Patricia Tuohy
Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
Hello and thank you for visiting my page!
I am so happy you decided to take the most difficult step and reach out for support! I wish more people realized that they didn’t have to continue to live day to day struggling to make it through. People usually come to me because they are experiencing anxiety, panic, sleeplessness, depression and perhaps other symptoms like flashbacks or nightmares. Their relationships are suffering and they are having a difficult time functioning at home and work. Most times, they have been feeling this way for so long that they can’t imagine a life of feeling peaceful, calm and happy.
What would it be like to wake up and feel good? To have energy, be able to get a good restorative nights sleep and feel emotionally stable and well? What would it be like to not constantly be triggered and have knee jerk emotional reactions that you may or may not understand? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to focus on the things that matter most in life and the reason you are really here on this earth?

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.

Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
My passion is to help people going through difficult life transitions. Many events in life can affect our stability; divorce, retirement, grief and loss, illness, accidents, losing your job, or living through a pandemic. Sometimes it's even hard to know why we feel how we feel. I help individuals, and also couples, overcome these difficulties.
