Therapists in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC

Accepting new clients in DC, MD & VA - I am passionate about creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to be their true selves and work together as a collaborative team and follow my client's lead! I utilize a trauma informed and person-centered approach to empower clients to achieve their goals and overcome the challenges they are facing, while tailoring my approach to individual needs in order to process through difficult life experiences and build the skills they need to thrive. It is my goal in therapy to help clients process through disruptive thought patterns and uncomfortable emotions to achieve the life they desire!

Individuals of every ethnicity, culture, age, and background go through many life transitions, and as a therapist, Bizu works with clients to grow and examine their strengths in a nurturing, safe, and understanding environment. Whether it’s in their relationships, work, or identity, she helps them navigate their experiences with self-awareness and self-efficacy towards balanced well-being. Clients have expressed challenges with adjustment and anxiety from relocating, to job exploration, to the intersections of who they are, and Bizu supports all with care for the whole person.

Throughout life we can experience challenges within our selves and our relationships. We can find ourselves feeling confused, stuck, unhappy, or unsatisfied. We might notice changes in our moods or behaviors, or feel more affected by stressors than at previous times in our lives. I specialize in adult psychotherapy, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Other specialty areas include challenges in navigating life transitions, relationships, and identity development.

Greetings! There are circumstances in life that can lead people to feel anxious, depressed, stuck, or otherwise emotionally troubled. You may find yourself in patterns of unhealthy behaviors, thoughts or relationships that you can't seem to change.

I believe that each person has an innate ability to heal from trauma and pain. Events from the past can impact our mind and body in the present--sometimes getting in the way of current relationships and goals. I offer a safe space to tap into transformative healing, self-exploration, and personal growth. My clients bring an array of issues to therapy including trauma, addiction, sexual difficulties, relationship challenges, self-injury, and dissociation. I work collaboratively, recognizing that each client brings their own unique strengths to the work.

Welcome, I’m so glad you are considering therapy at this time. There are so many reasons why you might find yourself here right now. Maybe you have been feeling out of control lately, unable to manage your emotions. Maybe you are feeling less connected in your relationships, or perhaps you find yourself struggling with moving forward in some aspect of your life. All of this is understandable, and a normal part of being human. While it might feel like nothing can change or be different for you, the very fact that you are here speaks to some part of you that believes change is possible.

My clinical expertise is in issues related to emotional regulation, trauma, loss, and early life attachment experiences. I have a particular interest in supporting parents of young children (particularly at this time and in relationship to COVID-related school and care transitions). My approach can broadly be described as insight oriented and rooted in attachment, relational, and interpersonal theories as well as self-psychology. My expertise rests on meaningful personal experiences and on continuing rigorous training and teaching.

Seeking help takes courage and resolve. Whether you are struggling or seeking self-growth, therapy can be an effective place to start feeling and living better. I will meet you with warmth and kindness and partner with you to reach your goals. ​I have been working in this field since 2005, and I find the best work is done when my clients and I build a strong alliance in the service of their growth.

Our mind supports us in so many ways. But from time to time our mind needs support just like the rest of our body. Events in our life may impact our mind. You might have just gotten some challenging health news, recently lost a loved one, or sometimes it’s something from your past that keeps popping up. Or it could be the day to day of witnessing sadness in the news. Regardless of the reason, your mind deserves the same care as the rest of your body. My specialties include trauma, grief, anxiety, and health conditions (including fertility journeys and perinatal care).

Seeking relief from unpleasant feelings like sadness, irritability, anxiety, depression, anger & grief? When you struggle emotionally, small things can require greater effort. You may have feelings or reactions you can’t explain that defy your best strategies for feeling better. Perhaps you find yourself repeating patterns of behavior you’re not proud of. Or lack interest in pursuits you once enjoyed. Maybe you envision a happier, more productive life but don’t know how to get it. Therapy can help you identify and harness your strengths while adapting and altering patterns that don’t serve you well.

I am committed to helping individuals and couples gain insight and make behavioral changes to enhance their lives. My focus is on relationships with friends, family, romantic partners and/or the workplace as I believe engagement in these areas is an important aspect of living a satisfying and purposeful life. I also work with those struggling with addictions, compulsions, self-destructive behavior (especially eating disorders), and balancing the competing demands of life. My professional strengths are reflected in a nonjudgmental stance and an ability to help people examine themselves and make the changes necessary to live in a more fulfilling life.

Open to new clients located in NJ and DC areas. There is more to you than your struggles. Finding a therapist who treats you as a whole person, not a diagnosis, can be challenging. We all have times when we just need to strengthen our coping skills, see things from a different perspective, or simply say our truth out loud without judgment. That's where I can help. I will supply you with skills to cope with your life’s challenges and help you see yourself and your stresses from a variety of angles, giving you a better understanding of how to effectively deal with them.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated or misunderstood? Do you ever feel exhausted or resentful from trying to make sure everyone else is happy, trying not to rock the boat and putting your own needs last? Are you a high-achiever who has met all the qualifications and still feels nagging self-doubt? If you want to feel safer and more comfortable in your interactions with others, I would like to help you understand your emotions and improve balance and connection in your relationships. My therapy style is open, warm and collaborative, and I create space for you to feel truly accepted, present and hopeful.

Life can be hard sometimes, leaving us with bumps, bruises, and wounds that are difficult to heal on our own. Therapy is a space where you can better understand yourself so that you can heal and find a different and more meaningful way of being in the world. In the context of a safe and empathic therapeutic relationship, you are able to listen better to yourself, understand your emotional pain, and see the ways that it has impacted your life. It is through this process that the work of therapy can be both hard but ultimately rewarding.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an approach to therapy that demands full and active collaboration between the patient and therapist. The patient is expected to bring a will to live as fulfilled and happy a life as possible. In using ISTDP I approach the patient's time as invaluable, and believe the wisest approach is to be up front with the patient immediately and continuously, to bring relief from suffering in the fastest and safest way possible. Therapy is typically conducted on a weekly basis following the initial evaluation until goals are achieved.
