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.

I implement a strengths-based perspective methodology. This means I take a holistic and individualistic approach by working through your personal history, environment, lifestyle, and spirituality. Your past is not indicative of your future. Everyone has a personal story that needs to be heard; therefore, I hope to build a partnership that's rooted in a judgment-free environment.

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


Hi! I'm Ana Brown, a Licensed Therapist and the owner of Grace Out Loud Therapy Services. I believe that people are stories to be understood, not problems to be fixed. My goal is to create a space where you can show up honestly, feel heard, and begin making meaningful changes at a pace that feels manageable.

I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief and loss, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have experience supporting individuals and couples who feel stuck in unhealthy patterns and want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and strengthen their relationships.
