In-person therapy in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC

A lot of therapists went fully virtual after 2020 and never came back. We kept our office. We think mental health care benefits from having a place to go, so ours stayed open and central to how we work. If your search has been turning up only video links, that’s why in-person help can feel hard to find right now.

1350 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 800, in Washington, D.C. The building sits right at the Dupont Circle Metro station. Take the Red Line to Dupont Circle, use the south exit, and the elevator brings you to the eighth floor. Door to door from most of Northwest DC, it’s usually under half an hour.

Yes. There’s a parking garage just across the street toward 19th, metered spots on the surrounding streets, and a few more garages within a couple of blocks. And if parking is the thing standing between you and therapy, remember every one of our therapists also works online.

Come up to Suite 800 a few minutes early. There’s an iPad in our waiting room; tap in, and your therapist knows you’ve arrived. Have a seat until they come out to meet you. Most people are a little nervous the first visit and settle in within the first few minutes. That’s normal, and your therapist knows it.

Individual therapy ranges from $230–$300 per session and couples therapy from $275–$350, depending on the clinician. Those are identical to our online rates. We’re an out-of-network practice: you pay at the time of your session, we file the reimbursement claims with your insurance for you, and most clients end up paying $75–$125 per session after reimbursement.

We don’t bill insurance plans directly. Like roughly 70% of therapists in DC, we’re out-of-network. But most plans include out of network benefits for mental health care, and we handle the claims paperwork on your behalf. It’s worth checking your out-of-network coverage before your first session. If cost is the barrier, the Capital Therapy Project offers reduced-fee therapy with supervised clinicians.

Anytime, in either direction. Video when you’re traveling or slammed, in person when you’d rather be here. It’s the same therapist either way, so there’s nothing to catch anyone up on. Just let your therapist know what works for you that week.

Sessions run 45–50 minutes, and most clients meet weekly at the start. Weekly rhythm is part of what makes therapy work, especially early on. As things progress, you and your therapist adjust the rhythm together.

The building has elevator access directly to Suite 800, and the Metro entrance below has elevator service to street level. If you have specific accessibility needs, tell us when you reach out and we’ll make sure everything is set before your first visit.

That’s the normal starting point. Washington has more than 3,000 therapists, so the hard part is less about finding a therapist and more about finding the right one for you. You don’t need a diagnosis or a preferred method; whether cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, or something else serves you best is a question we help you answer, and you can gain insight into that in the first session or two. Tell us what’s going on, whether it’s anxiety, depression, a relationship, or one of life’s bigger transitions, and we’ll recommend the therapist whose expertise fits, with appointment times you can see right away.
