Hi there! I am Dr. Godwin Oshegbo. I'm glad you stopped by our website and this forum to learn about me and our services.
I am a licensed clinical professional in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. In addition, I am a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor (LCADC) in Maryland, and a national certified counselor (NCC). I have over 20 years of professional and clinical work experience. I have extensive experience working in different clinical settings over the years. I have experience in helping individuals with substance use issues and disorders, anxiety, family conflicts, bipolar disorder, & depression, including issues of faith and spirituality in wellness.
I believe therapy and growth starts with the relationship client and therapist. I'm here for clients when life is going to life. Many of the tools and strategies I use with clients are ones I've successful used and practice in my own journey in therapy. I practice a lot of grace, patience and empathy and respect where clients want to go and the pace they want to grow. I use a combination of a lot of fancy therapy acronyms with clients from DBT, IFS and CBT. I specialize in substance abuse disorder, anxiety, depression and working with teens and young adults.
With over twenty-seven years of diverse nursing experience, particularly in Emergency Room and Mental Health settings, such as St. Elizabeth Hospital, Providence Hospital, and the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. These positions have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of both clinical excellence and operational efficiency.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Washington, DC
Searching for therapists in Washington, DC starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist is trained for it. DC has a wide range of therapists across neighborhoods like Georgetown, Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and Capitol Hill, with specialties that may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare Washington, DC therapists, look for profiles that name the concerns you want to address and explain the therapist’s approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other forms of talk therapy.
In a major metro area like Washington, the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Practical fit matters, too. Consider whether you prefer an office near work, home, transit, or a virtual appointment that fits your schedule. You can also compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions, communicates, and works with people who have similar needs.
Therapy in Washington, DC can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept your insurance, and offer clear next steps. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
