Therapists in Shaw, Washington, DC

I believe that everyone deserves therapy and an objective ear. No problem is too big or too small. I see it as part of my job to help you understand the way you think and feel so that you can have more meaningful relationships with those closest to you.

I know first hand the mind numbing effect of internet porn and its effects on a marriage. Now 100% porn free, after struggling for 15 years it is my mission to help others overcome and achieve complete recovery from internet pornography. Maybe you have been struggling with overwhelming compulsions to use porn, or you have tried over and over again to stop but every time you try to stop you find that it pulls you harder back to where you started again. Maybe you are experiencing erectile dysfunction due to porn or your partner is ready to leave due to your porn usage and "acting out", stop trying alone and Call me today.

As of August, I have openings for new clients. I'm a practical, easygoing, and results-oriented therapist. We work in collaboration as partners, combining your goals with my research-proven techniques. These techniques include CBT, traditional talk therapy, a focus on improving SENS factors (sleep/exercise/nutrition/social), and others, always applied holistically and non-dogmatically. I do particularly well with issues that therapy has thus far failed to resolve. While traditional therapy focuses on exploring and understanding your issues, I make sure we take action, see real change, and prevent backsliding.

Welcome! My job is to use my knowledge and skills to enhance what's already working for you. Areas of focus: Work stress, worries, sleep issues, health challenges, grief and loss, parenting support, guilt and shame, career and life transitions. My work emphasizes mind/body awareness to create health and healing. I've worked with clients who are completely new to therapy and those who have tried working with different therapists. My intention is to help you heal and rediscover your voice.

12/21/2023- Yes, we are currently accepting new clients. Welcome to A Fresh Start Therapy. FYI: This time of year is difficult for many as we get less sunlight and our days are shorter. Both Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Major Depressive Disorder flare up in the Fall. Consider making a small change in your environment like adding art to your sleeping area or tossing a piece of furniture or decor that no longer fits who you are. Making subtle updates to your home or work space can improve your mood a bit. Give it a try!

Do you want to begin working on you? Life can be hard and throw many obstacles at you. You may feel that you want to start tackling these obstacles head on. These obstacles can include feeling empty about life, a failed relationship, or a hard time adjusting to a new work environment. No matter the obstacle, you can overcome it and lead an amazing life with some help.

Congratulations, you are considering therapy! You are taking an awesome leap into getting to know yourself better. I am Leila Rosado, owner and provider for Eudaemonia Today, LLC. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker in both DC and MD, I provide psychotherapy, coaching, and diagnostic assessment for couples and individuals 16 years of age and older. With over 20 years of experience working in mental health, I have found my passion in this field. Everyone has skills that can be used to make small or big changes in their lives. Sometimes it just takes a spark and the desire for something different.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and DONA-trained Birth Doula, who has worked in maternal mental health, veteran health, and healthcare for unhoused individuals. I have experience working with those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and the effects of sexual and race-based traumas.

My focus is to help individuals heal, become aware of their inner strengths, and prosper. Though I work with all, I specialize in the treatment of BIPOC adults with issues related to perinatal mental health, trauma, adjustment, anxiety, depression, and suicide. I have a passion for enhancing the psychological wellbeing and functioning of historically underserved, stigmatized, and oppressed groups. My therapeutic style is direct but empathic, inclusive, and professional. I strive for a safe, strength-based and collaborative treatment setting where cultural components are integrated and respected, and treatment is tailored to fit.

As the demands of daily life become increasingly complex, many people find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relational conflicts, difficulty with managing life-work balance, and unresolved trauma from earlier experiences.

Therapy is where we ease loneliness and deepen connection with ourselves and others. Where we begin to feel safe and ready to make real and lasting change in our lives. Where we gain new understanding & awareness that guides us out of the place we're in, to the place we long to be.

My hope is to help you learn more about yourself and your relationships in order to feel more connected in your life and see possibilities for change that can enhance life satisfaction. My work focuses on exploring thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and collaborating to find inner strengths and make changes that can enhance quality of life. We can also integrate coping strategies to help enhance resilience and alleviate distress.

I help clients to create change through a better understanding of themselves and their relationships. You may be feeling dissatisfied or uncertain, disconnected from others or lacking a sense of control over your emotions or life choices, but I believe that you already have the ability and determination to help yourself. I work to draw out that ability through a combination of insight-expanding exploration and skill building to help you overcome challenges, all while utilizing my training to call out patterns and behaviors that may be getting in your way. I aim to create an environment that feels safe, accepting, and empowering.

My 40 plus years in the mental health field have been shaped by my work in two major areas: thirty years working in a psychiatric hospital, and my on-going private practice . These two defining experiences have brought to me an awareness of the enormous resiliency of the human spirit and mind and of the capacity for everyone to achieve change in their lives. Sometimes the change is massive, sometimes it is less major, but not necessarily less important. Sometimes that change may require developing a whole new perspective on life or relationships, while at others it may only involve looking at a problem from a different angle.
