Internal Family Systems
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.

Ema Grant
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS LPC
Now accepting new clients! I specialize in addressing men's mental health, adjustment to change, grief, and trauma. In therapy, you can expect to not only talk about the things that you're struggling with, but also be given useful tools and skills to reduce life’s challenges. You'll find a space where you can be honest and unfiltered, and be met with acceptance and support. You'll sometimes be challenged on your blind spots or encouraged to stretch your comfort zone. You'll find that you get to know and like yourself better and feel more equipped to build a life of meaning and purpose.
I have unique experience working with the relational, emotional, and cultural issues faced by men. I also have specific training in treating trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and life transitions with skills gained from training in DBT, IFS, Relational Life Therapy, and trauma-informed theory. Starting therapy is hard and sometimes scary. I am glad you are starting to give yourself the care you need. It’s time to set down the bricks of the past and build a more fulfilling life and future. I hope to be a partner with you as you develop skills to become fearlessly authentic, resilient, and hopeful.

Samantha Kingma
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Feeling like you can never catch up, even though you never sit down? Lying awake at night thinking through all the things you said that day that were ‘awkward’ or ‘wrong’? Running late to everything even though you try your absolute best to be on time? Maybe something just feels off, but you can’t quite put your finger on what it is - maybe you even say to yourself “this shouldn’t be this big of a deal”. And yet something is still keeping you stuck. Anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, and burnout can significantly impact the way your brain handles the stresses of day-to-day life. But there is hope – you don’t have to stay stuck. It is possible to feel like yourself again, and I'd love to talk to you about how you can get there. I provide specialized support for individuals and couples dealing with anxiety, OCD, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this difficulty alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Susan Spicer
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in EMDR therapy to help individuals heal from trauma and narcissistic abuse, and to return to a place of self-love and emotional balance. Experiences of childhood physical, emotional or sexual abuse can remain stuck in the body, as can instances of narcissistic abuse. These have the potential to contribute to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and hypervigilance as well as problems successfully navigating relationships and managing daily living. I utilize EMDR therapy to change the way these negative memories are stored in the brain, and help you achieve a place of resolution and peace. As a neuropsychologist, I can help you condition your thoughts and rewire your brain for happiness and success.

Jennifer Sander
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CCTP, CCFP
My practice focuses on meeting the needs of individuals who (a) have difficulty managing the toll of a significant medical condition (cancer, chronic pain, HIV/AIDs, etc.) that impacts quality of life, and (b) individuals who are in helping roles and faced with burnout, compassion fatigue, and/or vicarious trauma. I create a safe place allowing you the ability to explore options that fit your values and goals. Each person's unique perspective and experience is honored in a nonjudgmental and compassionate space. As a medical patient and helping professional myself, I've found this approach most effective when I've been in similar shoes. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based, culturally competent, ethical services to the community. If you're interested in talking further to see if this can be a good fit, please feel free outreach. You are not alone!
