I work with high achievers and professionals who want to set better boundaries, build confidence, and elevate their careers to the next level.

Mandy Thompson
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
I have two areas of focus as a clinician - individual therapy with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and phobias, and parent coaching (including SPACE and PCIT interventions) for the parents of young children through teens.
If you “what if” too much, or wonder if worry is holding you back in your life, career or relationships, we can work together in individual therapy to identify your roadblocks, build specific skills to reduce your anxiety, and finally move forward. If you are a teen or adult looking to overcome your anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD, or a parent who is looking to build or strengthen the happy, connected family life you’ve always wanted, I can partner with you to help.
As a parent or caregiver, you love your child, but may feel that their behaviors sometimes make it difficult for you to “like” them. Perhaps your child’s needs seem to be dominating your life, parenthood is not what you thought it would be, or maybe things seem harder than in the families you see around you. You might feel out of your depth, and wish you had an experienced guide to cut through the parenting books and online advice, saving you and your family time and struggle. As a clinician certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and trained in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), I can help you develop a plan for your family using evidence-based therapies, while providing supportive, positive coaching as you work to bring about change.
Whether in individual psychotherapy or parent coaching, I am here to demystify the therapy process, guide you through options, and craft an individualized therapeutic approach that helps you live a meaningful life on your terms.
I am board certified in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and have extensive training and clinical experience in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, SPACE, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). In addition to being certified in PCIT, I am also a PCIT trainer of other clinicians. As a California transplant and long-time DC resident, I am well versed in the pressure cooker of competitive high school and university settings, as well as supporting individuals in their roles as parents, professionals, and beyond.
I work with clients both in person and via Telehealth and welcome and am actively affirming of all sexualities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds.

Chris Arger
Psychologist, PhD
I take a compassionate non-judgmental approach to therapy, focusing on personalization and helping you find a sense of vitality in your life. When tailoring therapy to your individual needs, I begin by learning about your unique story and understanding your circumstances—emotional, physical, and relational factors. I might use a combination of approaches, depending on your preferences and goals. This integrative approach may draw from various schools of thought—cognitive behavioral, experiential, mindfulness, etc.
