Emmie Mai
Therapist, LPC-A, PMH-C
You strive to be the best, the best partner, the best parent, the best at the office, but you always feel like you fall short. Will life always be like this? Chaotic. Exhausting. Endless to-do lists. Despite your best efforts, there never seems to be enough time in the day. After caring for so many others in your life, you struggle to care for yourself. You're constantly running on empty. Although you recognize the patterns in your life you don't want to repeat, you can't seem to stop the cycle. In the past, you've tried to make changes on your own, but nothing works long-term. You're stuck and not sure what to do next.

Robert Lewis Bozard
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, MDiv, LCMHC, LPC
Helping Men is the specialized focus of my practice, and I also see couples. Anxiety, relationships, sexual issues, depression, life transitions, porn/gaming/sexual addictions, young adults, anger, and infidelity are some of the concerns I frequently help clients to navigate. Men can sometimes feel awkward about seeking help, or feel that therapy isn't for them. I provide a nonjudgmental space to talk things out and work toward a better experience of life. I previously practiced in university-affiliated counseling centers and continue to enjoy working with students and young adults. For couples I practice the highly-researched Gottman Method, a proven approach to improving relationship quality and satisfaction.

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.
