Riesa Minakan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Happiness is something you deserve and is attainable! Being a therapist is my calling and I have spent most of my life helping people find their best selves. The reality is that it is within your reach. I have found that the human mind can be a negative space if not examined. We form false beliefs and lies about ourselves based off of our of family and or origin life experiences. If we don't actively look at what were saying to ourselves we can be our own worst enemy. Make today the day you stop treating yourself "less than". If we believe were not worth it then we will live a life that reflects that. That is not your purpose in life. I can help you find that person and purpose that your soul yearns for. I am not your typical therapist in that I will share that I have walked this walk. I find this powerful in treatment in that it provides me with insight, compassion and connection with the people I work with. The connection we develop is sacred and the work is an honor for me to be a part of. Quite honestly, if you are ready for change and willing to do the work I can help you get there.

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.
