Therapists in District of Columbia

I believe that meaningful healing begins in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to create a supportive and authentic environment where you can explore your inner world with openness and safety. I strive to meet each person with genuine empathy and respect, recognizing that each individual’s journey is unique. Together, we work at your pace to understand your experiences, build insight, and move toward lasting growth and healing. I practice from a trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspective, honoring the diverse backgrounds and life experiences that shape who we are. I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative partnership; one that empowers you to develop self-awareness, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in your life. My therapeutic foundation is rooted in person-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. At the same time, I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness. This integrative approach allows me to adapt our work together to best fit your individual needs, values, and goals.

Hey there, I am Ta’Tiana Miles and I’m a licensed independent clinical social worker dedicated to supporting individuals and couples in creating lasting positive change. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds and in a variety of settings, including private practice, outpatient clinics, in the hospital setting, in the school setting and community mental health organizations. I’m continuously expanding my knowledge through workshops and conferences to ensure that I bring the most up-to-date and effective techniques to my practice. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, where we work together to explore the issues that matter most to you. By providing a safe, empathetic space, I help clients identify negative thought patterns and emotional blocks, and replace them with healthier, more balanced ways of thinking and coping. My work is grounded in the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is based on the understanding that our thoughts influence our feelings and behaviors. Using CBT techniques, I guide clients in identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns that may be contributing to their emotional struggles, whether that’s anxiety, depression, or stress. Additionally, I integrate Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve ambivalence, especially when it comes to making meaningful life changes.

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.

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.
