Services
Psychotherapy in Washington DC
As licensed psychologists with more than 25 years of experience helping people cope with life more effectively, we are trained in evidence-based psychotherapy methods that work.
Our therapeutic approach
We tailor our therapeutic services to each client’s needs and goals, using only the most appropriate strategies for each person and situation. Some things are common to all of our work: building insight, education about the neurobiology of behavior, appropriate cognitive and behavioral strategies, and the healing experience of a collaborative and compassionate relationship.
“The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” William James
The change process
People who are curious about themselves, open to learning more about their role in their world, and motivated to learn and use new strategies typically have the most success working with us.
Time between sessions is as important as time within them: it is where the work is tested and fine-tuned. With ongoing awareness and curiosity, new perspectives and behaviors are identified and practiced until they become effective habits. This growth gives way to more confidence, more efficient coping, and feelings of happiness and satisfaction.
Who we see
Individuals, couples and families
Individual therapy
We work with adolescents, adults and seniors who are curious to understand more about themselves and ready to unlock their inner strength to create the life they want. We help people identify their strengths and uncover the patterns holding them back from the satisfaction and joy they want. This growing self-awareness is the foundation for sustainable change, and it is unique to each person.
Couples therapy
Whether you are in a long-term relationship or just starting out, couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship. Communication skills are an early and consistent focus, along with the areas of conflict where you both feel stuck. Better communication sets the foundation for uncovering the patterns that keep you from the happiness you both want.
Family therapy and parenting
As with couples, the emphasis is on improving communication and understanding the patterns that keep a family system stuck. With better communication, conflicts can be understood and reshaped so that more fulfilling interactions can prevail, and the interpersonal skills that sustain them are learned along the way.
