Multicultural Therapists in Washington, DC

I provide individual psychotherapy to adults in English and Spanish. I believe that seeing a therapist is a very important and personal decision, that helps during times of stress and emotional pain, but also when you want to grow and mature. I have experience in issues including: depression & anxiety, self-esteem issues, difficulties in relationships, traumatic events, stress in the face of chronic or terminal illness, adjustments to life events and phases of life problems, aging process, grief/loss.

There are circumstances in life that can lead people to feel anxious, depressed, stuck, or otherwise emotionally troubled. You may find yourself in patterns of unhealthy behaviors, thoughts or relationships that you can't seem to change.

Email communication is preferred! Aleesha’s goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment for all of her clients to be their genuine selves. She also hopes to help clients gain tools needed to process and express different emotions wholeheartedly. She believes that with a strong therapeutic relationship, anything is possible!

Hi, my name is Merav Auzenne. I have been a Professional Counselor and Family Marriage Therapist since 2011. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in working with individuals who are going through a career adjustment, life transition, or are experiencing postpartum, depression, divorce, PTSD, identity issues, low self-esteem, and anxiety. I have experience working with mixed-race, multicultural, and orthodox couples on various issues like communication skills, conflict resolution, and emotional connection.

I currently work with adolescents and adults of all ages in individual therapy and specialize in working with clients with marginalized identities (e.g., racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities). My ideal client is willing to bring as much of themselves into the room (e.g., social/cultural identities, personal experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors) to foster more self-awareness and growth and make meaningful life changes.

Imagine this: You, at the center of a journey towards a more fulfilling life. You might be at a crossroads, navigating life's unpredictable transitions, or yearning to break free from a path that feels confining. What you're looking for is someone who truly gets it, who can be your anchor in the storm, and your guide to uncharted territories. I understand that your needs are unique, and your aspirations are deeply personal. You're seeking support, empathy, and practical tools to help you thrive. Your ultimate goal might be to find acceptance within yourself and make choices that resonate with your authentic self.

I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, perfectionism, sport- or performance-related concerns, and burnout. I often see clients who don't feel "good enough," have family-of-origin or multicultural concerns, experience relationship challenges, or are going through life transitions. As a former college soccer player, I also have a particular interest in working with current and former athletes, who may need help with things like anxiety, mood concerns, managing transitions (ex. from high school to college sports, life after sports), athletic burnout, team dynamics, effects of injury, and balancing multiple demands.

Originally from Chile, I am a bilingual culturally-conscious and trauma-informed therapist helping individuals heal from intergenerational trauma, migratory and cultural issues, family dysfunction, sex and relational issues, and mood disorders. Whether this is your first time or not, if you’re here you’re taking an active step to dedicate time and invest in you and your wellbeing. That is AWESOME. I value the co-creation of a strong relationship that allows reconnection with your emotional self, all the intersections of your existence, and the life experiences that informed your view of self and the world.

Are you experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness, issues with intimacy, and sexual desire? I am a sex-positive, non-monogamous, BDSM/KINK, LGBTQIA+ affirming relationship therapist. Let's work together! Perhaps you lack self-compassion, you are self-conscious, or maybe you're unsure about the future of your relationship. An important aspect of therapy is examining our inner world, relationships, thoughts and feelings in a safe non-judgmental space. Using an integrative approach, I aim to create a positive therapeutic relationship that promotes healing with compassionate self-exploration. Contact me today!

Hello! Congratulations on taking this step in your mental wellness journey. When navigating through transitions, relationships, intersectionality, and other challenging aspects of life, you may find that you encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. These moments in which you are faced with change involve intention and care. Therapy allows you to enter a safe, warm, and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today with the hope that in time, you can begin to gain awareness and fulfillment, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.

Despite your best efforts to convince yourself that you have it all together, you’re struggling with relationships, you're tired, and you're left wondering, "is it me?" Feeling unsure of how to navigate it all, you’ve pushed down the pain and traumatic memories. Sometimes, you do feel fine; but the feeling is fleeting. Truthfully, the things you've been doing to cope just aren't helping as much as you'd hoped. We both know that simply "focusing on yourself" overlooks the complexity of navigating through unwritten relationship rules, cultural expectations, and your values. Together, let's find new ways to navigate the challenges.

Make peace with your thoughts and emotions, silence your inner critic and experience authentic emotions. Increase peace and understanding in your relationships, learn to communicate in ways that facilitate connection and lessen conflict. Find clarity in your purpose and uncover what has been holding you back, keeping you feeling stuck. Identify triggers to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, and imposter syndrome. End feelings of unworthiness and shame. Maximize your potential, and express yourself authentically. My name is Shalin Carter, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, these are the things I want to help you with.
