I specialized in treating children, adults, and families of children with educational and psychological disabilities through consulation, psychological testing, and therapy. With over twenty years of experience, I have worked in clinical settings, as well as private and public school settings.

I am a clinical psychologist with The Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to high quality psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing services to families in the DMV area. I help kids with big feelings improve their emotional awareness and advocate for their needs so that they can be more engaged both academically and socially. I also work with adults, and my work focuses on processing challenges related to parenting and life transitions so that they can find balance in their career and home lives.

I enjoy children/young teens and their parents and work especially well with children experiencing school and home anxieties and behaviors. My 23 years of experience in a school setting have developed my skills with children struggling with social communication disorders correlated with moderate and high functioning autism/developmental disorders.Collaboration with parents around effective limit setting and improved family functioning is also an area of professional strength.

Dr. Scarborough is a licensed clinical psychologist and board certified pediatric neuropsychologist who provides comprehensive neuropsychological/psychological evaluation services for children, adolescents, and young adults. Evaluations are aimed at identifying your child's unique pattern of thinking including their cognitive strengths and weaknesses which will ultimately guide treatment recommendations. After an evaluation, families will have gained a better understanding of their child's cognitive functioning and the necessary tools needed to best support their child in turn helping them reach their full potential.

I have been helping individuals and couples work through difficult issues in order to have a more fulfilling life for over fifteen years. Having been trained to work with people across the lifespan has enabled me to integrate an understanding of the origins, development and resolution of behavior and relationship patterns which are presently holding the client back from important accomplishments or feelings of well-being in their lives, even though these patterns may very well have historically originated out of a functional need.

Are you looking for better communication with your partner? Are you hoping for a more harmonious family life? You may have a child with special needs, or a blended family. Every family has it's own unique issues and struggles.

Individuals of all ages can benefit from therapy; my goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my client, regardless of age, feels comfortable and able to grow emotionally. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C). I began my career as a school based clinician, transitioning to private practice in 2014. I love what I do as a therapist, and am fortunate to be able to blend my 30 years of experience and knowledge to support my clients.

I am glad you are here and taking this first step towards the goals you have for yourself. I believe that creating a safe, supportive, open environment can allow my clients the opportunity to move toward healing. I incorporate body work and mindfulness as methods for healing for growth. We all have parts of us that keep us stuck in seasons of life and it is my honor to walk with you to process and examine new strategies to decrease negative symptoms and increase wholeness and health. We can develop patterns in our lives, some learned, some given, and pausing to examine them and develop new strategies is vital to growth and change.

In my practice I treat women, ages 18-45, dealing with a wide range of issues including, but not limited to, disordered eating, body image disturbances, anxiety, perfectionism, and depression, as well as relationship and identity issues. Therapy can be helpful as you navigate times of transition, change, or if you are 'stuck' or unable to achieve desired goals. Together, we will determine what is getting in the way of progress and then help you work through those things to become the best possible version of yourself.

Making the decision to help a child or teen who is struggling academically, behaviorally, socially and/or emotionally may be the most important decision you make. I see each child/teen as a puzzle. Sometimes the pieces fit together perfectly and other times it is necessary to work really hard to find the right piece to complete the puzzle. I use a variety of techniques - play therapy, sand therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy. I believe that a child is part of a larger system, including parents, siblings, and schools. I strive to work with all aspects of a child's world.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients to fully live their lives by building self-confidence, learning to regulate emotions, reduce stress, and increase problem solving skills in a non-judgmental environment where they can feel free to be themselves.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and neurodiversity. I want to take the time to collaborate with the client in learning about them to best meet their needs as we work towards their goals. I hope that clients will feel comfortable and empowered to try new tools that address the challenges they are currently facing.
