Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
With many years of experience, I bring an eclectic, interactive approach to therapy. We each see the world through our unique lens, as well as how we see ourselves in relationships; all influenced by the larger systems we are part of. These different perspectives are honored. My style is to create a relaxed atmosphere , and our work is guided by our conversation. I listen for underlying patterns of behavior. This shapes my perceptions as to what interventions will be most beneficial. .

Amy Goldfrank
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I specialize in working with clients who feel anxious, depressed, or disempowered, and struggle with cycles of self-criticism, perfectionism, difficult relationships, or life transitions (e.g., graduation, parenthood or career changes). My therapeutic approach blends evidence-based methods from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, ACT, and DBT, with goals to help clients understand and tangibly improve their symptoms. I aim for therapy to be a place where they can feel supported and guided as we work together towards growth. I seek to help strengthen clients' sense of agency, so they feel empowered to make and sustain meaningful life changes.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, and have advanced postgraduate training in perinatal mental health care, including postpartum anxiety and depression, as well as training in trauma-informed clinical care. Prior to becoming a therapist, I previously worked as an attorney with the US Department of Justice, and draw upon this experience in my work with clients in demanding professional and academic careers.
I welcome clients from all backgrounds, and am committed to creating a collaborative, non-judgmental therapeutic experience where both practical strategies and emotional understanding can flourish.

With couples, I use the skills-based Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. I am also a part of PSYPACT.
I value each client’s cultural background and use an authentic and collaborative approach in therapy. I provide a space for clients to explore and process their experiences and help them develop skills to navigate challenges and create lasting change.

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.

Dr. John Monopoli
Psychologist, PhD
If you’re feeling stuck, isolated, irritable, frustrated, doing things you don't want to, and seeking change -- let's talk. I see clients for individual therapy, and work primarily with millennials and Gen Z'ers who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD. Many of my clients are early or mid-career professionals balancing work and family demands, dealing with relationship stress, and working through challenging family dynamics. My specialties go along with associated challenges in this group: establishing healthy boundaries, listening to your instincts, and taking care of your self. I also have specific training working with social anxiety and ADHD.

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.

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.

Shally Vaid
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space for clients who feel burdened with hard feelings. You may be navigating a period of anxiety or depression, struggling with a difficult phase of life, unsure of how to move beyond past experiences, or feeling badly about who you are as a person or loved one. You might be experiencing this on your own, or in relationship with others. In therapy, we will create a collaborative and respectful partnership, working through these questions together, and empowering you to find your path back to a life of joy and calm.
I specialize in working with college students through established adults, and have particular experience with clients experiencing infertility, adjusting to parenthood or navigating the joys and challenges of older children. In addition to individual therapy, I am Gottman-trained in couples therapy and work with couples of all ages, as well as families with adult children, with special expertise in inter-cultural, immigrant, and expatriate experiences. Fluent in Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi, in addition to English, I bring a multicultural lens to my work and often partner with clients navigating multiple cultures and identities. I operate primarily from a cognitive-behavioral perspective, using my years of experience to incorporate mindfulness, person-centered therapies, attachment theory, and solution-focused work to craft an approach tailored to your specific needs.
Together, I believe we can rediscover your strength, hope, and confidence. Wherever you are in your journey towards wellness, I will meet you there and will walk with you in a collaborative relationship towards healing.
I welcome and am actively affirming of all sexualities, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds, and have particular experience with LBGTQ+ clients who are navigating the intersection of sexuality and culture or adjusting to life transitions, including parenthood stages throughout life.
