Therapists Beginning With S in District of Columbia

Welcome to Healing Hearts Therapy. Whether you need support navigating relationship challenges, processing grief, managing anxiety/depression, or exploring ways to move forward from past trauma, I am here to walk with you on your healing journey. At the center of my trauma-informed work is a deep belief that all of my clients possess inner wisdom, courage, and the potential to heal. I utilize a blend of modalities including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Relational Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, and EMDR. I am licensed in both DC and Maryland.

Could "Limiting Beliefs" be sabotaging you...at work or in your relationships? Would it be helpful to know how to identify and change them. So you can be kinder to yourself and feel powerful again.

We all deserve a space where we can explore and grow into our authentic selves. I can't wait to connect with you and help you feel your best. I'll provide a judgment free space where you can explore what "best" means and how you'd like to get there.

My name is Keri Sartin and I am the owner of Limitless Psychotherapy Services. I am really passionate about serving and helping people. I started my private practice in 2022 after practicing as a school social worker for 9 years and providing services to adults for over 15 years. I believe adults and children, do best when they feel heard and have supportive people in their lives. I enjoy working to address concerns of anxiety, depression, and general life changes. I also have a passion for helping parents better understand and connect with their children to transform and enhance the parent-child relationship.

I believe that psychotherapy provides the opportunity to develop self-awareness, improve our relationships with others, and alleviate distress and suffering. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, dealing with life’s transitions and challenges, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, I can help you develop the strategies and insight to do so. Together we will identify patterns of relating to yourself and others that are no longer working for you and figure out how to replace them with more fulfilling and satisfying ones.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California as well as the Washington DC area. I received I received my B.AS., and M.Ed. from Kent State University, and studied abroad at Oxford University in Oxford England. Over the last several years, I have provided Mental and Behavioral health services to the following populations: Individuals, Couples, and Families seeking clinical support in the schools, home setting, and community. I have also serviced foster care, adolescent females of color w/ children through a “Moms and Babies” program in Los Angeles.

Is your life in crisis mode? Are you holding on by a thread? If you feel like you need help with guidance and direction, I am here to help you. I have over ten years of experience working with a wide variety of mental health concerns and addiction. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment, so my clients feel safe and heard while discussing difficult issues and finding solutions.

Maybe you are unsure if you will ever be able to let go of the past or move forward from the people and events that have hurt you. You also may have realized that things from your past continue to affect you in the present, but are unsure how to address this. Healing from trauma can be a difficult journey, but you don’t have to do it alone. I believe you already have everything you need inside you to heal, and I will work with you to help you (re)discover that power. Working with me means that you will learn ways to tackle your triggers, break harmful patterns, and let go of what is holding you back.

I'm a counseling psychologist, trained as a researcher and therapist, with a passion for life-long learning. I view counseling as a creative process where we work collaboratively to uncover the root causes of what’s getting you stuck. In tandem, we work to discover what brings you a sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I specialize in working with adults who are interested in self-growth and identity development, in addition to finding relief from symptoms. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress/burnout, career development, and building self-esteem & self-compassion.

I work with individuals seeking relief from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, disordered eating, and other life stressors. Beyond symptom remission, my clients are often looking for long-term growth and deeper meaning in their relationships. With experience in residential, partial hospitalization, and outpatient levels of care, I both treat present behavioral issues and encourage subtle developmental growth with empathy. Additionally, I enjoy working with international clients, providing support during difficult transitions and help navigating cultural identity.

In my therapy work, it's important that I first learn who you are, and what strengths and values you possess. We then work together to identify how patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior may be holding you back from being the best version of yourself. I use evidence-based interventions (strategies proven successful through research) within a cognitive behavioral model. My style as a therapist is warm, nonjudgmental, and active. Whether you are hoping to improve your mood, develop more meaningful relationships, or learn skills to manage emotions, I'm here to support you through the ups and downs.

In my practice I am guided by the belief that change is possible and that every person has the capacity for healthy growth and development but may at times need help in accessing inner resources for positive change. I believe a therapist-client relationship that is characterized by empathy, curiosity, acceptance and caring is what facilitates the therapeutic process. I aim to provide an environment where my clients feel safe and free to explore their feelings, thoughts, needs and goals - an environment where we can work together at understanding what is keeping them from living a more fulfilling life.

Welcome. My practice focuses on supporting clients with difficulties that arise as they adjust to pregnancy, birth and parenting. I have a special interest in the communication and emotional needs of infants and toddlers and in helping parents who are struggling to enjoy their relationships with their young children. I also enjoy working with issues unrelated to parenting, including depression, anxiety, trauma, difficulties with transitions or problems in relationships, as well as working with people who would like space to think about who they are, what experiences have shaped them and how they want to live life going forward.

Together, in a safe space we can work on making mindset shifts, building self-acceptance and developing positive coping mechanisms and setting and working towards your goals. I also have extensive experience working with young child and partnering with parents offering guidance and support.

Dealing with anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or pain can be difficult.
