Therapy is a place you can expect to feel safe, validated and supported. You will bring curiosity, openness, and desire to change. I will provide safety, compassion, and practical skills for managing the challenges of everyday life.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Beth Levine

Do you get overwhelmed by your emotions or feel numb? Do you get caught in a negative spiral of shame and worthlessness? Maybe you find that you feel irritable much of the time or have trouble concentrating. I know that these challenges and others are painful and get in the way of leading a fulfilling life. I don’t want you to suffer from them anymore. The skills I have learned and the understanding I bring to my work will help you be self-compassionate and enjoy your life.

Dawn Johnson

If you feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed or stuck, if you are frustrated by your family or relationships, struggling to feel confident in yourself or your career path, or are worn out by disordered eating, my practice may be a good fit for you. I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in people who have traditionally viewed themselves as high achievers, but who find that they aren't as happy as they thought they would be.

Sonia Kersevich

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. I am here to provide support. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.

Online Therapy

Jennifer Beytin

I work with adults who are navigating personal and professional challenges brought on by anxiety, depression, work-life balance, life transitions, and more. I especially enjoy helping neurodivergent adults and overwhelmed professionals who feel stuck, frustrated, or burned out. I also work with clients who don’t have a formal mental health diagnosis, but are interested in reducing stress or improving overall well-being.

Jessica Ogilvie

So many of us have had to disconnect from our body to survive in some way, whether that be due to difficult experiences, marginalization, relational wounds, or other forms of trauma. Yet, many of us reach a point in our lives where being at war with ourselves is no longer working. You may be noticing that the way you relate to yourself is negatively impacting your health, your life and how you show up in your relationships. Therapy can help heal so you can show up more effectively in your life.

Lou Sanfillipo

While I welcome and support all clients, I specialize in serving folx who identify as gender, sexuality, and relationship diverse (GSRD). I provide individual therapy, sex therapy, and couples (+) therapy to support people in meeting their goals for themselves and their relationships. It is never the wrong time to become a better version of yourself. Some come to work through trauma and transitions, while others come for empowerment, self-care, and healthy boundaries.

Caroline Sahr

I have great care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help work through the challenges and difficult feelings they experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults regarding various issues, including: anxiety, depression, stress, complex trauma, oppression, relationships and intimacy, sexual assault and domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ dynamics. I am licensed in Virginia and DC which means I can see clients who are physically located in either jurisdiction.

Jacqueline Casumbal

My ideal client: 1) wants to or is curious about connecting to their racial, cultural, and or ethnic roots outside of white supremacy and the patriarchy, 2) is open to talking about the impact of systemic oppression, 3) appreciates exploring their relationship to nature and spirituality, the metaphysical and mysterious, 4) open to my relaxed, conversational, and sometimes humorous therapeutic approach (as opposed to a highly structured approach with exercises and homework).

Adele Stuckey

I work with adults and couples for perinatal mental health, identity exploration, and neurodiverse-affirming support in an LGBTQIA+ safe space. If you feel like you “have it all,” but you can’t shake this nagging feeling that something is missing, are overwhelmed managing your multiple roles (parent, spouse, partner, friend, co-worker), or feel like you’re struggling to navigate fertility as a queer person, get pregnant, be pregnant, or transition into parenthood, I can help.

Stacey Hellman

I work with adults and adolescents (age 15+) struggling with issues such as anxiety, addictions, PTSD, grief and loss and life transitions such as divorce. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have many clients in the LGBTQIA community. The main factor that I've found to be the best predictor of successful therapy is the client's internal motivation to make changes. I can't do it for you but I can help you every step of the way!
