ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in District of Columbia

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.

I work with diverse women who are thoughtful, capable, and exhausted from adapting—to family expectations, cultural norms, demanding roles, chronic health needs, or a world that was not designed for their brain. My areas of focus include early childhood trauma, OCD, grief, neurodivergence, chronic illness, perfectionism, and complex cultural or religious identities.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Maryam Yasmin Therapy & Consulting. My work is grounded in extensive experience with immigrant and refugee communities and in helping people navigate the intersection of identity, relationships, health, and systemic pressures. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed lens that treats your body, identities, relationships, and real-life circumstances as central—not as side notes.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years experience working as a therapist, life coach and pastoral counselor. I have worked with clients having a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, parenting and family problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and disabilities that include psychiatric and physical health issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive.

As a board certified psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, I work with a plethora of inter-generational clients aged 21-90 who are struggling with anxiety and depression and trauma.

As a chaplain, I take a psycho-spiritual approach and work with clients assisting with intercultural issues, blended family dynamics, religiosity challenges and grief & loss.

I am Dr. Marcia Johnson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in mental health care. My background includes work in hospitals, outpatient programs, crisis stabilization, higher education, and private practice. I hold a Ph.D. in Medical & Urban Sociology and an MSW in Mental Health from Howard University.

I specialize in helping clients manage trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use disorders, including co‐occurring conditions. I also welcome clients who wish to integrate their Christian faith and spirituality into therapy, as I believe healing involves the mind, body, and spirit.

Hey there! I'm Alex, a Baltimore-based trauma informed clinician. I have lots of experience in higher education working with talented people who are very hard on themselves. Together, I hope to help you build a life that feels aligned with your values and capacity.
