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.

Stacy Koch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have over 20 years in the mental health field. I understand what it takes to establish a trusting relationship. I know what it takes to support and guide one through transformational change in the therapy process. I am here to help you find hope, relief, and a reduction in symtoms. I know therapy works because I have done the work myself. Even when you are feeling your darkest thoughts know there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Lauren Michelle Lee
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
My passion lies in building a safe and collaborative space where we can work together to overcome life’s obstacles. I am passionate about working with members from all communities - including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. I take a social justice approach to my work, while utilizing a variety of techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a Person-Centered Positive approach, incorporation of mind/body connection, meditation, and creating healthy life balance.
Together, we will collaborate to identify what work best for you. I prioritize genuineness and authenticity in my sessions to provide you with the best support for your specific issues - whether that is a space to listen or concrete coping skills to take with you outside of session
