing healthier coping skills for addressing the issues of every day life. Furthermore,as an Existentialist, I feel that it is a human right to work toward developing one's potential and to enjoy one's journey on this planet.

In my work with individuals I view the relationship between patient and therapist as central to treatment. The need for trust, privacy, safety, and non-judgmental acceptance is fundamental to the success of treatment. My theoretical orientation is psychodynamic or psychoanalytic, though I rely on an eclectic range of ideas for understanding each person. Patients experience my approach as insight-oriented, dynamic, and interactive. When a person seeks therapy it is because something hurts - a broken relationship, past or present, or deep frustrations with the self - not being able to live up to one's ideals or accomplish goals.

Have you ever found yourself struggling to maintain meaningful relationships? Do you struggle with trusting your own intuition? Or maybe you've found yourself feeling lost in the world and are looking to get reconnected with yourself and others. People need and deserve to be a part of spaces where they can be authentically themselves, free of the fear of judgement, and feel seen, heard, and valued. We are relational beings in nature and you don't deserve to get in your own way.

Our goal at Hyacinth Wellness is to help clients identify obstacles and understand their needs and strengths to achieve personal growth and success within relationships and life goals. We assess current life circumstances, family and medical history, and the larger social context to promote self-awareness and a collaborative plan of growth and change.

I bring to my practice the experience of forty years of professional work with individuals and couples, as well as the wisdom and personal growth that I have gained from dealing with my own life challenges. I am particularly effective with clients as they deal with forming and maintaining intimate relationships, sorting through identity and career conflicts, coping with grief and loss, and managing life transitions. Infertility and adoption issues have long been an area of expertise. All these situations are filled with intense emotionality and anguish yet demand solid, clear thinking.
