Hi! I'm Alexis and I am glad you are here. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in the DMV with over 12 years of experience and I've worked with individuals navigating a wide range of concerns from anxiety and relationship trauma to life transitions and unexpected turns. I’ve earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling and a Nonprofit Management, and that dual background shapes how I work. I care about outcomes as much as I care about the therapeutic process which means you'll leave sessions with more than just insight. You'll leave with practical methods to apply to your everyday life.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when anxiety is constant, depression feels heavy, or life has shifted in ways you didn’t expect. If you’ve made it here, I want you to know I’m already rooting for you. My name is Mileyni Rivera, and I work primarily with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the impact of trauma. I believe therapy should feel supportive, collaborative, and human, a space where you can drop the mask and talk honestly about what’s been weighing on you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundation to help you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect, while integrating trauma-informed approaches based on your needs, goals, and pace. I’m down-to-earth, curious, and genuinely invested in helping you reconnect with your strengths. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, gain clarity, and build practical tools you can use in daily life. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about creating space to heal, understand yourself, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. My name is Alice (XiaoRan) Zhao. As an Asian woman and a mother of two young children, I bring both lived experience and professional understanding to my work with mothers, trauma survivors, and BIPOC individuals. I understand the emotional weight of carrying multiple roles while navigating cultural expectations, systemic barriers, and personal healing. I specialize in supporting mothers and BIPOC clients who have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or discrimination. These experiences can leave lasting impacts, including intrusive thoughts, emotional overwhelm, feelings of guilt or shame, and physical responses that may feel hard to control. You do not have to carry this alone. I provide a safe, culturally responsive, and compassionate space where your experiences are honored and understood through various therapeutic approaches. Trauma is not always easy to put into words. Memories may feel fragmented or difficult to access, and talking about them in detail can feel overwhelming. In therapy, I use Brainspotting to help process traumatic and stressful experiences in a gentle and effective way, allowing healing to happen without requiring you to relive every detail. For mothers, especially BIPOC and immigrant mothers, there can be added layers of pressure, identity shifts, and isolation. Whether you are balancing caregiving, navigating intergenerational expectations, or adjusting to life in a new culture, I understand the unique challenges you face. As a counselor, I am deeply committed to empowering you, honoring your resilience, and supporting your journey toward healing, balance, and hope.

Hello! I’m Michele, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with decades of experience in working with clients on finding their best path forward. My career has been both as a therapist and coach in college and international athletics. My intention is to walk with you on your journey, providing insight and helping to identify areas to improve. I feel like my professional and personal life experiences have prepared me to meet clients where they are and allow them to feel comfortable with sharing the parts of themselves that they normally don’t share with others.

Listening to others' stories and supporting them in finding positive paths through challenges has always felt like a natural calling. Even as a child, friends would often reach out, and my mom would joke, "Is the doctor in?" Later on, this passion led to volunteering with kids in creative programs and working in hospice care, where deeper connections were formed. These experiences led to a rewarding role at an outpatient community clinic, where people from all walks of life could share their unique journeys and struggles. My work with clients have included helping those navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. The ideal clients are those who are open to exploring interventions and truly wish to understand themselves more deeply. Therapy is not about achieving perfection but rather finding new perspectives on who we are and how we engage with the world around us. Healing and personal growth rarely follow a straight path, and it's the patience and willingness to try that often make the difference in finding the right way forward.
