Dashia W.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges. I became a mental health provider because I believe no one should have to navigate their adversities in silence. Currently, I work in the DMV area as a travel social worker and also enjoy providing care as a part-time outpatient therapist. My approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and creating a safe space where you feel seen and heard.

First session
In our first session together, we’ll take time to explore the concerns that brought you to therapy. We’ll collaborate to identify your specific goals and discuss how I can best support you in reaching them. We'll also talk about what you can expect from the therapeutic process, including what therapy looks like and how we can build a space that feels safe, supportive, and effective for you.
Strengths
I believe my greatest strength as a provider lies in my diversity, openness, and genuine commitment to supporting others. I value the opportunity to not only help my clients grow, but also to learn from each individual I work with. My passion is fueled by witnessing the progress my clients make — the confidence they build and the goals they achieve throughout the therapeutic process.
Ideal clients
Athletes, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), Caretakers, Chronic Illness, Graduate and Professional School Students, LGBQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer), TGNC (Transgender, Gender Non-Conforming) (Active Duty, Reserves, Veteran, Partner), Pregnancy/Postpartum, Relationships/Family, Religion/Spiritual, Substance Users and/or those impacted by the substance use of a loved one.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I utilize solution-focused therapy to help clients identify their overall goals and create measurable tasks/objectives to meet said goals.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help my clients reframe their thought processes or how they view things to help in changing behaviors.
Strength-Based
Stength-based treatment modalities are utilized to help clients identify their strengths, abilities, and positive attributes which helps in managing mental health symptoms and overall well-being.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing uses multiple techniques to help facilitate open-ended conversations. These techniques help allow clients to feel comfortable in opening up about concerns bringing them to therapy.
