Teletherapy for District of Columbia

From a base of acceptance of your whole self, I work together with you to identify your potential and strengths, knowing how capable you already are. I come alongside you to reach your goals, and to live a whole and fulfilling life with deep, meaningful relationships. I approach therapy as a collaborative effort between you and me to create goals, gain new skills, and overcome challenges. I work to empower you with compassionate listening, psychoeducation and tools, and empowerment (listening to your voice and planning how to confidently express it) - I have complete confidence in you to direct your life and reach a place of joy!

Have you ever experienced a moment when you felt truly inspired by life? Through life coaching, I help people to create lives that allow them to stay connected to that feeling of awe and miraculousness every day! Do you desire a more meaningful career? Do you want more fulfilling relationships? Do you want to better understand yourself or feel more confident? If YES to any of these questions, life coaching with me can help.

Hi! I'm Sara, founder of Greenhouse Psychotherapy- a boutique mental health practice serving adults & adolescents of all genders. Greenhouse is a group practice striving to provide the highest quality mental health services. We believe mental health is a basic human right, and we are committed to providing the compassion, respect, and acceptance our clients deserve. Clients often seek therapy with us when they're ready to get "unstuck", and are craving momentum toward their goals. Our tailored mental health services make us a great choice whether you're looking for help with one specific issue or in need of comprehensive care.

Grief is a natural response to a bereavement or a loss of any kind, but the distress you understandably feel today need not be incapacitating or unnecessarily prolonged. My approach will help you come to terms with your new reality, while retaining a healthy and positive psychological relationship with the loved ones you have cherished, but who are now no longer physically present. We will work together to establish new strategies for living a fulfilling and joyful life - a life that can be continually enriched by the happy memories of times gone by. A life of gratitude, rather than regret.

Frog Point Therapy are DC's relationship experts. Relationships are one of the most important aspects of being human: relationship to self, others, and the world. Our therapists specialize in curating a highly individualized treatment experience. We integrate classic western psychotherapeutic approaches, eastern wisdom traditions, and modern research on human development to help clients create stronger bonds with ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world around us and believe that healthy relationships on all three levels are essential to well-being and happiness.

Currently accepting new clients! Entering a new phase of your career? Feeling stuck at work or at home? About to make a big change in your life? Feeling overwhelmed in our current political environment (e.g. experiencing "election stress disorder")? Our personal lives and careers are full of inflection points, where choices we make and events that occur to us can change the course of our life in impactful ways. Inflection points are often stressful, but also provide opportunities to examine our identities, our relationships, and how we want to live our lives. You don’t have to navigate these moments without support.

I see patients suffering from anxiety, depression, self-destructive patterns, relationship issues, sexual difficulties, identity, adjustment problems in psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and couple's counseling. My aim is to relieve mental distress and interpersonal conflict by deepening self-understanding and self-control. After 36 years in practice, my clinical experience is broad and deep. My reputation and publications on relational, religious and ethical topics sometimes attracts patients with these difficulties. A graduate of Harvard University (MBA,PhD) and Washington Psychoanalytic Institute, I practice in Washington, DC.

Do you ever feel stuck? Misunderstood? Have moments when you feel out of control, sad or hard to breathe? I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland and Washington, D.C., specializing in anxiety, depression, life transitions, career fatigue, substance use disorders, and living with chronic health conditions and life-threatening illnesses. I thoroughly believe in the power of self-care and teaching strategies to manage life stressors and the impact on clients’ well-being and relationships.

Are you dealing with stress, relationship issues, mood disorders, career/professional concerns, or life transitions? Are you feeling overwhelmed and imbalanced? When this happens, everything else suffers from your personal to your professional life, including how you feel. You may find it challenging to find the right therapist who can help you heal. Just know that you are not alone. It can be difficult to seek therapy, especially if you tried it before and felt like it didn't work. “One size does not fit all.” Our approaches are tailored to the needs of each individual to help you find long lasting solutions. We can help.

Are you new to the area and feel overwhelmed starting a new life? Are you ready to find love in your life, or breaking up/divorcing, or are you and you partner ready to repair and grow your relationship? Are you looking to find a new job, move up the ladder, or change professions completely? Did you just graduate from College or Grad school and feel lost as to what career aligns with your interests and values? Or maybe you're struggling with the death of a loved one and are wondering how to fill the void. Perhaps you've decided to investigate your spirituality or change your religious affiliation.

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 tailor my services to each client and their unique needs, always from the humanistic approach. That means that I see my clients first and foremost as human beings, having what we would consider a human experience. Clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, job issues, or really any other type of discomfort will benefit from my integration of mindfulness and meditative practices into their treatment, alongside the use of building the psychological tools that empower them to create measurable changes to their circumstances.

Overcoming mental and emotional challenges can be difficult, but even more when you feel like you are dealing with them alone. It's not always easy finding someone who's willing to listen and understands from a culturally responsive lens, especially when discussing personal challenges that have been discouraged outside of the home. Stress can come from many different avenues of life (career, family, relationships, society, and culture, etc) and can bring about depressions, anxiety, anger, isolation, and low-self esteem. It's not easy learning healthy ways to cope, managing your symptoms, and even recognizing that there's a problem.

Ready to heal from past trauma? Work and financial stress impacting your well-being & ready for change? Seeking deeper attachment in your relationships? I work with heterosexual & LGBTQ+ individuals and couples exploring ways to live that fully meet your needs. I help clients address & alleviate stressors as they explore & resolve past emotional wounds & traumas. I offer couples support to strengthen their relationships & resolve issues preventing emotional & sexual intimacy. I’m licensed in DC/MD/VA, practicing under the clinical supervision of Lisa Smith, LPC. My background incl. Wall Street, the legal industry & journalism.

You feel stressed, worried and at times angry as if there is a weight on your shoulders. This weight is affecting your family, friends and even your job. What you’re doing isn’t working anymore. Still you don’t think you should tell some stranger your problems, especially if they won’t get where you’re coming from or how you feel. But you want to make a change. If you are looking for a place to feel heard, someone who won’t judge you or just the relief of finally being able to share how you feel with someone who won’t look at you differently then I encourage you to take that chance. I welcome you, What’s on your mind?

We can work together to achieve your goals! Find your career path, develop your skills. Find yourself! Make a difference in your thoughts and behaviours. Get better relationships at home and work.

I help people who feel anxious, depressed or overwhelmed feel better about their current circumstances. Whether you are dealing with a stressful job, major life transitions or loneliness, I believe we can work together to address the situation. I also specialize in coaching and therapy for therapists and other health care providers. My hope is that I can help you develop the skills necessary to cope with your particular situation and improve your mood. If you feel like this describes you, please contact me.

Thanks for visiting! We will be the right fit if you’re striving toward a better version of yourself. You might notice it's easier to think than feel–maybe even overthink–about how to live, be, and relate to others well. You want more honesty throughout your relationships (and with yourself), even when it's uncomfortable. You thrive with exploring, challenging questions, and occasional redirection toward larger goals. We will be reflecting on relationships, families of origin, career, and general stress of life that leads to feelings of discomfort.
