Hi, I’m Jessi Gholami, a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland, Michigan, and Washington, DC. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults as they navigate challenges such as ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and major life transitions. I like to keep therapy structured enough to give you direction, but flexible enough to meet you where you are. I pull from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, organizational skill-building, and Internal Family Systems—but I won’t just hand you a textbook strategy. I want us to figure out what actually works for you. Our sessions aren’t just about talking; they’re about finding tools you can use in real life so you feel more confident outside of our time together. Being a parent can be both rewarding and overwhelming. As a certified PCIT therapist, I provide live-coaching positive parenting strategies to caregivers in order to boost their child’s self-esteem, attention span, parent-child attachment, prosocial behaviors, and listening and compliance. This treatment also decreases negative attention-seeking behaviors, tantrums, & aggression. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: every person has inherent worth and dignity. Life doesn’t come with a manual, families are messy, and everyone has struggles. I don’t believe therapy should come with judgment, rigid rules, or strings attached. Instead, I aim to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and equipped to grow. Patterns from the past often show up in our present—whether in relationships, families, or work. I believe healing is possible when we recognize our inner strengths, challenge unhelpful patterns, and practice skills. Outside of my work, I love hiking, swimming, baking, and walking my dog, Teddy.

Hello, I'm Kristin C. Jennings, LICSW. I believe lasting change begins with understanding the connection between our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, creating a space where you can feel safe, heard, and supported while working toward meaningful change. I specialize in helping adults navigate emotional eating, overeating, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and challenges with self-worth. Together, we'll explore the underlying emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building practical tools to help you develop healthier coping strategies and a more balanced relationship with yourself and food. I believe healing goes beyond willpower, it begins with self-awareness, self-compassion, and sustainable habits. My therapeutic style integrates evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith into the therapeutic process. In addition to therapy, I incorporate my My Wellness Weigh-In™ Framework, which encourages clients to regularly check in with their spirit, mind, and body as a foundation for lasting wellness. I believe true healing happens when we care for the whole person, not not just the symptoms. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, struggling with emotional eating, or simply ready to create healthier patterns, my goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and hope. It would be a privilege to support you on your journey toward healing and lasting wellness.

For more than twenty years, I’ve supported individuals and families across the Washington, DC region as a dedicated psychotherapist. Many clients know me as “Mr. Mike,” a name that reflects the trust, comfort, and partnership I work to build with every person who walks through my door. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy, and a belief that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. As both a therapist and a behavioral transformationalist, I focus on practical, prosocial strategies that help clients move forward with clarity and confidence. Outside the therapy room, I’m energized by reading, nature, the fine arts, travel, and great food. My large, loving family fuels my passion for youth advocacy, entrepreneurship, and community service. My studies across California, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have shaped a therapeutic style that is both compassionate and deeply informed. If you’re seeking a space where you can be heard, understood, and supported as you work toward healing and growth, welcome to RedemptionTriple‑C. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Hello, my name is Tyhesia Washington, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, D.C., and Maryland. I am deeply interested in and committed to helping people work through the complexities of life.

Sometimes, those situations cause scars that band-aid solutions can't fix.

I hope you walk away from our time together understanding more about yourself and confidently using skills/tools to address your needs.

Hello There ! My name is Tanya Edwards. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have accumulated over 15 years of clinical experiences with diverse populations.

My practice is geared towards empowerment for growth, sustainment, and more growth!

Welcome! I'm Giovonni- a poet, writer, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified OCD and Anxiety specialist serving residents in DC, MD, and VA. As a multicultural lesbian, I am dedicated to creating safe and affirming spaces for healing within communities of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. If you aren't experiencing anxiety or OCD, I would not be the right clinician for you. Allow me to visually paint a picture for you of what it's like to experience anxiety or OCD using a poem. Anxiety: There is a hum beneath everything I do. Restless. On edge. My mind scanning for threats that probably aren't there probably. I snap. I tense. I lie awake untangling the same worry I untangled last night. I smile fine. I function...barely. I am fine. The hum disagrees. Six months of this. Maybe more. The body keeps the score even when I pretend it doesn't. The Loop (OCD): Did I lock it? I locked it. But did I really? The thought arrives like a verdict intrusive, unwanted, wearing my voice. So I check. I count. I do it again and again until again feels safe. It never feels safe. Not contamination, not the door, not the stove it's the uncertainty I cannot hold. The ritual buys me sixty seconds of quiet before the loop loads again. I am not my thoughts. But they haven't learned that yet.

