Mandy Thompson
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
I have two areas of focus as a clinician - individual therapy with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and phobias, and parent coaching (including SPACE and PCIT interventions) for the parents of young children through teens.
If you “what if” too much, or wonder if worry is holding you back in your life, career or relationships, we can work together in individual therapy to identify your roadblocks, build specific skills to reduce your anxiety, and finally move forward. If you are a teen or adult looking to overcome your anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD, or a parent who is looking to build or strengthen the happy, connected family life you’ve always wanted, I can partner with you to help.
As a parent or caregiver, you love your child, but may feel that their behaviors sometimes make it difficult for you to “like” them. Perhaps your child’s needs seem to be dominating your life, parenthood is not what you thought it would be, or maybe things seem harder than in the families you see around you. You might feel out of your depth, and wish you had an experienced guide to cut through the parenting books and online advice, saving you and your family time and struggle. As a clinician certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and trained in Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), I can help you develop a plan for your family using evidence-based therapies, while providing supportive, positive coaching as you work to bring about change.
Whether in individual psychotherapy or parent coaching, I am here to demystify the therapy process, guide you through options, and craft an individualized therapeutic approach that helps you live a meaningful life on your terms.
I am board certified in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, and have extensive training and clinical experience in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness, SPACE, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). In addition to being certified in PCIT, I am also a PCIT trainer of other clinicians. As a California transplant and long-time DC resident, I am well versed in the pressure cooker of competitive high school and university settings, as well as supporting individuals in their roles as parents, professionals, and beyond.
I work with clients both in person and via Telehealth and welcome and am actively affirming of all sexualities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds.

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, who’ve experienced painful past experiences in family and relationships, issues related to identity, traumatic experiences, career and work issues, anxiety and depression, relationship experiences among monogamous, poly/ENM/CNM people, LGBTQIA+ clients. 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.

Sara Owen
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When life feels heavy—whether from long-standing struggles or new challenges—change is possible. My work focuses on helping clients gain insight, develop practical tools, and build confidence to move forward. Using evidence-based approaches, I tailor therapy to your goals so we can address what feels unmanageable while creating a life that feels more intentional and aligned.
I work with adults navigating relationship challenges, people-pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety, and life transitions. I strive to provide a calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore openly and make lasting change.
In addition to individual therapy, I work with couples who feel disconnected or stuck in recurring conflicts. Together, we focus on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and strengthening emotional connection to restore balance and closeness.
