Psychoanalytic
Sandra Lashley
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst in private practice for the past 20 years. I obtained my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2006 from Loyola University, Maryland and completed my internship training at John's Hopkins University Counseling Center. My style is collaborative, supportive and highly personalized to each individual. My training has been in a psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic and generalist model which means an emphasis on understanding you as a person and our looking at the process of understanding your unique mind together and the ways you are currently suffering. The ultimate goal is always growth, alleviation of suffering and a greater sense of emotional and psychological freedom.

Dr. Brian Sharpless
Psychologist, Ph.D., Clinical Psychology; M.A., Philosophy
Hi! I am a clinical psychologist (PhD) trained at Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. Though I treat a number of conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression, trauma), I have a great deal of experience helping people with personality disorders, sleep disorders, rare/unusual psychological conditions, and clinical problems which have been formerly resistant to treatment. Along with my practice, I stay active in the field through research, publications (i.e., books and articles), and other professional work. I particularly enjoy living lectures for popular science organizations in the US and abroad. Please visit my website (linked below) for more information.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating complex emotions, identity questions, or past trauma. I'm Joseph LaFleur, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the clinical director of District Counseling and Psychotherapy, serving clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.
**My Approach**
I specialize in helping men who often feel pressure to "have it together" find space to process what's really going on beneath the surface. Many of my clients come to me after years of pushing through—only to realize that approach isn't sustainable. Whether you're working through relationship challenges, career stress, depression, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma, I offer a grounded, direct therapeutic style that respects your time and intelligence.
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I work extensively with gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating identity, relationships, and the unique stressors that come with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. My practice is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
**Specialized Training**
Beyond traditional talk therapy, I'm trained in Somatic Experiencing (SEP), which addresses how trauma lives in the body—not just the mind. For clients interested in emerging treatments, I'm also a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider (CPTAP), offering psychedelic integration therapy to help you make meaning from transformative experiences with ketamine, psilocybin, or other medicines.
**What to Expect**
I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative and practical. You won't find endless reflection without direction here. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build concrete strategies for lasting change—while honoring the deeper emotional work that real transformation requires.
If you're ready to invest in yourself, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.

Dr. Daniel Cantor
Psychologist, Psy. D.
I provide online therapy centered on personal growth and fulfillment. Recognizing that life's difficulties often prompt the search for a therapist, our work will address these immediate concerns while exploring the broader path to a meaningful life, uniquely defined by you. My approach integrates relational psychoanalysis, integral philosophy, and Eastern wisdom traditions, emphasizing mindfulness and compassion. I prioritize the present moment within our therapeutic relationship, using this focus as a means for reflection, insight, and transformation as we collaboratively create a space to understand the significant particular and universal experiences of your life.

Psychoanalytic
Dr. Sarah Pouliot
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Psychotherapy is most effective when two people (therapist and client) work together to develop a type of therapeutic relationship that not only seeks to make sense of unfolding dynamics but also provides a safe place from which to explore both the known and unknown. In other words, psychotherapy or counseling should offer a meaningful experience, offering new ways of being, relating, and experiencing. Lasting change becomes possible when we are able to find and apply new ways of thinking and feeling about ourselves and others - new ways of relating or responding to the world in which we live and engage.
