Dr. Aaliyah Gibbons
Psychologist, PsyD
Have you ever been told you’re “too much”—too emotional, too sensitive, too intense? Maybe you’ve learned to hide parts of yourself just to get by. Trauma in all its forms can leave you feeling unsafe and ashamed of who you are. At Ancora’s Way, you don’t have to hold back. No feeling is too big, no story too heavy. Therapy here is about creating safety, healing shame, and building a life rooted in honesty and hope.

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
In my practice, I focus on supporting folks who have felt silenced or without a voice, including women, the trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive community, and the queer/LGBTQ+ community. I also specialize in college and graduate student mental health, as I worked in university counseling centers for over a decade prior to opening my private practice. My passion is helping you to find your voice, set healthy boundaries, and explore your authentic self so that you can build the most expansive, most meaningful life possible!

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I'm a psychologist with expertise in working with anxiety, depression, dissociation, and the full range of traumatic experiences and specialize in supporting clients who feel that therapy isn't for them. In working with me you can expect a high level of collaboration, dedication to your success, and lots of nerdy metaphors. I draw from interpersonal neurobiology, developmental psychology, and attachment theory to make evidence-based therapy models less generic and more useful for your specific situation.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Hi there! I'm John, a Resident in Counseling hailing from the beautiful state of Virginia. My professional journey is fueled by a special interest in tackling LGBTQIA+ issues, relational conflicts, life transitions, and more. I firmly believe in creating a safe haven for clients to explore their concerns, and I integrate various therapeutic modalities like trauma-informed, client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my practice.
Armed with Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic and Legal Psychology from Marymount University, I'm an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, an international counseling academic honor society.
Before joining CCG, I honed my skills at a DC community health center, where I had the privilege of working closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with chronic conditions. My experiences ranged from navigating complex trauma to supporting clients through discrimination, chronic illness, and the nuances of the coming out process.
Beyond the counseling realm, you'll find me savoring the joys of cooking, exploring new destinations, delving into a good book, and relishing quality time with friends and family.

Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I know that starting therapy is a huge step in your life, and choosing a therapist is an important, and often tough, decision. This can be a daunting process, and I hope to put you at ease. A therapist-patient relationship is a very unique and special one, and you are trusting me with information about your personal life, thoughts, and feelings. I take that very seriously. It can take time to build that sense of trust. My top priority is that we take the time to make a genuine connection so that you feel safe, respected, understood, and supported in your sessions with me. I believe that is the foundation of truly good therapy and is necessary for growth, change, and progress. I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years, and I have gained a lot of experience and expertise treating many types of physical and mental health problems. I’m really proud of that, but my proudest, most treasured moments have been when my patients express feeling truly understood and cared about during our work together, and when we can celebrate their successes together. I’m confident that my empathy and passion for being a psychologist and helping people through their most difficult life circumstances will come across to you, too. Whatever you are going through, I’m with you, and you can feel assured that you are in good hands.
