Dr. Rashida Clegg

Therapist

Virtual • Washington, DC


At MyTherapist DC you will receive a free consultation to provide increased knowledge of therapist, build therapeutic rapport, and enhance a joint understanding of the treatment goals. Together we will explore your strengths to overcome your challenges. Every session begins with a reminder of your treatment goals, weekly update, review of last week's homework, processing current symptoms and learning a new intervention, summary of the session, and new homework. I use current events, research based data, assessments, guided meditation, and etc. to track progress from one week to the next week. My clients have expressed that the most enjoyable aspect of therapy is the connecting of meaningful childhood experience to the current self.

As a licensed clinical psychologist since 2000 I have worked primarily with adolescents and adults living with HIV and other chronic health conditions in the US, Asia, and Africa. I also work with young adults who struggle with navigating identities based on race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation. My clinical approach is shaped by my research and teaching at Howard University, DC where I serve as faculty in the Department of Psychology. I care deeply about what the science says - but even more about how it plays out in everyday life.
