Let's reduce feelings of overwhelm, together. I am a Doctor of Social Work, trauma specialized, and clinically licensed in DC, VA, SC, RI and IN as a social worker and substance use disorder therapist serving children, teens, and adults (mandated and non-mandated). We can focus on anger, feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm, panic, grief, always thinking, people pleasing, holding guilt and shame, inability to focus, nightmares, and so many other thoughts, feelings, experiences, and emotions that result from the environment around us. We can really lean into substance use and the agonizing cycle of it all. I am nationally certified in TF-CBT (ages 3-18), and CPT and PE trained for adults with PTSD. Additionally, you can receive mindfulness-based, somatic integration, and a holistic lens to examine your needs via my 11 years’ experience and an additional master's in integrative health coaching plus 20 years’ experience in therapeutic design, so we can look together at social and environmental problem and solution spaces based upon your needs. I've also worked for several years in urban public school systems, so can help students, caregivers, and educators navigating school-based stress. I am culturally humble and honor intersectionality. Thank YOU for reading about how we can partner to increase your feelings of hope and wellness.

Hi! I am Maria. Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, alone, or that no one can possibly understand what you are going through? Do you struggle with relationships, in particular the consequences of those relationships? Are you feeling stressed by a pregnancy, communicating with your significant other, decisions around birth control and parenting, and all that's in between? I work one-on-one with women to discuss life stressors that are causing stress, anger, increased sadness, and feelings of isolation. Using a holistic and strengths-based approach, we will work together to identify what area is causing you the biggest issues, address your soul & body connection, and take a personalized approach for your healing and well-being. Using strategies from various approaches (mindfulness, positivity, art/journal/creative therapy, talk therapy, and spirituality-based methods, to name a few). I provide a nonjudgmental space for you to get your thoughts out and ease some of the mental/emotional/spiritual burden you may be carrying around. Starting this journey is never easy, but taking that first step will empower you to access the support within your reach, and in this way take action in promoting your happiness and wellbeing. Nothing is too small, nothing is insignificant, do not be afraid. Reach out, I would love to work with you!

I am a graduate of Virginia Union University with a Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and I later went on to receive my Master's degree in Social Work with a concentration in Mental Health from Howard University. Throughout my studies, my practicum experience consisted of working with the Maryland Truancy Court Reduction Program and Outpatient Behavioral Health Services at MedStar Washington Hospital Center. I received post-graduate, intensive training at the Immigration Evaluation Training Center in the area of extreme hardship waivers, domestic violence (VAWA) & asylum immigration evaluations in Virginia and Washington, DC. Thereafter, I later went on to work in a variety of settings that have afforded me the opportunity to diversify my work and skill set with different populations and individual needs. This includes addiction, foster care & adoption, community support and residential treatment. My experience has afforded me the opportunity to learn from and support individuals who struggle with everyday life stressors, those that are impacted by mild, moderate, severe and chronic mental illness. My background includes adolescents, young adults, adults, and geriatrics who are struggling with mental health challenges. In 2017 I began working in leadership at Gateway Homes, Inc. where I gained expertise with serving individuals with serious and persistent mental illness. My practice opened in 2020 and I continue to provide direct services to individuals in the community who are struggling with different social, emotional and behavioral issues that are causing discomfort.

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.

I’m Isabel, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and suicidal thoughts. I understand that reaching out for support can be difficult, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, or stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate EMDR, Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), CBT, and nervous system-informed approaches to help clients better understand themselves, process difficult experiences, and build lasting resilience. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, or thoughts of suicide, we’ll work together to identify what’s getting in the way and develop a path forward. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship that feels genuine, supportive, and nonjudgmental. My goal is to help clients feel understood while building the insight, confidence, and tools needed to create meaningful and lasting change.

Greetings to you and all With a wish for good health and peace in your life. My name is Sherby John. I have been working and learning along this journey, we call life, just as you have. It can be a journey filled with joy and struggle. Have you reached a point where it seems there is more struggle than joy or feel stuck in the muck that seems to only get deeper or harder to transgress? Then maybe it is time to find new paths and options by having a guide on this journey. Therapy can be a vehicle for change and development of workable tools to assist in continuing with this journey. Whether you are dealing with Depression, Life changes, Anxiety, Relationships, Trauma, or a new medical or mental health diagnosis, therapy can be a useful mechanism for support, discernment, and information. I would like to provide you with a safe and welcoming environment and space to relieve yourself of these stressors through working on alternatives to current reactions to triggers or stressors in the way of continuing your journey, your way and at your own pace. Come in. Lets Talk. Lets get to work.

I am a psychotherapist who works with a diverse population of people. My goal is to collaborate with individuals to assist them in achieving their therapy goal(S). My treatment modalities are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and Ericksonian hypnotherapy approaches. Although I used these modalities, I do not use a one size fits all approach. I am a think-out-of-the-box clinician that will often challenge clients to try approaches that may be out of their comfort zone. Some examples of my experience include working with individual clients on developing skills in coping with mental health conditions/diagnosis, life stress, finding balance, and improving self-esteem. Although I use these approaches, my clients tell me it feels like we are having a conversation as opposed to feeling like they are in a therapy session. I have a specialization in working with Veterans, LGBTQI, men, and people of color populations. However, I work with all people who are seeking mental health services. I am licensed in DC (LICSW), VA (LCSW), MD (LCSW-C), and PA (LCSW). I have BS in Human Ecology, BA in Humanities from The Ohio State University, MSW from San Jose State University and Post Masters fellowship in mental health from Stanford University.

I am Juliana Sarkodee a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have been working with the deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing clients for over ten years, mostly in person until the pandemic led me to provide services online. I am glad that you are taking steps to address issues in your life and gain clarity on how to cope. I have worked with clients to identify anxious thoughts/ADHD symptoms/, depression/, stress/ relationship /self-esteem/ trauma/ grief, and identify coping skills they utilized in the past, and identify new coping skills in the short term and long term. My therapy style combines empathy with a strength-based, solution-focused approach. I believe this combination can be very useful with different types of challenges that people face, and I am happy to work with them.

With over 20 years of experience supporting adolescents, and adults, I take a mind-body approach to therapy. I specialize in integrating Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with principles from Polyvagal Theory. This combined approach allows us to look beyond symptom management. Together, we will address both the impact of past experiences and how your nervous system responds to stress in real time— helping you build long-term resilience and supporting your mental well being.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
