Therapists for college students near Howard University

Eudaimonia is a professional mental health practice. We are helping individuals improve their overall well-being through introspection, education, skills-building, therapy, and medication. We recognize that wellness looks different for each individual, so we tailor our approach to suit each client's specific needs. Our wellness practice strives to be a space where patients are comfortable providing some of their most intimate thoughts to their clinicians and reassured by the fact that they are receiving quality care. We hope that through teamwork—a combination of our clinicians’ extensive knowledge in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and the medical factors contributing to how one feels and our patients’ doing the hard work of investing in themselves—positive outcomes will be assured. Our treatment philosophy involves evidence-based mental wellness services that start with therapy and incorporate comprehensive medication management if indicated. While based in the greater DC Metropolitan Area, clinicians hold licenses in AL, AZ, DC, FL, IL, MD, MT, ND, NE, PA, VA, and WI and are available to see patients throughout those states via telepsychiatry. For those with UnitedHealthcare StudentResources insurance (Georgetown University, University of Maryland, & University of Florida), your co-pay is only $10 per session.

I am a dual board-certified family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 11 years of combined clinical experience in working in the outpatient settings. I earned my post master’s certificate as a PMHNP from the University of Cincinnati in 2021 following 9 years of practice as a family nurse practitioner. I have worked in the FQHC settings caring for the underserved population, detention center, nursing homes and community mental health centers in several states. These diverse experiences have shaped me into a well-rounded and adaptable provider. I take a holistic, patient-centered approach, focusing on the whole person rather than just their symptoms. By integrating the latest evidence-based practices with a strong emphasis on patient education and advocacy, I strive to empower individuals to take an active role in their well-being. My passion lies in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to patients from diverse backgrounds and communities. I provide medication management and supportive therapy, as needed, for the treatment of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and other mental health conditions. I recognize that everyone is unique, and I dedicate time to understanding each patient’s individual needs in order to equip them with the skills and tools necessary for a fulfilling and successful life.

Understanding people to help them authentically see themselves has been my primary objective since entering the field of mental health, specifically dedicating my time to helping enrich the lives of others. In my years of experience, I have met with people of all ages, listening to and absorbing their stories, eventually helping them to make small steps leading into big changes in their lives. I currently provide therapy to various populations (military, children and adults), specializing in CBT, strength-based and solution-focused techniques to address concerns in areas of trauma, ADHD, depression, anxiety, relational issues and adjustment challenges.

As a licensed therapist with experience helping a diverse range of individuals, I specialize in guiding BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and young to older adults through struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, relationship problems, life transitions, and perinatal issues. My mission is to support you in cultivating healthier thought patterns and behaviors through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), building and improving coping strategies through Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and assisting in the processing and healing of trauma and life experiences. I take a trauma-informed and empowering approach that is tailored to your unique history and goals. Working together, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment designed to help you build resilience and enhance coping strategies, with treatments that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused approaches. No matter the treatment, I believe in empathy, collaboration, and honesty, which helps me be a caring, team-oriented, and transparent partner in your therapeutic journey. I look forward to building a strong, reliable relationship that nurtures our time together. My path to becoming a therapist began with work as an immigration paralegal, a victim-witness coordinator, and a guardianship liaison. These experiences developed my awareness of the gap in mental health services for BIPOC communities and deepened my commitment to making a difference within my communities. I now bring a personalized, supportive, and empathetic presence to each session guided by this awareness and dedication for positive change. Outside the office, I love reading – and building book nooks to get lost in novels in comfort. I also enjoy traveling and swimming for fitness.

As a mental health therapist with experience supporting diverse populations, I am dedicated to helping adolescents, adults, and high-performing creatives and athletes in overcoming struggles related to stress, depression, anxiety, identity development, life transitions, attachment concerns, and self-doubt. My approach is focused on collaboration, grounding, and culturally responsive care, as I’m passionate about helping you access the healing you already have within you, build confidence, and navigate life’s challenges with clarity and resilience. Working together, you can expect a reflective and open-minded environment that meets you where you are to support your strengths, goals, and lived experiences. My style is compassionate and adaptive, allowing me to be a fully engaged partner in your healing journey, which may utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help you build self-awareness, manage anxiety, and navigate life transitions with confidence. I look forward to exploring challenges together, developing practical skills, and guiding you in navigating life with clarity, confidence, and agency. My path to becoming a therapist was built upon my own experiences navigating identity, grief, high-performance pressures, life transitions, and chronic medical challenges. Overcoming the obstacles created from these challenges taught me the value of providing restorative, patient-centered care, a perspective that allows me to better support self-awareness, insight, emotional regulation, meaning-making, psychological flexibility, and behavioral change in each session. When I’m not in the office, I’m out and about in my community! I love thrifting, traveling, running, dancing, and facilitating community events. During quieter moments, I enjoy journaling/reflection and making oddly specific music playlists.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) dedicated to helping teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals adjust to life's challenges and build emotional regulation skills. Through a solutions-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based approach, I help heal the body, mind, and spirit in ways that work best for you. My specialties include mood and anxiety disorders; sexual issues like dysfunction, trauma, and pervasive sexual behavior; trauma and PTSD; and relationship problems, including non-traditional relationships. I believe in meeting people where they are through a collaborative and understanding approach. That’s why I ensure a fun and down-to-earth environment in our work together, helping you build effective tools and break down walls to overcome struggles. We achieve this together through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and more approaches so you better understand your emotions, your reactions to those emotions, and ways to manage life experiences. The Netflix show Sex Education drew me toward the therapeutic path upon being inspired by the main character’s mother and the type of work she did with her clients. After finding a dual-program with this specialty, I discovered my love for general mental health care and how it intersected with many sexual issues that people experience. This love brings new inspiration to my practice now, where I ensure judgement-free, trauma-informed, strengths-based care with an open mind and down-to-earth vibe. I enjoy a variety of hobbies when I’m not in the office – exercising and playing with my dog to stay active, reading and trying new restaurants to explore new worlds, and spending time outdoors to connect with nature.

