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.

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.

Iam Jophiel, MPS, LCSW, SEP, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Rubie Red Slippers
As a Liberation Therapist, helping you in achieving the freedom to be fully accepting of yourSelf is my passion. I combine cognitive, somatic & energy-based services, to provide a balanced therapeutic approach to assisting you with mental, emotional and physical challenges that can present as anxiety, fear-based thinking, over-analyzing, self-criticalness, depression, codependency, low self-esteem and other trauma-based symptoms.
At times, the process of slowing down can feel scary, but as you learn to identify beliefs & narratives that no longer serve you; compassionately recondition your mind; and tenderly care for your body you will notice a change. You can know your authentic Self and experience embodied healing.
The healing journey is a soul driven (mind, body and spirit) heart-centered process that continually invites you to know yourself as magical, allowing, resilient, fertile, integrative, safe and loved.

Heidi Lindeman Self Grounded Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, M.Div., M.A., LPC
You're a spiritual human looking to end the loneliness that has been growing since the pandemic began. In your loneliness there's no one there to help you with the intense feelings you experience. You often worry about the future. You question if you will ever be able to have a happy life. You have been doing everything "right" and yet you feel lost, lonely and sad. When your feelings are intense all you want is a friend to listen to you, validate you, tell you it's all gonna be okay. When you've shared your authentic feelings in the past it's a crap shoot if someone will be able to hear you. You've often felt like you are too much and you shouldn't feel so many things or there's something wrong with you for having so many feelings. You're aware that logically feelings are important and you're not wrong for having them. But the feeling that you are bad and not worthy are hard to shake. The feelings you've had all your life have intensified with COVID and there's less support now. You feel alone in everything going on. You have a deep desire to authentically belong but just aren't sure how you can maintain relationships if you are your true self. In therapy we work together to gain a deep understanding of your emotions and where they came from. Then we notice what's yours and what's someone else's. Through deeply understanding yourself you begin to feel cared for, supported, loved and feel deeper that you do matter. Together we work to help you feel confident and grounded in yourself so you can more easily navigate relationships. I'm going to let you in on a little secret, when you turn inward and care for the lonely part of yourself you will find your external relationship become better (and if they don't you have more clarity on what you can or will not accept in a relationship and can set purposeful and clear boundaries without necessarily having to cut whole people out of your life). Together we can help you create an authentic life of belonging. Take your first step on your journey now by going to my website and clicking the "schedule a free 20 min consultation" button to have a chat with me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
