Hello! My name is Brian. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (DC LICSW, MD LCSW-C) with over nine years of experience supporting individuals in hospitals, outpatient settings, schools, and nonprofit agencies. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and dual master’s degrees in Social Work and Divinity from Andrews University. My work is focused on helping young adults and older adults deal with mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and stress.
I provide a therapy practice that is actively Anti-racist, Queer positive, Trans-affirming, and Sex positive. My priority is creating a space where you can be yourself without explanation or apology. I work with teens and adults, and I specialize in treating trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders/OCD, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders.
My approach is guided by the Greek concept of Filotimo—a deep-seated sense of honor, duty, and care for others. In practice, this means I show up with genuine respect and a commitment to your well-being, focusing on our shared humanity above all else.
Hello, my name is DJ and my pronouns are they/them. I am a professional counselor licensed in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, providing talk therapy and psychedelic integration therapy. I primarily address issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions, often with clients who are LGBTQIAA+, polyamorous/ethically non-monogamous, and/or into kink/BDSM.
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” With over 10 years of clinical experience in psychotherapy, my goal is to help others to find the light. Congratulations on taking the hardest step of the journey with seeking help.
Welcome! I commend you on taking this big step to start working on your healing journey. I am a licensed clinical therapist with a Master’s degree in Social Work and over seven years of experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and with a variety of life experiences and challenges. My professional experience has allowed me to support clients as they navigate emotional, behavioral, relational, and life transitions.
I enjoy utilizing evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I uses CBT to help clients identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thought patterns while developing healthier ways of thinking and responding. Through Motivational Interviewing, I empower clients to identify their strengths, explore their own reasons for change, and take meaningful steps toward their personal goals.
Charmaine is a christian woman that is warm and challenging. Charmaine enjoys getting to know the strength and character of her clients. She is strong yet compassionate and nonjudgmental.
Hi, I’m Shannon! I’m a licensed clinical social worker who genuinely believes that finding the right therapist can make all the difference.
Over the past 13+ years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and families, supporting people through a wide variety of experiences and stages of life. This diverse experience has taught me that everyone’s story is different—and that therapy should be tailored to the person sitting in front of me.
I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist, and I want my clients to feel comfortable being their authentic selves in therapy. You don’t have to have the right words, know exactly what you need, or have everything figured out before starting. We can start wherever you are.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients navigating everything from everyday stress and anxiety to major life transitions, relationships, family challenges, chronic illness, and other difficult or unexpected circumstances. I also bring specialized experience in pediatric hematology/oncology and survivorship, which has given me a unique perspective on the emotional impact that significant life changes can have on individuals and families.
My practice is fully virtual throughout Maryland, allowing me to provide therapy in a way that is comfortable, convenient, and accessible.
Most importantly, I want you to feel like you have a therapist in your corner—someone who will listen, understand, and work alongside you.
