Shift Happens. But you don’t have to do it alone.
Psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and groups in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Our licensed clinical social workers blend clinical skill with humor, compassion, and room for real healing, in person near Dupont Circle or online.
Our Approach
Real talk: the way we practice psychotherapy is not as something done to you or for you.
We work with you from a place of deep curiosity, cultural context, and genuine collaboration.
Your Story
We help you understand your story, yourself, and your needs from within yourself.
Our inclusive, trauma-informed approach will help you build deeper, more authentic relationships with yourself, your loved ones, and your community.
Our Therapy Services
Let’s discuss ways to explore your story. Find clarity through individual therapy sessions, relationship therapy, or group therapy.
Individual Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions.
One-on-one therapy for the things that feel stuck: worry, low mood, stress, grief, and patterns that keep repeating.
Couples and Relationship Therapy.
Support for conflict, communication, boundaries, and the question of whether to stay, recommit, or move on.
Group Therapy.
Interpersonal process groups led by licensed clinicians, an affordable way to do deep relational work alongside others.
“Psychotherapy, as I practice it, is a journey. It is a process, an exploration, a lighting up of paths not before seen.”
