My name is Dr. Linda Iyebote, a heart-centered Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging and overwhelming seasons. I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, grief, relationship issues, and major life transitions. Many of the individuals I see feel stuck, mentally, emotionally, or both; and are looking for clarity, stability, and a way forward.
Welcome. I am a Clinical Psychologist providing individual psychotherapy remotely to people college-aged through adulthood. I am licensed in Washington DC (PSY200001470) and Maryland (06695).
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and sense of wholeness in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’ve been practicing for over 30 years with individuals and families, but in the last 2 decades, my main focus has been working with persons recovering or still struggling with drugs and/or alcohol abuse. Those who are struggling with anxiety and depression and feelings of failure.
I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.
I am a licensed professional counselor with over 10 years experience working as a therapist, life coach and pastoral counselor. I have worked with clients having a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues, parenting and family problems, career challenges, trauma, abuse and disabilities that include psychiatric and physical health issues. My therapy style is warm and interactive.
I believe that therapy is a step up for one's life.
I admire people who want to make a positive change in their lives. I meet people where they are in their lives. I work on positive, realistic goals with my clients.

I am Dr. Patrick Fisher, a licensed and nationally certified counselor with over 20 years of experience in counseling psychology, leadership, and clinical practice. I provide experienced, high-level therapeutic support for individuals and families across the lifespan.
I specialize in working with clients on issues from all aspects of life with expertise in Anxiety, Depression, and Stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Healing from Trauma and Crisis, Adolescents and Family Support, and Spiritual and Ethical Values.
I firmly believe that we hold the tools and answers we need to be our best selves. I will not only be asking how you are from week to week, I will be helping to make connections between seemingly unrelated things, and helping you get closer and closer to your therapy goals.
