Therapists Beginning With W in District of Columbia

Do you feel like you're stuck in patterns or cycles that keep repeating but don't feel good and are making life difficult? Do you long for a deep sense of feeling supported, grounded, and ok? Do you struggle with feelings of self doubt, guilt, shame, not being good enough and self criticism? Do you feel caught up in the "should" and "supposed to" messages of your family, culture and society and don't know how to be you? Do you long to be seen for all of who you are? Could you use some support with how to navigate this complicated world?

Whatever the concern, we explore it in a safe and relaxed atmosphere and agree together on a plan to move forward.