I work particularly well with clients who are struggling to build meaningful connections with others, as well as those navigating the balance between pursuing success and paralyzing perfectionism. My approach is warm, empathic, collaborative and non-judgmental; I aim for you to feel understood and empowered in session, and to carry those feelings into your broader life. I have extensive training in skill-based techniques, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), radically open dialectical behavioral therapy (RO DBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and insight-oriented therapies. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through extended sessions. My training allows me to craft a treatment strategy that meets your unique needs and provides you with the tools to increase your self-awareness, sense of control over your feelings, and satisfaction with your life, relationships and choices. I specialize in working with teens, college students, and young adults through experienced professionals, including those with demanding jobs who would like to increase their sense of connection to their families. I have particular expertise in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, social connectedness, grief, life transitions, perfectionism and disordered eating, with a focus on helping clients to remain present and resilient in response to day-to-day demands.

Whether you suffer from anxiety or depression, if you’re angry or sad, when you experience low self-esteem, or your relationships do not work out — as a highly trained therapist, I can help you with these and other difficulties. I have helped many people to take charge of their lives, to reduce their symptoms, and to make positive and lasting changes. My approach is focused on helping you learn how your mind works and empowering you to identify and to change your emotional patterns. As a therapist who has worked in a variety of settings (non-profit clinic, college campus, crisis program, psychiatric setting) and with diverse populations (children, adolescents, young adults, older adults of different races and different cultures), I am more likely to be able to relate to your unique life situation and to help you with a wide array of issues. Having experienced immigration, I enjoy working with and have expertise with race- and culture-related individual and family matters. Another area of my expertise is lifespan development issues — from child and adolescent to young, middle, and older adulthood.

As a Licensed Graduate Social Worker, I specialize in supporting individuals and couples navigating fertility treatment, infertility challenges, and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), including IVF and IUI. I also have a deep commitment to working with LGBTQIA+ individuals and same-sex couples on their family-building journeys, including donor conception, sperm or egg donation, gestational carriers, and third-party reproduction. Whether you’re discerning donor options, exploring co-parenting conversations, or learning how to advocate for yourself within the fertility clinic system, I offer affirming, informed support every step of the way. Beyond fertility care, I work with young adults and LGBTQIA+ individuals through life transitions, identity exploration, self-fulfillment, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My approach is person-centered, affirming, and collaborative, and I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate some of life's most meaningful and complex experiences. At the heart of my work is a genuine commitment to making you feel truly seen. I believe that the most meaningful therapeutic work happens when you feel safe enough to be honest, so I prioritize creating a space that is nonjudgmental, warm, and unhurried from the very first session. Working together, we’ll use collaborative exploration, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and strengths-based techniques to help you reconnect with your values and move through life's most challenging moments with greater clarity. Because no two people – and no two journeys – are exactly alike, my approach is tailored to your unique story, goals, and pace, in an environment that is safe, affirming, and entirely yours. Therapy is your time, which is why I vow to always show up to each session ready to meet you exactly where you are. My path to becoming a therapist began at the St. Louis City Courthouse, where I had the privilege of supporting survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence. That experience showed me, in vivid and lasting terms, how community resources, advocacy, and therapeutic care can genuinely change the course of someone's life. I went on to spend several years in Washington, D.C., working in international development and political advocacy. That work deepened my understanding of how the world's larger systems shape each of us at a profoundly personal level, a perspective I carry into every therapeutic relationship. As a queer person who has navigated complex systems, policies, and family-building pathways in the U.S., I bring both personal and professional insight to this work. I understand that these experiences are not just logistical; they are deeply emotional, and they deserve thoughtful, informed support. When I'm not in session, you'll find me exploring new destinations, experimenting with recipes in the kitchen, or hosting friends around the table. I also enjoy crafting, getting lost in a good book, and keeping up with my Pilates practice.

