Dan Walinsky
Psychologist, PhD
Thanks for stopping to look at my page! I am a licensed psychologist who loves to work with clients who are working through life changes, issues related to identity, career and work issues, anxiety and depression, relationship experiences among monogamous, poly/ENM/CNM people, LGBTQIA+ clients, and more. For both those who are new to therapy, and those who've had lots of experience, I try to build a supportive, respectful, and compassionate environment where we have the opportunity to explore solutions to problems as they uniquely impact your life.

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.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.

Bill Hoekstra
Psychologist, Psy.D., LP DBSM
Sleep troubles and emotional challenges can be overwhelming. Getting the right help shouldn't add to your stress. I am passionate about improving sleep and mood for my clients! I'm a board-certified diplomate specializing in sleep disorders. I also specialize in the treatment of psychological trauma, anxiety, depression, and personality issues.
For sleep issues, I focus on evidence-based approaches, including CBT-I, a gold-standard therapy that effectively addresses insomnia, nightmares, and sleep routine disruptions.
For trauma, anxiety, and depression, I offer effective treatments such as:
CBT: This well-established therapy provides valuable skills for managing negative thoughts and behaviors.
A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy): This evidence-based approach helps process and resolve troubling experiences efficiently.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): This therapy can help alleviate the emotional impact of trauma or other distressful events.
Together, we can build a personalized plan to address your concerns and empower you to move towards a healthier, happier life. Contact me today for a free consultation and let's discuss how I can help you achieve your goals. I can help you find relief and move towards a healthier, happier life!
