Dr. Jillian Neill
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
Growth and change are hard for everyone. They are even harder if we do not have the insight and the tools to help us navigate them. My goal as a therapist is to help you live the life you want to be leading: a life aligned with your values and focused on what is important to you. The road to adult "success" can be full of unexpected detours and barriers. Sometimes, we need support overcoming those barriers or even charting an entirely new path from our previous notions of what it means to be happy, whole, or fulfilled.
Using a variety of approaches, I work with clients to heal old wounds, understand their patterns, and examine the present and the future to build towards their goals. I am trained in EMDR to treat trauma, and also use talk therapy approaches to help clients achieve healing and balance in their lives.

Molly Rosenstein
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
The decision to pursue therapy can be a difficult one and I honor that decision by creating a warm, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I prioritize working at a pace that feels comfortable for each individual client as I understand that being vulnerable, self-reflecting and revisiting difficult experiences can be new and overwhelming.
Chronic life stressors and sudden changes can make it challenging to access one’s innate strengths and abilities. I see myself as a guide, helping clients reveal and strengthen their natural abilities as well as develop new skills so that they can flourish and create more meaningful, satisfying and unburdened lives.

Ashley Alderette
Psychologist, PsyD
I help clients who may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck to bring about lasting change and peace of mind. I work particularly well with clients who are struggling to build meaningful connections with others, as well as those navigating the balance between pursuing success and paralyzing perfectionism. My approach is warm, empathic, collaborative and non-judgmental; I aim for you to feel understood and empowered in session, and to carry those feelings into your broader life.
I have extensive training in skill-based techniques, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), radically open dialectical behavioral therapy (RO DBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and insight-oriented therapies. I also offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through extended sessions. My training allows me to craft a treatment strategy that meets your unique needs and provides you with the tools to increase your self-awareness, sense of control over your feelings, and satisfaction with your life, relationships and choices.
I specialize in working with teens, college students, and young adults through experienced professionals, including those with demanding jobs who would like to increase their sense of connection to their families. I have particular expertise in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, social connectedness, grief, life transitions, perfectionism and disordered eating, with a focus on helping clients to remain present and resilient in response to day-to-day demands. I also have extensive experience training other clinicians, having supervised the clinical work of doctoral level therapists at George Mason University and Potomac Behavioral Solutions.
I work with clients via telehleath and welcome and am actively affirming of all sexualities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.

I aim to build on your strengths (even if you aren't sure you have any!), and help you find clarity in what you want in life, and how to get there. By gaining insight into the origins of your concerns, and patterns in relationships, you can be more intentional in how to engage with others and how to cope better with challenges.

Catherine Corey
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA
You may feel like those around you have it figured out, or wonder why everything just feels harder than it should. Maybe you feel confused and stuck when you want to be moving forward. Strategies that worked in the past may not be helping anymore, and fighting through things on your own has started to feel like a lot. Together, we'll sort through what's getting in the way, identify how to remove barriers, and find your spark again.
I work in a warm and collaborative style, with a focus on helping you to feel safe, supported and gently challenged. While I draw from several treatment modalities, the core of my work is influenced by humanistic and person-centered perspectives that see you as a whole person with unique needs, values and experiences, and are grounded in the belief that we all have an innate drive and capacity for growth. I am comfortable sitting with people in some of their toughest times, both holding space for the current pain and finding ways forward into the light, so I hope you’ll show up exactly as you are. We may even find some humor, too, since it can be a lot to feel so heavy all the time.
I specialize in working with college students through established adults, with a particular emphasis on individuals struggling with depression, anxiety or self-esteem, career or leadership challenges, navigating complex life transitions, or working to untangle personal questions from systemic challenges and inequities. In addition to my work as a psychotherapist, I am an experienced organizational development consultant, coach, facilitator and trainer. I regularly work with corporations, educational institutions and non-profits on leadership development, strategic planning, performance management, and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
I hold a Masters in Psychology, and am working towards my PhD with a concentration in social justice and diversity with a research specialty in moral injury. I am actively affirming and welcoming to individuals of all gender identities, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and religions, and am committed to providing supportive, trauma-informed care. I look forward to working with you in-person, or with DC-based clients virtually via secure telehealth.

If you feel anxious, sad, overwhelmed or stuck, if you are frustrated by your family or relationships, navigating a challenging life transition or are worn out by disordered eating, I may be a good fit for you. My therapy style is collaborative, warm, and nonjudgmental, with room for humor.

I have extensive experience with college students, young adults and established professionals, with a particular focus on individuals navigating life transitions such as college and graduation, young adulthood, relationship changes, pregnancy and parenthood. I also have expertise in the treatment of disordered eating, particularly binge eating disorder, and “body focused repetitive behaviors” such as hair pulling and skin picking.

ENID MCKITRICK
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
For more than 30 years I have been helping people to identify the patterns that are keeping them stuck, and to begin the process of developing new patterns that will lead them towards the life they want to live. For the first five years of my practice I worked in an employee assistance setting, gaining valuable experience in helping to resolve workplace conflicts and challenges. As all therapists do, I draw on my own life experiences and challenges to inform my work with my clients, including the infertility treatment I underwent in order to start a family. I also draw on my background as a classically trained singer when working with clients who are engaged in the creative arts.

Annalise Perricone
Psychologist, PhD
You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck, despite how hard you’re working. Perhaps you feel unseen in your relationships, worn out by conflict, limited by an invisible disability, or disconnected from your sense of self. You might be questioning your academic or professional path, even while others see you as high-achieving and successful.
My goal is to help you feel seen and understood, while building the confidence, motivation, and self-compassion needed to achieve your goals without feeling miserable. I aim for our sessions to feel warm, collaborative, and proactive, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space while also gently challenging you toward growth.
My approach combines structured, evidence-based methods (CBT, DBT, ACT) with insight-oriented, psychodynamic understanding. This allows us to work on gaining immediate tools to help you feel better, while also building a deeper understanding of your challenges.
I work with college students through established adults who are experiencing a wide variety of stressors and symptoms, especially anxiety and depression. I have specialized training in CBT for chronic pain, and I particularly enjoy helping clients reconnect with their identity beyond their physical distress, rediscovering joy, purpose, and balance in daily life. I also frequently work with clients struggling with academic or career stress, including burnout, work–life balance, imposter syndrome, and perfectionism, as well as graduate applications, career changes, and relationship strain due to professional and academic demands.
I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Yale University, where my research focused on factors influencing the effectiveness of treatment for biologically based depression. This training informs my evidence-based, compassionate, and results-driven approach to therapy.

Dr. Wayne Bullock
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd
Life is filled with challenges. We all approach these challenges in characteristic ways that are shaped by the life we have lived up until that moment. We learn how to respond to challenges based on what has been helpful in the past. As we grow and move through life, these ways of coping can become less advantageous. Sometimes we get stuck in our responses to stress, and this can exacerbate negative feelings. I can help you learn to notice these patterns, the ways they have helped, and the ways in which they no longer serve you. Together, we will work to create more options for you to respond to the challenges of life.
