Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in District of Columbia

As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide clients with unwavering support and understanding to help them make meaningful progress toward achieving their goals. Through empathetic listening, reflection, and feedback, I help gain insights into experiences and develop a deeper understanding of oneself.

I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. We all carry things with us—our histories, relationships, expectations, losses, responsibilities, and the stories we’ve learned to tell about ourselves. Sometimes the things we’ve learned to carry help us move through life; other times, they become heavier than we realized. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what you’re carrying, and decide what you want to keep, what you might be ready to set down, and what you may need help carrying.

You don’t need to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start wherever you are and work from there. My role isn’t to tell you what you should do, but to help you understand yourself more clearly, make sense of the patterns that keep showing up, and find a way forward that feels genuinely like your own.

I have extensive training in internal family systems (IFS), psychodynamic/relational models, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I am currently working toward specialization in reproductive mental health and love to work with individuals anywhere along the reproductive lifecycle.

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 believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.

Hi there! I have been a therapist for about 25 years (MSW- Western Michigan University). I feel grateful to have such meaningful work and honored to walk alongside such a variety of people on their journeys. My clients have described me as irreverent, honest, and caring.

Many folks come to therapy in times of crisis and others come because they are looking for a neutral place to talk and process a wide range of life experiences including trauma, anxiety/depression, substance concerns, and relationship issues.

In my non-work hours you'd find me spending time with my elementary age kiddo and our dog, listening to live music, swimming in Lake Michigan, or finishing up a good jigsaw puzzle!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience supporting children, adults, and families navigating complex and often overwhelming life circumstances. My professional background includes work in child welfare, domestic violence services, and with families raising children or caring for loved ones with disabilities. These experiences have shaped my deep respect for resilience and my commitment to providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive care.

I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths.

I integrate evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems approaches—with a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family conflict, grief, identity transitions, and the effects of trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting people from diverse cultural and family backgrounds who are balancing multiple roles, expectations, and life transitions.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, down-to-earth, and empowering. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering your resilience, improving communication and connection, and finding practical strategies for growth and healing—so you can live with greater confidence, balance, and purpose.

Are you a military spouse, new parent, or adult navigating trauma or anxiety? As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston College, I provide specialized, trauma-informed therapy for adults across Maryland.

My clinical practice focuses on trauma and C-PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, and major life transitions. Drawing from lived experience, I offer expert care tailored to two key populations:

• Military Families: Navigating deployments, frequent PCS moves, and military lifestyle dynamics.
• Perinatal & Postpartum Care: Supporting parents through early parenthood transitions, maternal mental health, re-parenting work, and emotional resilience.
