Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
Practicing as a psychologist over the last 30 years has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I have been privileged to be invited into the lives of individuals and couples who are suffering and help them find their way to peaceful, fulfilling lives and relationships. Having walked the road from abuse, suffering, tragedy, and mental health disorders to healing myself, I feel especially equipped to help others do the same. Knowing that healing oneself and one’s relationships is possible from personal experience, I am passionate about paying forward the lessons and wisdom I was given.

Sarah Epstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sarah is now accepting new virtual and in-person clients for February 2023!
My clients are caregivers who feel anxious, depressed, and utterly burned-out from giving so much of themselves. They often identify as the peacemakers in their families and friend groups. Many lived through childhoods where they were the "mature" child and were expected to be low maintenance. Many of my clients struggle chronically with family relationships. Many struggle to identify and go after what they want professionally and personally. They may struggle to separate their wisehs from what is expected of them or will make them look impressive.
My clients also come in as families wanting to work through long-standing conflict and issues that keep them interacting in predictable, patterned ways.
Finally, I treat trauma and emotional distress using EMDR therapy.

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.
