I have 20 years of experience counseling a diverse array of adult clients. In my office, each person is treated as the unique individual they are without judgment or comparison. I start by listening to understand your story, your strengths, your needs, and your goals. I will work with you to identify techniques and strategies to cope with depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, substance abuse recovery, difficulty setting boundaries, low self-esteem, caregiving stress, grief, work-life balance stress, and other life challenges. We will work together to build a toolbox of healthy coping strategies and skills that will lead you to reach your goals.

I am a licensed clinical therapist, licensed in Virginia, Washington, DC, Maryland, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, and Utah.
Some of the most prominent issues couples face are growing resentment in one or both parties followed by an inability to effectively communicate the challenges that led to the resentment. I truly enjoy working with couples to gain a better mutual understanding of the challenges they are facing, what led to some areas of resentment, and how to communicate these things in a healthy and productive way.

I received a bachelor's degree in fine art from Kent State University and a master's degree in counseling from Trinity Washington University. I have been working in DC for the past 10 years engaging with individuals and families in various settings including court, community, and school.
I appreciate the trust and vulnerability it takes to seek help. Together, we will engage in compassionate, person-centered, and holistic therapy. I intend to promote an empathic, safe, and non-judgmental space that allows a strong therapeutic relationship to form.
My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in cultural sensitivity. I also use varying modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems Therapy. I have assisted clients in many areas, including anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.

Carl Jung once said, "One day You will grow up and the world will ask you who You are. If You don't know who you are, the world will quickly tell You." I believe the active choices we make, play a crucial role in shaping our sense of personal satisfaction, emotional confidence, and overall well-being. Changing the story, you tell about yourself, can have a profound impact on how difficult or easy the next few years of your life will be. Will Your story be one of courage, conviction and personal empowerment, or a repetitive tale of powerlessness? Will it be a story of accountability and healing, or shame? You are the only with the power to decide you matter. Empower Your voice. Redesign and refine...Choose freedom.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW - VA) (LICSW – D.C.) with over 22 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults in both inpatient and outpatient medical and community settings. I received my Undergraduate Degree from the University of Pennsylvania, and my Master's Degree in Social Work from New York University (NYU).
I consider myself to be an authentic, genuine, sincere individual who is deeply intuitive & empathic and who wants nothing more than for individuals who come for treatment to be relieved of their anguish, anxiety, acute depression, relationship conflicts & struggles, PTSD symptoms, and any other form of angst, suffering, or psychic pain that they may bear. My wish for clients is to be freed of the weight of their burdens & baggage.

My name is Willard and I am a licensed counselor in several states. My practice primarily focuses on helping others deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I help others to be okay with things that are beyond their control and work with them to establish themselves as the protagonist in their own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

Hi, my name is Efraim Eshaghian. I have been in therapy myself, and I have come to realize what allows one to live the life he would like to live. We work on allowing the client recognize his/her own solutions and path to greatness. Together, we create the amazing experience of being empowered, which is so powerful. Self discovery and self awareness of one's strengths is the key to open a world that one never knew existed. We try to find that hidden key and access this unbelievable world which is filled with one's positive qualities which ultimately allows one to change around his/her life. The experience is unbelievable.

"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state-of-mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be.
Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together.
