ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in District of Columbia

When was the last time you felt truly heard? Life can feel as though you're stuck in a maze without a map or sense of purpose. You may feel broken, alone, or depressed, but you're not. I've successfully helped clients work through challenges, learn effective coping skills, and view life in a realistic, positive way. I've helped clients with chronic illness maximize their quality of life. We'll set up a plan that meets your current needs, then empower you to reach your goals, together.

Do you feel ready for change but unsure where to begin? I’m Keisha, and with over 20 years of experience in the field of mental health and psychotherapy, I specialize in supporting individuals through life’s toughest challenges. Whether it’s managing the stress of career and family, healing from past trauma, navigating toxic relationships, or overcoming anxiety and grief, my goal is to help you move from surviving to thriving.

I have experience working with clients who have experienced troubled childhood. I work to unpack early experiences and rebuild. I create a safe space for clients to feel comfortable and share their experiences.

Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, uncertain, down, and even overwhelmed in their lives. Trying to manage relationships, family, careers, and life responsibilities can lead to pushing away your own needs or putting them at the bottom of the to-do list. Maybe you feel stuck at work, are grieving past losses, or struggle within relationships. Each person ‘s suffering is unique, and therapy should be guided by their individual needs. Whether you are hoping to solve a specific problem by meeting a few times or seeking to address long-standing injuries or vulnerabilities, I will work compassionately and practically to find ways to create paths to relief and develop a deeper understanding of what is troubling you or getting in the way of your endeavors and desires. I am a clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and parents, for therapy, consultation, and life coaching. My primary interests include couples therapy, anxiety, ADHD, cognitive and memory difficulties, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, women’s/men’s issues, and culturally sensitive counseling.

Hi, I’m Joanna Fils-Aime, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker & therapist based in Washington, D.C. For over 10 years, I’ve supported teens and women from diverse backgrounds, especially those navigating complex trauma, relationship wounds, identity issues, anxiety, depression, and the pressure of showing up while feeling overwhelmed or exhausted.

Therapy with me is a partnership built on honest conversations, practical tools, and steady support as you do the work of healing and growth at your own pace.

You should know that I love what I do and that I've worked with many different kinds of individuals. From clients in crises, severely mentally ill, to clients that are navigating the relationships with their loved ones.
