What’s on your mind?
These are things people say when they first reach out. If one of them sounds like you, start there.

That constant hum of worry, the brain that refuses to stop running scenarios, is one of the most common things people tell us when they first reach out. You’re not broken. Your nervous system is doing what it thinks is protecting you, and that’s something we can work with rather than fight.

Couples work is one of our deepest specialties, and you don’t both have to be sure about it to start.

That flatness is far more common than the version people picture, and it responds to therapy — especially the kind that gets curious about what the numbness is protecting you from.

Before You Reach Out
The five things people usually want to know first.
What if I’m dealing with more than one thing?
That’s incredibly common. Anxiety and depression often show up together. Relationship issues and individual struggles overlap. Trauma affects everything. Many therapists are trained across multiple specialties and therapy methods, so you don’t need to fit neatly into one category. A good therapist treats the whole person, not a single diagnosis.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. Many of our clients don’t have a clinical diagnosis — they’re navigating life transitions, career stress, relationship struggles, self-esteem issues, or just a persistent sense that something isn’t right. You don’t need to have a specific mental health condition to benefit from therapy. Sometimes traditional talk therapy is exactly what someone needs to gain insight and move forward.
What should I expect in my first session?
The first session is mostly about your therapist getting to know you — what brought you in, what you’re hoping to get out of therapy, and enough context to start forming a plan. Think of it as a conversation, not a test. Your mental health professional will ask about your history, current concerns, and goals. Many people feel relieved just having someone listen without judgment.
Do you offer therapy in person and online?
Yes. We offer both in-person therapy at our Dupont Circle office and telehealth throughout DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Research consistently shows online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions when there’s a strong therapeutic alliance. Both individual therapy and couples therapy are available in either format.
How much does therapy cost?
Individual therapy sessions range from $230 to $300, and couples therapy is $275 to $350. We’re an out-of-network practice — most PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of session costs, and we submit claims electronically on your behalf. If cost is a concern, many therapists in private practices offer sliding scales, and we’re happy to help you understand your options.
