Services
We provide individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and family therapy for adolescents, college students and established adults. We also offer parent coaching, including Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), for parents of small children through college, including those with ADHD and ASD . Treatment consistency is a key factor in therapeutic change, and we meet with clients on a weekly basis at a regularly scheduled time. We do not find less frequent sessions to be sufficient in helping clients meet their therapeutic goals, so do not offer every other week or as-needed services, though may adjust treatment frequency as existing clients reach their therapeutic goals and transition out of regular care.
Our providers are licensed in Washington, DC, Virginia, and PSYPACT states, and able to accept telehealth clients who are based in those locations or outside of the United States. We are unfortunately unable to accommodate new clients who will be engaging in telehealth from other locations in the US.
Our therapists are trained in a variety of therapeutic methods (including CBT, psychodynamic, interpersonal, ACT, DBT, humanistic, and strengths-based approaches) in order to craft a treatment plan that is customized to your needs. We believe in working both towards symptom reduction and a deeper understanding of what led you to your current concerns so that you leave therapy with the tools and insight needed to experience lasting change.