Welcome! I'm Mimi (Miyoung) Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life. Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.

My zeal is to equip individuals and families to be successful through collaboration of treatment goals and exploring innovative solutions, I am passionate about creating environments for individuals to excel by overcoming obstacles/barriers. My drive in practice comes from a quote by MLK “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor working in the field of addiction, and dual diagnosis disorders for over 20 years. I have worked with clients involved in the courts, juveniles, foster care, LGBTQ, developmentally challenged as well as individual on probation, parole and supervised release. My approach is client centered and focused on assisting you with obtaining realistic goals by using evidence-based practices. I understand the pain and discomfort that change can bring about. I also understand how internal conflicts can interfere with daily life and how worry, feelings of hopelessness, as well as intergenerational dysfunction, and anxiety can impact your daily life. Pain does not have to be enduring, you can heal.! Seeking help is the first step towards a promise of an improved quality of life.

I’m a therapist who believes healing starts with feeling safe and understood. I provide a calm space where you can talk freely and begin to unpack what’s been weighing on you. I have extensive experience helping clients manage stress, anxiety, and the effects of past experiences. In our sessions, I’ll teach simple, effective ways to handle emotions and life challenges. Together, we’ll work on building confidence, gaining clarity, and making choices that move you toward peace, balance, and a better quality of life.

Hello, my name is Stephen Pleasant, and I'm a psychotherapist for men. Why therapy for men? Well, because sometimes a man just needs a pork shoulder to cry on. That being said, I will also work with women as well. It’s a recognized human tendency for men to get “stuck” in their lives and to end up “settling” for the status quo when deep down they know they are capable of a great deal more. Here’s the truth; You are never “stuck” with your present circumstances. The Game of Life is a psychological and spiritual journey and winning at this game requires you to change your play and learn to think differently and do things in a new way. I help men break out from being “stuck” in life, resigned to producing results that are disappointing to them and others. My goal is to see transformative progress in men’s confidence, clarity, and self-expression, so that they may gain the fuller personal and work life they thought was beyond them.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like one of the hardest first steps, and I believe you deserve a space where you can simply be yourself, without fear of judgment. My goal is to create a supportive, compassionate environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want. I work with adolescents, adults, older adults, families, and athletes who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, stress, or feelings of being stuck. Together, we'll explore the patterns that may be keeping you from living the life you deserve while building practical tools to help you navigate challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion. I believe healing begins with curiosity rather than criticism. Many of us have learned to accept our thoughts as facts or carry beliefs about ourselves that were shaped by painful experiences. Therapy offers an opportunity to gently examine those beliefs, develop new perspectives, and reconnect with your strengths and values. My approach is collaborative, person-centered, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed care to help you build resilience, increase emotional well-being, and create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're looking for short-term support to work through a specific challenge or longer-term therapy to heal from past experiences, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing and growth.

What works for one person/couple who are experiencing a similar situation may not work for another and so I personalize your treatment to fit you.

My name is Dr. Olushola Bakare, and I'm a board-certified Psychotherapist. I attended St Joseph College. I'm happy to help you today with any of your concerns. I enjoy empowering people and digging out their strengths. I don't ask fish to fly, neither do I ask birds to swim. I respect everyone's strengths and help my client recognize them.

It is my ethical duty to officially terminate our therapeutic relationship when it is reasonably clear that the client is no longer beneficent, services are no longer required, counseling no longer serves the client's needs and interests, or Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT limits do not allow the provision of further counseling services. It is the policy of Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, that our professional relationship will be terminated after a one-month consistent lapse of meeting with a client. Dr. Olushola Bakare, LMFT, will attempt to notify you of this change in status as soon as possible after one month. My ethical duty is identifying, being available, and caring for current clients. It could feel awkward for our relationship to end, yet it is not meant to be discourteous in any way. I do not complete disability forms (Social Security, work excuse, FMLA, Court papers/legal papers, emotional support letters, etc). NO COUPLE THERAPY OR MEDICATION MANAGEMENT, PLEASE!
