Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel stuck in cycles of disconnection, conflict or emotional distance and are unsure how to repair the bond they once had. Many of the individuals and couples I work with, including LGBTQ+ partners, are navigating betrayal, trauma, attachment injuries, or long standing relational patterns that feel overwhelming or exhausting. I also support individuals whose relationship distress is impacting their mental health, sense of self, or ability to feel secure and connected. My clients are often seeking a deeper sense of emotional safety and connection, and are ready to do the work it takes to heal.
I am an experienced couples therapist who has spent several years working almost exclusively with couples, including LGBTQ+ couples and individuals. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), an evidence-based approach that helps partners understand their attachment needs, identify and break negative cycles, and rebuild emotional connection.
Reaching out for couples or individual therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when things feel tense or uncertain. You don’t have to have all the answers before starting. If you are motivated to better understand your relationship patterns and willing to do the work, therapy can be a powerful place to slow down, reconnect, and create meaningful change together.

Lauren Bradley
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My mission is to bring ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach, where comfort and insight go hand in hand. Clients can look forward to several key benefits from our sessions, including Enhanced Self-Understanding, Coping Strategies, Personal Growth, Increased Emotional Well-being and Insight.
I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout. Together, we’ll work on building the tools and insights you need to achieve greater mental and emotional well-being.
I take a very participatory approach in sessions. While I provide a space for clients to express themselves freely, I also actively engage in the conversation, offering insights, feedback, and guidance. I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to explore challenges, identify solutions, and foster growth.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
My goal is not just to help you to feel better, but to help you understand and change the patterns that were leading to your concerns so that they don't reoccur. I offer a free phone consultation and specialize in treating relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, and the LGBTQ+ community. A guiding philosophy of mine is that our internal narratives have a huge impact on how we feel and how we behave. My goal is to help you figure out where these narratives came from, how they are or are not working for you, and how to adjust them. We can also end sessions with applied goals so that you leave with a clear sense of direction.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Like many of you, the pandemic profoundly impacted the way I live and work. I moved my practice completely online in the face of COVID restrictions and have not returned to in person work. I was impressed with the way that online therapy offered clients many more options for their work with me and I found clients able to keep up with their sessions consistently and reliably with more connection options open to them. Via safe and secure telehealth sessions, I offer parent consultation for kiddos under 10, online therapy with older kids, teens and families and individual therapy for adults, specializing in trauma and trauma focused therapies.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps.
I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, speak your truth, and make real changes.
That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together.
If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
Trauma is profound: it shapes how we organize our experiences, relate to other people, and respond to life's ebbs and flows. It can also leave us feeling stuck and painfully limited. Together we can make sense of your story, identify unconscious patterns that no longer suit you, and create room in your mind to live with greater freedom. If you're looking to effect deep change in your life, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Online therapy offers the same quality care as in-person sessions with added flexibility and accessibility. For many clients, the comfort of their own space makes it easier to open up about difficult topics—things that might feel harder to say face-to-face can sometimes flow more freely from the privacy of home. Whether you're managing a demanding schedule, living in an area without nearby providers, or simply prefer the convenience of teletherapy, our secure video sessions allow you to engage in meaningful therapeutic work from wherever you are. We serve clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York, bringing experienced, affirming care directly to you.
