Therapists in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC

We all have stories we have been carrying with us based on our lived experience. I aim to help my clients dig deeper into these personal narratives, to understand how our past may be affecting our present and keeping us from the future we want. I have specialized training and experience in working with trauma and providing treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, military adjustment, occupational stress, and other major life changes. Racial trauma and issues related to cultural identity, such as those specific to 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, are some of the particular topics I would help us explore.

I specialize in difficulties for second-generation immigrants, anxiety, PTSD/trauma, depression, pre and post-partum challenges, family conflict, identity challenges, grief/loss, insomnia, sleep issues, chronic pain, health changes, problems with focus or ADHD, substance abuse, military adjustment, and general adjustment difficulties.

Seen. Heard. Treasured. Our specialty is helping survivors of complex trauma whether it is sexual, military, domestic violence, or bullying. Because we know that trauma lodges itself somewhere in the body, R1:99 offers sensorimotor and expressive therapies such as art, music, drama, and movement in addition to psychotherapy.

I have been working in the mental health field for over fifteen years with a variety of clients including children and adolescents, families, and adults. I enjoy utilizing an eclectic approach to treatment, recognizing the uniqueness that each individual brings to treatment. I specialize in the treatment of exposure to trauma, providing treatment to survivors of sexual violence, childhood abuse, domestic violence, and military combat trauma. When addressing the needs of those who have survived trauma, I focus a great deal of attention on the neurological effects of exposure, as well as the mind and body connection.

Are you in search of support? Are you struggling with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, personal growth, life transitions, relationship conflict, multicultural issues, religion, spirituality, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or bipolar/mood disorders?

As a therapist, I aim to create an environment that feels both welcoming and safe to anyone who enters. I most often work with individuals struggling from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity, and life transitions and strive to help individuals identify their strengths, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based approaches, to support the therapeutic process. I believe in the importance of meeting someone where they are and I aim to empower clients by teaching skills that help them to manage obstacles that interfere with quality of life and wellbeing.

As a performance and counseling psychologist, my passion is to help people reach their potential and make long-lasting change. I collaborate with my clients to work through life challenges and painful experiences in a way that allows them to let go of suffering and take control of their well-being. Worries about the future, your preformance, one's relationships, and busy work life can interfere with becoming the fullest version of oneself. In working with me, my clients can improve their capacity to experience the joys and healing that life has to offer while not feeling controlled by anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Visit my website: drbonafina.com Navigating life's obstacles can be overwhelming. People start therapy for different reasons. Sometimes people come in to see me during a period of transition -starting or ending school or work; moving to a new city; beginning or leaving a relationship-. At times, people feel stuck, frustrated, uncertain, or slightly out of step. Maybe you may find yourself hitting the same walls in friendships or relationships repeatedly. Perhaps you feel lost or you long for “something more” but have no clue what’s missing. I will work with you to help you find what you really want and deserve for your life.

Therapy is a means to shed old narratives, and explore new ways of thinking & being in the world. Individuals & couples working with me are typically interested in healing from trauma, seeking symptom relief/coping skills, engaging in self-discovery, and cultivating satisfying sexual relationships. Most of my work focuses on treating sexual & religious trauma & working with LGBTQ+ populations on their journeys of identity discovery (yes, I work with cis/straight folks, too). Helping clients foster a deep sense of inner knowing is my passion. Currently offering therapy for clients in DC, VA, MD & TX.

The past few years have been a slog for even the most resilient of us, and seeking outside support can be a powerful way to care for yourself. I work with clients to address a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, challenging relationships, life transitions, and job stress. I offer support for those struggling during the perinatal period as well as in parenting in an increasingly anxious world.

If you feel like you are depressed, anxious, or stuck and don't know what direction to take your life or relationship, please consider psychotherapy. I have over 30 years of experience working with adults who have problems with depression, anxiety, trauma, mood swings, and relationship problems.
