Therapist

As an Asian, Christian mom of two from Northern VA, with experiences in both big cities and the suburbs, I’ve navigated the challenging expectations stemming from diverse cultural, generational, and societal influences. I’ve learned that being confined by limiting beliefs and labels can create a narrative that leads to distress and isolation. I believe that openness, discipline, and compassion within a safe space foster both acceptance and meaningful change.

Nadine McLeod-Peterkin

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


Many of my clients come to me carrying more than they let on — a child struggling to focus and feeling misunderstood, a parent exhausted from trying to hold everything together, or an adult quietly navigating loss while the world expects them to move on. Whether you're 6 or 76, if life feels heavier than it should, you deserve a space to set it down. For over 15 years, I've had the privilege of walking alongside children, adults, and seniors through anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and the moments that feel impossible to make sense of alone

Therapist

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.

Dr. Joseph Warren, II

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


I believe therapy can transform your beliefs, feelings, and relationships with the right support. It offers deeper self-understanding, stronger relationships, and greater overall well-being; often, the strength and resilience that come from working through pain are the most lasting gifts of the process.

I bring compassion, generosity, hope, humor, and a spiritual perspective to our work together. My goal is to create a space where fear has no room to grow, and sharing feels natural, because seeking therapy is already an act of courage, and I celebrate that in every session.

My approach is built on honesty, self-discovery, empowerment, and accountability. Together, we'll work to shift your perspective and bring more relief and freedom into your life.
