"I view therapy as a process that can facilitate healing and change, as well as understanding and fulfillment. Whether stuck in a conflicted relationship, feeling lost, struggling with depression or anxiety, adjusting to a transition or life change, feeling unable to break unhealthy patterns or resolve past issues and pain, it can be difficult to know where to start. Together, we can explore the issues you face and identify the direction you want your life to take and the steps needed to get you there. Once established, our relationship can provide the foundation and safety for this process."

"Inspired by the passion of the clinical field, I became Professional Counselor to help people improving their quality of living. It means that it does no matter what the initial phase of the persons existing living arrangements, the quality of life can be improved through professional counseling. My diverse and intense professional working experience added to the qualified academic, and certified credentials gained; makes me a valuable, suitable and responsible therapist with a strong understanding of human behavior in extreme situations that provides private and confidential therapy, safe environment of treatment, and ethical standards of practice for all clients."

"Are you feeling frustrated, stuck, or unhappy in your work life or relationships? Is there a deep loneliness with no one to talk to or really understand? Psychotherapy can help and heal. With over 20 years experience, I work by creating a safe, nurturing and understanding therapeutic relationship. My approach is to actively listen and work collaboratively on gaining a deeper understanding of the feelings, internal struggles, obstacles, the impact of earlier life experiences, as well as repeating patterns of behavior that may be underlying symptoms and the root cause of difficulties."

"I am a clinical psychologist practicing for over 15 years. I have a lot of experience treating men and women facing a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, low self esteem, relationship issues, work stresses, and life transitions. I have training in various treatment modalities including psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT and tailor my treatment to your needs. In general, I try to understand the origins of the problem and teach practical techniques for making improvements. I have a warm, interactive and collaborative style and will work with you to make positive changes in your life."

"Hi! I'm a psychologist who has lived in the Washington DC area for the past twenty years. I know that life in this region can be stressful, with traffic, high-pressure jobs, and interpersonal demands. I am able to help people find ways to cope with these pressures and life's many challenges, including self-esteem issues, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and life transitions. I work with children, teens, and adults. I provide guidance and consultation to parents on questions related to child development, behavior challenges, and family conflict."

"There are times when things are not going as well as we'd like in our relationships, family or work. You may feel alone, depressed, anxious, or have conflict or discomfort with those you care about. In my psychotherapy practice I help couples and individuals restore their sense of well being and connection. People learn how to be more present and intentional about their interactions and decisions, in line with what is most important to them. Partners learn to be safely available to each other through a dialogue process that teaches more effective listening, deeper understanding and empathy."

"I am a clinically trained psychotherapist who works with trauma, depression, anxiety, grief & loss, life transitions and relationship issues. I believe in a collaborative, safe and thoughtful process that will support you in making healthy and lasting changes. Talking through challenges, and addressing and understanding long held ways of behavior, can help you make the changes you want to make. I am committed to helping you feel safe, engaged and included in the healing process."

"*Providing Complicated Grief Therapy* I provide counseling to individuals and couples who are coping with grief and loss, depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, relationship concerns, breakup recovery, self-esteem, family estrangement, family of origin concerns, chronic illness, and stress. In particular, I specialize in treating diverse issues in grief and bereavement, including Complicated Grief (also termed Prolonged Grief Disorder), anticipatory grief, and non-death loss. My specialized training and nine years of research experience in grief and loss equip me to help individuals navigate these challenging experiences."

"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."

"Having worked and trained as a clinical psychologist within the Washington Metropolitan area, I am attuned to many of the challenges individuals within the DC area face. Whether you are seeking individual or couples therapy, I listen carefully to what you have to say and seek to establish a curious and collaborative environment in which to address your individual needs."

"I strive to bring a sense of acceptance, compassion, insight,sometimes humor as well as challenge to the therapeutic relationship. I see the aim of therapy to explore and address those issues that block you from reaching your goals and experiencing a more satisfying and productive life. Whether you are facing challenges in your career, relationships, or in your emotional well-being, we can address specific situations that you are facing today, as well as long-standing patterns or history of painful experiences. I offer a free phone consultation to help you find the right therapist."

"I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals. My specialties include grief counseling, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and couples conflict. I have over 30 years of experience working with young adults in university settings and with individuals and couples in private practice. I have been the head clinician in an eating disorder and mood disorder clinic at a major university. I am particularly interested in working with clients who are struggling with low self worth and self loathing. I also have an expertise in working with gay couples."

"I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship that can lead to finding new and positive ways of relating to people and situations in your life. In therapy, we look at the distinctive ways in which you relate to me and others, whether or not you are aware of them, and then we analyze them so you can consciously begin to do something different. I want to make psychotherapy affordable, so I accept clients on a sliding scale basis, from $75 to $120. I would be happy to hear from you."

"Choosing to enter therapy can be a difficult decision and finding and connecting with the right therapist plays a significant role in the healing process. I believe this healing is achieved through an authentic and collaborative therapist-client relationship and by providing a supportive and nonjudgmental environment in which clients feel safe to explore difficult issues. There are myriad reasons people enter therapy: for problems that have a direct correlation to a cause or for problems that are imprecise, but impact their quality of life."

"In my practice I treat adolescents, college students, and adults dealing with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, as well as relationship and identity issues. Therapy can also be helpful as one navigates times of transition, change, or if one is 'stuck' or unable to achieve desired goals. Together, we will determine what is getting in the way of progress and then help you work through those things to become the best possible version of yourself."

"The people I've worked with over the years have come with various problems: difficulty growing up, grieving the loss of an important person, inability to find a direction in life, regret over past relationships and despair about finding someone to love, overpowering anxiety seemingly connected to nothing specific, questions around sexuality. Whatever the problem, my method is usually pretty much the same. I try to make a real contact and to understand what is going on, considering a person's whole life story. After that, we work together to overcome the stumbling blocks to personal development and happiness."

"I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) currently practicing in Washington D.C. I provide a variety of clinical services that will meet your needs. I am dedicated to helping you work through any conflicts and challenges you may be experiencing in your personal and professional life."

"It takes courage to seek help from a therapist; I understand and respect this. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative process. The therapy relationship allows us to work together as you share with me your concerns and stress and I help you to understand and have greater awareness of problematic behaviors that may contribute. I see myself as a guide, pointing out patterns of relating to others and sharing insights that will give you an opportunity for self-reflection and to adjust how you might approach and cope in the future."

"We all experience challenging times when we don’t feel like ourselves. We may feel stuck, lost, or experience the same unsatisfying relationships. Engaging in therapy, with the right therapist, can help. Within a supportive and collaborative relationship, I actively work with my clients to better understand themselves and their relationships; to acquire healthy coping strategies; and to achieve an enhanced sense of well-being. I am flexible, tailoring the therapy according to the needs of each client. I bring an integrative approach to psychotherapy that includes insight-oriented work, practical interventions, and cognitive/behavioral techniques, all within a nurturing relationship."
