Therapists in Downtown, Washington, DC

I will work with you to increase insight into your struggles, actively identify and work toward goals, and build resilience against stress. While I enjoy practicing with a wide variety of issues and types of people, I specialize in relationships (straight and gay), young adults, LGBT concerns, couples, anxiety and depression, and life transitions and losses. Building insight involves examining ways one's past impacts the present. I believe that this coupled with making concrete changes in one's life leads to a successful therapy. I am an active psychologist who will help you make these changes thoughtfully and effectively.

My style is compassionate and supportive. I specialize in working with clients to enhance psychological growth, build satisfaction, and build community in their lives. I have over 15 years of experience facilitating change and self-integration. Clients often report feeling more alive, willing to take more risks, and feeling secure in their relationships with others following their therapy journey.

CURRENT openings. You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, held back by worry and doubt. Perhaps you are struggling under the weight of sadness or shame, or due to a loss or trauma that continues to impact you day to day. I offer a skilled, supportive space to guide you through the process of finding your own voice, helping you to create the confident, calm and connected life you wish to live. My style is compassionate, unbiased, and grounding, and I strive to create an environment that fosters growth, self-awareness and lasting change.

Are you feeling anxious and stressed? Do you have panic attacks? Do you feel parts of your life are out of control? If you live or work in the DMV area, you are very familiar with stress and anxiety. Chances are your work-life balance isn't at all balanced. Maybe you are a perfectionist always trying to do more. Maybe you are a people pleaser who struggles to say "No". Meaningful pursuits such as fulfilling relationships, staying healthy and personal interests can be hard to maintain. All these factors can intensify your level of stress and anxiety. There are a number of things we can do together to help you with these issues.

My therapeutic approach is centered on fostering an optimal environment for clients—a space conducive to uncovering fresh perspectives and effective solutions. My practice is characterized by an integration of techniques, including biofeedback, mindfulness, CBT, and EMDR, aimed at delivering a targeted and personalized experience. The foundation of my approach is rooted in Systems Theory, incorporating Family Systems and Person-Centered approaches. I'm bilingual (English and Italian) and my work focuses on life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety and stress management, grief, loss, and trauma.

CURRENT in-person/telehealth openings. Do you feel overwhelmed, worried, or stuck? Are you experiencing relationship challenges or wanting to build your self-confidence? Navigating your way through life’s challenges can be exhausting and lonely. I will provide you with the support and tools you need to gain a better understanding of your concerns, work through life’s challenges and confidently make the changes you need to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. My approach is warm, empathic, and collaborative. I want you to feel comfortable, and aim to create a safe and and non-judgmental space for you to work through your worries.

Do you keep asking yourself "When is this going to get better?" or "Why can't I figure this out?" or "Why does this keep happening?" Your past experiences might be causing you to be fearful or angry or defensive and negative feelings often get us stuck in unhelpful repetitive patterns. When those feelings and patterns are interrupting your productivity at work or are causing communication or connection problems with friends, family members, and romantic partners, counseling can help.

Hello! My Name is Jennifer. I am a therapist with Arelis Perez Psychotherapy Services. We are a multicultural and multi-lingual practice offering therapeutic services to children, teenager, and adults. Our clinicians are trained to utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities to support and empower a diverse population.

It takes courage, strength, and commitment to find and connect with a therapist, which is why I value and respect the time I spend with each and every client. I make sure that treatment is tailored to your needs and that you feel heard. My passion for therapy, in combination with my education and training, keeps me rooted in up-to-date, evidence-based practices, ensuring that I am able to provide the best possible services to our clients. At Barth Therapy, I specialize in providing services for LGBTQ+ persons, with an emphasis on transgender people of color.

Life can sometimes turn difficult and painful, and at these times, reaching out for help can be reassuring and powerful. If you are feeling depressed, distressed, or anxious I can help. Together you and I will sift through the layers, untangle the thicket, and emerge more certain and clear. As we understand you better, we can use that knowledge to carve out a new path for you, one that offers greater ease and contentment.

Life can and often does present us with challenges which create distress and make it difficult for us to feel satisfied. It can be very helpful to speak with a well-trained, experienced, and supportive person when facing such challenges. Whether you are looking for extra support during a stressful period of time or you are interested in focusing on longstanding difficulties, I offer to create a space that promotes symptom relief and results in greater awareness, satisfaction, confidence, and fulfillment.

When we work together, we will meet in a HIPAA compliant TeleHealth video session or in-person with a home or office visit.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS NOW VIA TELEHEALTH ONLY*** Safety and trust are key components to the working alliance between my clients and me. By creating a space of nonjudgement, compassion, empathy and unconditional positive regard, we work together to develop a safe and trusting environment to explore life's struggles and victories.

I help clients who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed or depleted to make sense of their struggles and create an actionable, accessible plan for change. My approach combines tactical skill building with broader insight, helping you to develop more clearly defined personal goals and boundaries, and an increased sense of personal agency and self acceptance. I strive for clients to feel seen, heard and supported as we build towards a greater sense of wellbeing, balance and more satisfying relationships.

My role is to help you examine and work through your feelings in order to remove emotional weight and expand your comfort zone in a supportive and safe environment.

I provide a safe space for those from all backgrounds and identities. For more information about my practice, please visit my website: nancymosstherapy.com

Let's be real- oftentimes, life isn't the easiest. It makes sense that we live in an anxious, depressed, and traumatized society with the amount of alarming information we are exposed to. Because of this, we frequently find ourselves obsessing over the same thing over and over, struggling with motivation, engaging in yet another unsatisfying relationship...the list goes on and on! I understand that finding some peace in this world can feel like a never ending task.

Are you grappling with intense emotions, navigating life transitions, or seeking a space for open conversation and self-discovery? Do you experience anxiety, tension, or overwhelm, or wonder why you feel irritable, tearful, or unable to enjoy your usual activities? In times of stress, people often withdraw or adopt other unhealthy habits, only to find it makes the situation worse. Our therapists can support you in overcoming these challenges. We are an inclusive, multicultural and LGBTQIA+ affirming practice and we welcome all of who you are. We are accepting new clients!

You are seeking therapy because it is time to make a change. Whether it’s the way you connect with others, the way you handle yourself when stress arises, or the way you are grieving life’s losses, something needs to shift before you can move toward the life you want. As an integrative psychologist, I love helping individuals and couples uncover what is most important to them, as well as what is getting in the way, so that they can begin to live with a greater sense of purpose, connection, and well-being. I would love to help you do the same.

Greetings! My name is Victoria Rivera and I am a psychotherapist at Revo Well. We are a tribe of extraordinary clinicians dedicated to REVOlutionizing WELLness in the BIPOC community. As a therapist, providing a safe space and offering sound clinical services to members of the community of color is of the utmost importance to me. I enjoy working with individuals (adults and adolescents alike) who want to be their best selves; individuals who refuse to allow life challenges and symptoms associated with mental illness get the best of them.
