Dr. Benita Thornhill
Licensed Professional Counselor, PsyD, LPC, E-RYT500
I am dedicated to providing compassionate psychotherapy to individuals and couples navigating life’s challenges. I create a warm and understanding environment where clients can feel supported while working to overcome obstacles that prevent them from reaching their goals and dreams.
I am trained in EMDR, DBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy Levels 1 and Level 2, and a Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work Leader. I hold certifications in trauma and sex therapy. Additionally, I am an experienced 500hr Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500).
I strive to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate their healing journey.
I firmly believe that you don't have to face life's challenges alone. Together, we can work to find the clarity and solutions needed to live a more satisfying and intentional life. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to schedule your session today.

Hilker Marriage and Family Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Like Ted Lasso, if you and/or your spouse tend to approach therapy with “general apprehension and a modest Midwestern skepticism,” here’s something that may be helpful to know as you consider choosing to work with me: My overarching goal in therapy is to create a safe space for self-and relationship care and healing. And we do that together, on your timeline.

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.
