Teletherapy for 20008

Ideal clients are those who are looking for help and feel ready to challenge themselves and are ready for change. Issues of happiness, fulfullment, identity development, sexual orientation, gender, addiction, anxiety, depression and psychosis are some of the typical things clients bring into treatment.

Are you struggling with anxiety, OCD, stress or depression? If so, you've come to to the right place. Our 11 Washington, DC therapists specialize in working with young adults (20s and 30s). We offer in-person sessions as well as online therapy for individual counseling and group therapy. Since we opened our doors in 2012, DC Talk Therapy has helped nearly 2,000 clients make positive and sustained changes in their lives. The period between college and middle age can often feel chaotic and scary, filled with major life decisions and significant changes. Let one of our experienced and compassionate therapists help you navigate it all.

I have 20 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and polycules. My book, Great Sex: Mapping Your Desire, is based on a sexual liberation workshop I've offered on campuses and at LGBTQ+ rights conferences in the US and around the world. My clients are usually in therapy but need specialized work on gender, sexuality, identity, and intimacy. Most of us believe there is something 'wrong' with our sexuality -- what we want/don't want, how we connect or fail to connect, what we know or don't know about our desire. In our work together, we discover the power of our sex his/her/theystories and plot a path to pleasure.

Hello there! I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with symptoms of depression, looking to process past trauma, or just feel disconnected from their path. Together we can explore new ways of coping and understanding so that we can further your advancement towards a more authentic and fulfilling life with more confidence and less stress. I maintain a supportive and non-judgmental atmosphere so we can create positive change at your own pace.

I specialize in working with women in young adulthood and midlife who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, identity-related questions, adjustment difficulties, "family history stuff," existential malaise, the perimenopausal and menopausal transitions, spiritual concerns, and issues related to gender and sexuality. My goal is to help you experience greater self-awareness, freedom, and comfort in your skin. My style is warm and compassionate, while also being direct and (oftentimes) challenging. I bring humor to the therapeutic process and love what I do for a living.

Together you and I will reflect honestly on the challenges you face and work collaboratively to navigate a meaningful path forward. I work with a range of individuals, some of whom are brand new to therapy and others very familiar with the process. Clients who are self-reflective and curious about themselves often are a good fit. While I work with all gender identities, I specialize in working with men who are struggling with life transitions and family or romantic relationships.

I strive to help my clients feel better, enjoy life, develop satisfying relationships, and find personal success. Psychotherapy is often about building or restoring one's inner compass and finding a way to move through life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and satisfying. People are naturally vibrant and healthy. However, our access to that vibrancy often becomes blocked as we adjust to life's challenges. I work to help my clients gain clarity into how and why they have lost access to meaningful parts of themselves and move towards a life that feels more connected and alive.

I specialize in working with teens and adults experiencing life transitions, chronic health conditions, GI disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD. I believe emotions are not meant to be overcome, but are natural signals we can use to deepen our relationships and life experiences. I also believe in the mind-body connection, and that a holistic health approach is central to healing. Lastly, I believe mental health is impacted by larger systems, power dynamics and historical context. As a result, I work with clients to recognize the impact of these broader systems, and advocate for change to support their wellness.

I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults. As a former high school coach and counselor, I provide a unique approach that is both authentic and encouraging in nature. I work best with clients that are open-minded and adaptable as well as introspective and contemplative. Sense of humor plays an essential role in developing the rapport I have with my clients. Once that is established, I make sure to carefully listen to each individual's unique story, assist in planning ahead for challenges, channel strengths, and collaboratively track progress together.

I am licensed to practice in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and Texas. My mission is to provide ethical and professional clinical services to those overcoming trauma and those struggling with identity and relationship issues. My commitment to my patients is to empower, support, and guide them on a journey of healing and growth. I employ an integrative treatment approach in order to effectively meet my client’s needs. I work with clients in person and/or using Zoom.

Are you suffering alone with painful emotions? You resist telling all to your friends and family. You don't want to burden them but you need a safe place to vent your anger, your fears, your frustration, your pain, and sometimes despair. I can help. Together we will gain insight and understanding that lead to positive change.

I help struggling couples build resilient, loving, committed relationships; and I help individuals who are stuck, sad, or anxious learn ways to move forward, break free of depression, and overcome anxiety.

I believe everyone has the ability to learn new ways to cope and view their personal situation differently. Therapy is a place where you can access your most authentic self and allow the therapeutic process to guide healing. Through creating a safe, comfortable and trusting environment clients will be able to share honestly and receive genuine feedback. My approach is supportive and client centered. You are the expert of your past and together we will explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors to establish improved ways of being and building relationships with others to help shape your future.

Expressions Therapy offers a wide array of therapeutic modalities for individuals, groups, and couples. Our approach is eclectic and flexible, founded in empathy and curiosity, where your unique needs and goals are centered. We are a practice that understands that support is vital even outside of prescribed session times, and while healthy boundaries are established and respected, so is an atmosphere of support and radical acceptance. Anxiety and trauma can live in our bodies. Together, we will create a relationship that fosters dynamic and lasting growth, tapping into undiscovered reserves of resiliency you didn't know you had.

If you are feeling stuck but want to move forward in life, or are in emotional pain, or seeking to work on mental health issues, I am happy to speak with you about individual psychotherapy or couple's therapy. I work with adults of all ages and backgrounds on problems in their relationships, workplace, family life, and at times of difficult life transitions. I offer a safe environment to talk comfortably and work collaboratively to improve a client’s well-being. I specialize in helping lawyers and medical professionals under stress. And having had a past involvement in politics, I enjoy working with elected/government officials.
