We are a small private practice of specially trained trauma therapists.

We also offer IASIS Microcurrent Neurofeedback.  

Hi, I'm Meg! I help capable, driven people pause, untangle what’s been weighing them down, and find their way back to a version of themselves that feels clearer, lighter, and more grounded. Many of my clients look "fine" on the outside but may be dealing with overwhelming and anxious feelings they aren't quite sure how to navigate. With over three decades of experience in counseling, I bring my humor, positive attitude, and clinical experience to encourage clients to embrace their struggles, understand their patterns, and shift their mindsets.  

LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD! I'm here to help custom-tailor a strategy for making this declaration a reality for YOU. Problems with communication? Suffering from anxiety or depression? Is a loss keeping you stuck? Do you have a history of abuse/trauma? I can help.  

I specialize in relationship issues, trauma, and spiritual and religious concerns. I help clients get to the root of their challenges and work to resolve them. I work with individuals ages 10 and older, couples, and families.  

I believe that therapy provides a unique opportunity to explore and understand yourself in a way that is empowering and transformative. It’s easy to get caught up in the same routines and patterns you’ve always known, including those that don’t work for you anymore. Creating a space to delve into those patterns, explore your feelings, and experiment with new ways of being with yourself and others can be a meaningful catalyst for change.  

Our practice is grounded in a deep appreciation for the diverse experiences that shape each person’s life. Our founder grew up in Jamaica, Queens, surrounded and supported by three generations of remarkable women—an experience that continues to inform the values of care, resilience, and community that guide our work today. Across our practice, we have the privilege of supporting individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, gender identities, and socioeconomic experiences, each bringing their own unique perspectives and concerns. As a practice founded by a Black, queer, first-generation college graduate, we hold a strong awareness of how power, privilege, and systemic forces shape daily life and mental health. We also recognize the vulnerability it takes to seek therapy. Our work is informed not only by clinical expertise, but by a deep respect for the courage and commitment involved in pursuing healing and meaningful change. This perspective shapes our intention to create a space that is thoughtful, affirming, and responsive to the full complexity of our clients’ lived experiences.  

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily stress, anxious thoughts, or reminders of your traumatic memories? Struggling with anger or relationship conflict? Feeling stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors? Life's struggles can feel isolating but you don't have to face them alone. It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey. I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture. Other areas of specialty include anxiety, phobias, panic, depression, insomnia, and addiction. I work with teens and adults, as well as the spouses, partners and family members of those struggling. I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers. Whether you've been in therapy before or are ready to take the very first step towards healing and growth, I would love to hear from you.  

As a Millennial or Gen Z woman, you may be grappling with questions about your identity and the meaning of life. Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or navigating through major life changes such as graduating from college, starting a new job, or embarking on a new relationship. You may have also received a recent ADHD diagnosis, and it turns out that all those years of suffering from irritability, poor concentration, low self-esteem, and indecision weren't just depression. Whether anxiety, life transitions, ADHD, depression, or all of the above are getting in the way of you feeling healthy, empowered, and resilient, therapy can help you live a more balanced life.  

At Platinum Coast Counseling, PLLC, our therapy practice stands out for its warm, welcoming approach and dedication to your emotional well-being. Clients consistently share that I am friendly, easy to talk to, and create a safe space where they feel comfortable processing even the most challenging thoughts and feelings. If you’re seeking a compassionate therapist who truly listens and supports you through life’s difficulties, I invite you to reach out. Let’s work together in a secure, virtual environment to help you achieve personal growth and lasting change.  

I bring my real-life experience into my work as a therapist. I’m a mom, a military spouse, and someone who understands anxiety—including postpartum anxiety—not just clinically, but personally. I’ve spent years working with children with special needs and their families, which has deeply shaped how I view emotional health, caregiving, and resilience. I believe therapy works best when evidence-based tools are paired with compassion, emotional depth, and practicality. My goal is to help you understand the root of what you’re experiencing—not just manage surface level symptoms—so visible, lasting change can happen. I’m especially passionate about working with parents and caregivers, because when adults take care of themselves and their relationships, the impact on children is beautiful and significant. If you’re looking for therapy that feels genuine and grounded in real life, I’d love to help you.  

Therapy is a chance to open yourself up to new ways of experiencing your life in order to get greater satisfaction from it. If you're struggling with worries, relationship boundaries, sadness, or overwhelm, I would like to help. Give me a call or drop me an email so we can talk about your situation.  

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, who cares deeply about the needs and concerns of my clients, I will go above and beyond in helping facilitate any changes you see fit for yourself and your family. I know that change, in general, can be very difficult, especially when you feel like you are doing it alone. I would love to be there for you, in your process of change, and help to guide and support you along the way. It is my goal to provide a therapeutic environment that is non-judgmental, safe, inviting, and warm, so that you can feel comfortable from the moment you first walk in and throughout your entire process.  

I have a 95% success rate in releasing anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, sleep challenges, over consumption of alcohol, ADHD, grief, non-drug related addictions, and relationship challenges. My sessions include a powerful releasing process that reduces negative thinking, and therefore disables the continual re-imprinting and magnification of past painful experiences.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Somatic approaches, we'll get underneath the surface of what's keeping you stuck and work toward something that actually feels different. If you're ready, reach out.  

I serve individuals and couples in the Dupont Circle and Downtown Washington, DC, area, including the locally-based international community, helping people to find and/or reconnect with what gives life meaning and fulfillment.  

Carrying anxiety, holding back your voice, or tending to everyone else’s needs can feel deeply lonely. If you’re stretched thin or unsure of your next step, I want you to know that you don’t have to keep doing this by yourself. With over 30 years as a psychotherapist specializing in EFT, somatic work, anxiety, and trauma, I’ve supported countless women right at this crossroads. I’ve seen how healing becomes possible when the body is included in the conversation and the nervous system finally has room to unwind. Together, we’ll create a therapeutic space filled with warmth, honesty, and grounded support. Using body-based tools and compassionate guidance, I’ll help you feel safe enough to explore what’s underneath—and empowered to build the life you’ve been longing for.  

I offer a therapy experience that goes beyond just talking about problems. My work is collaborative, experiential, and rooted in the belief that every client already has the wisdom they are craving within them. I specialize in Internal Family Systems and bring both clinical and personal experience to the work I do with attachment trauma, neurodivergence (ADHD & Autism), and anxiety. I also provide compassionate, affirming care for LGBTQ+ and trans clients and I'm deeply committed to creating a space where all parts of you feel welcome.

My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addictions and relational challenges so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrative and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, CBT, Somatic, KAP and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.

As the Founder & President of two award-winning mental health centers with a staff 150, I've gained a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to care.  

Most of us therapists and counselors get into the field because we ourselves have suffered from mental and emotional challenges and life struggles. We want to learn from our experiences and give back to the community, to effectively help in some way. To contribute and create a sense of certainty. We are a small group of experienced licensed therapists who are passionate in making a difference and create hope, happiness, and peace of mind.
