Teletherapy for Washington, DC

Life can be challenging! There are times that we all need an unbiased ear that will hear the concerns of your heart without judgment! If that is what you are looking for, you need to schedule an appointment with me. Let’s get it off your chest. Together we can tackle those hurdles and move towards a healthier you! My name is Diane Jenkins. I am a nationally certified (NCC), licensed professional counselor (LPC), who provides professional counseling services for individuals and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, self-harm, low self-esteem, anger, & relationship conflict.

My goal is to facilitate your healing with joy. I come from a trauma-informed, body-centered, and experiential training. So, my ideal clients are often open-minded and interested in mindful movement practices and the arts. I work with individuals seeking transformation, recovering from trauma, interested in embodied healing, working through life transitions, and unpacking family and relationship dynamics. I help individuals heal from traumatic events, panic, insomnia, grief, boundary ruptures, depression, and blocks in creativity. Together, we will be having laughter and tears while discovering new paths that are healing and whole.

I help individuals work on life issues tied to anxiety and depression, relationship difficulties, stress symptoms tied to childhood trauma, and families struggling with behavioral challenges. I teach communication skills that help with difficult relationships. These skills include helping my clients improve their power, voice, and contact with significant others. I employ many approaches in psychotherapy, including psychodynamic, gestalt, somatic experiencing (SE), accelerated experiential dynamic (AEDP), cognitive behavioral (CBT) and emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT).

Embarking on a therapeutic journey requires courage, and I commend you for taking this step in service toward your growth and healing. My approach as a mindfulness-based Intern Therapist is grounded in a holistic philosophy and oriented in Gestalt and Person-Centered therapies. My work lies in the gap between traditional psychotherapy and spiritual transformation. I aim to bridge the conceptual foundations underpinning the divide between psychology and spirituality by synthesizing authentic whole-person contact with contemplative practices, somatic psychotherapies, and scientifically proven mindfulness-based modalities.

Need help navigating change? Looking for a safe space to address your challenges? Overworked and burnt out? I know that change isn't easy. I also know that NOT changing can be just as difficult.

When we are in the middle of finding out about ourselves, solving the problems that we sometimes have no solutions, or mourning what life has brought us, we are growing- Mentally, Emotionally, and Spiritually. Therapy is a place where you can embrace all those things through holding space for wellness and healing. As a clinician who specializes in the healing of Black and Brown people, I ensure that I use therapy modalities and the lived experience to assist in the healing process.

“True mastery of life’s tasks depends upon a disciplined freedom, whose model may be found in the artistic process (Edith Kramer).” As an Art Therapist, I desire to guide your artistic process as you come to your means of liberation, grounding, self-awareness, and inner peace.

You've been able to manage "it" by yourself for a while, but something still doesn't feel right, right? "Something's off". You might have asked yourself is this normal stress or anxiety? Am I just sad or depressed? Why am I so annoyed with things lately? I'm here to listen to you - the right way and help you gain some clarity and regain control. My goal is to help you identify what's needed in order to make things better & get it. I'm here to support your personal growth & awareness in ways that feel most genuine to YOU!

Stop scrolling if you're looking for a therapist who is queer, specializes in trauma and LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, and wants you to talk about your mind-body connection. Ok, now breathe. Sigh. Come as you are. Being queer is a gift to the world. We are sparks of authenticity, joy, and zest! No two of us are alike. And yet, our community shares many themes: identity-based trauma, religious trauma, "missing out" on our childhood, "getting stuck" on pleasing others, limiting ourselves, delaying relationships, balancing other sources of identity, and–even if you've come out–feeling like something is still left unresolved.

My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable to share and know you will be heard during our time together. In tandem, we prioritize your goals and explore the best ways to help you achieve them. I am a general practitioner with a wealth of experience working with clients of all backgrounds who have diverse needs.

Life's journey can be intricate, layered, and unpredictable, often leaving us overwhelmed by anxiety and depression.

With a trauma-informed and integrative approach, including EMDR and cognitive-based therapy, I empower clients to transform their lives. Let's embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery together.
