Nicole DeMarco
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you constantly giving to others while quietly carrying anxiety, overthinking, or self-doubt? Do you notice yourself people-pleasing, feeling nervous in relationships, or worrying about letting down the people you care about? On the outside, everything may seem fine, but inside you may long to feel secure, confident, and more like yourself. You don’t have to face this alone. There is a way forward, and we’ll navigate it together, with me supporting you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe trauma-informed space. Using mindfulness and somatic practices, we’ll work to help you feel empowered and more connected to yourself. You’ll leave sessions feeling seen, understood, and equipped with practical tools to care for yourself and deepen your connections with others.
If you are an adult, especially a woman in your 20s or 30s, seeking compassionate individualized support, you are in the right place. Reach out today for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Your path to healing and self discovery starts here.

Lauren Palumbo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Have you ever thought, "I know why I do this... so why do I keep doing it?" Many of my clients have been to therapy before, gained valuable insight, and learned coping skills, yet still find themselves repeating the same emotional and relationship patterns. If you're ready to move beyond understanding yourself intellectually and get to the root of what's keeping you stuck, I'd love to help.

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.

Alexis Cabrera
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LMHC, LPC
I am engaged and alert with my clients. I support your growth while Frustrating your defenses- I work to confront my clients in their blind spots, because (as a New Yorker) I understand that speaking from a place of love may not always mean people-pleasing. But with the warmth of my Californian identity, I work to be fluid and flexible, using somatic interventions to develop and cathart Embodied Trauma. Sometimes the history lives in the present.

Katherine Rabinowitz
Licensed Psychoanalyst, LP, M.A., NCPsyA
If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're anxious or depressed or have problems with relationships, career or something else. Therapy is a safe environment in which to unburden yourself and begin a process of change.
