Shannah Banion
Counselor/Therapist, LPCC-S
Hi, I'm Shannah! I'm a therapist in private practice. I started out working in the addictions field and gained a lot of experience and knowledge on the effects of childhood abuse and trauma. I see family systems and family of origin as an important part of how we see ourselves, the world around us, and how we interact with others. Sometimes we learn coping skills that got us through childhood, but may not be working in adulthood. I enjoy helping others to identify and work though maladaptive coping skills as well as relationship and communication issues.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Clients work best with someone they trust and feel comfortable with. One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I get is how easy it is to talk with me and they appreciate that I'm "real". I believe that a pinch of empathy and a dash of compassion makes the perfect recipe to provide you an accurate reflection needed to do meaningful therapy work.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 20 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 43 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!

My therapeutic style is affirming, collaborative, and warm. I provide a compassionate space to explore your experience, and experiment with what it means to live authentically in a world of conflicting norms/expectations. Together, we will work to make intentional and sustainable changes.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When deciding to see a therapist, it can be extremely challenging to choose someone to work with. I hope to be there with you in therapy as you work to discover new levels self-understanding, compassion, and insight. Most individuals decide to start therapy after encountering emotional distress that has left them overwhelmed, and as though they have lost control of their life. I work collaboratively with my clients to find ways in which they are able to regain a sense of control, empowerment, and purpose in their lives.
Important to our work will be the concept that our relationship, and the exploration of that relationship, will help you make discoveries about other important relationships in your life. Although this work can be challenging at times, it can lead to improvements in your social interactions, mood, and anxiety.
While I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of individuals, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic shame, couples/relationship challenges, and non-traditional relationships. I am currently seeing new clients in my Dupont Circle office, and I look forward to answering any of your questions.