As a Licensed Graduate Social Worker, I specialize in stress, anxiety, and burnout for adults navigating life transitions and everyday pressures. I am dedicated to helping you uncover the strengths you need to move through life's core stressors with resilience, building the tools that help you show up as your most grounded and authentic self. My areas of focus include stress and anxiety management, and supporting you through the many transitions life brings. I approach every patient with compassion, curiosity, and respect, showing up as a collaborative partner in your healing process. I look forward to helping you build the confidence to navigate life with greater balance and clarity. Healing looks different for everyone, and I believe the most meaningful progress happens when you feel truly seen and supported. My approach is holistic, trauma-informed, and rooted in collaboration, because you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you access the wisdom and strengths already within you. In our work together, I draw on Mindfulness-based and strength-based practices to help you build a steady foundation beneath your feet. Sessions are warm and nonjudgmental, creating the kind of space where honest reflection feels possible. From there, we explore what balance, clarity, and resilience can look like for you specifically — because no two journeys are the same, and your care should reflect that. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own journey of unlearning and relearning how to prioritize my well-being during major life stressors. These experiences sparked a deep passion for helping others reconnect with themselves and reclaim their needs through a mindful, holistic lens. Now, I bring a collaborative spirit to every session, working with you as a true team and moving together toward your growth, healing, and sense of self. Outside the therapy space, I stay active by training for triathlons – swimming, biking, and running. I also love traveling to new destinations and discovering great restaurants along the way.

If you feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed or stuck, if you are frustrated by your family or relationships, or are worn out by disordered eating, my practice may be a good fit for you. My therapy style is collaborative, warm, and nonjudgmental, with room for humor. Together, we will work to improve your symptoms, gain a deeper understanding of your concerns and bring about lasting change. As a former clinician at George Washington University and the University of the District of Columbia, I have extensive experience with students, emerging adults and others navigating life transitions. With experience in global recruitment for the international development industry, I work well with clients who are working to establish or move up within their professional careers, struggle with work/life balance, or are considering a career change. My practice is open and affirming. I welcome clients of all sexualities, gender identities, ethnicities and national origins. My office is conveniently located on Farragut Square, directly above the Farragut West Metro stop (blue/orange/silver), across from Farragut North (Red Line) and walking distance to GWU. I also offer sessions via telehealth/video.

Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to take it alone. As a trauma-focused EMDR therapist, I work with teens, college students, young professionals, adults, parents, and menopausal women who are navigating relational trauma, sexual assault, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and questions of identity. I value honest communication and emotional safety, which help me to be fully present, respectful, and genuinely curious about your experiences. Our work is a collaborative partnership, one that allows me to get to know you deeply, see the patterns shaping your life, and help you make sense of the tapestry you’re weaving. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, compassionate environment to explore and heal, please reach out today. In our work together, you can expect a warm, accepting space where your emotional needs and self-selected objectives guide the process. I prioritize empathy, acceptance, and active listening, while thoughtfully integrating EMDR and trauma-informed Mindfulness to develop skills that help you access a rich emotional life that feels safe, grounded, and led by your core self. Through this relational and empathetic approach, you’ll learn to make meaningful, lasting changes as you move toward a healthier future. My path to becoming a therapist was shaped early on as a parentified child in a dysfunctional home, where I learned to create harmony in difficult circumstances. This experience fostered a natural empathy and flexibility that guide my work today, while strengthening my commitment to offering thoughtful, personalized care that honors each person’s unique story. I bring the fullness of myself into each session, meeting you with compassion, presence, and respect. Outside of the office, I enjoy a creative and active lifestyle. I’m a painter who loves spending time outdoors, whether that’s hiking, walking, or biking, and am also an avid plant enthusiast with more than 50 houseplants. I practice yoga regularly and previously worked as a yoga instructor, which continues to influence how I approach balance and well-being. At home, I share space with two cats and a dog, and value quality time with friends and family. I’m also a mom to four (now adult!) children.

Hopkins Behavioral Health is a therapy practice dedicated to the healing and growth of individuals and couples from all walks of life. We offer compassionate, culturally responsive care that goes beneath the surface to address the deeper roots of pain, disconnection, and harmful patterns. Our goal is to help you reclaim meaning, deepen self-understanding, and move toward personal liberation—so you can live more fully, in alignment with who you truly are.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, health anxiety and phobias, such as fear of needles, vomiting (emetophobia), flying, heights, illness or contamination. I also work with clients in challenging professional and academic environments, who may feel anxious or overwhelmed to the point of avoidance, struggle with self-criticism, or fear they won’t be successful without a punishing level of perfectionism. Many clients find themselves holding back from social situations, dating, public speaking, or professional opportunities due to a fear that something will go wrong, and uncertainty feels intolerable. My approach is warm, collaborative, and highly practical, helping you live a life not constrained by fear. I draw primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—two of the most effective evidence-based treatments for anxiety, OCD, and phobias. I also integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic thinking, and supportive psychotherapy when helpful. Many clients understandably fear facing their worries or phobias. In our work together, you can expect to feel seen, supported and encouraged as we pursue your goals at a pace that feels manageable to you. I hold a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University, and have more than a decade of clinical experience with clients across the lifespan. I am board certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP) in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and have trained in a range of academic medical centers and university clinics, including the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Children’s National Hospital, the Kennedy Krieger Institute, and George Washington University.
