DR Mindy Jacobs
Psychologist, PhD -licensed psychologist, ABPP-Board Certified in Counseling Psychology
I work with patients to help them bring together their thoughts and emotions. I start with accepting them for who they are and helping people live out their potential. I explore the person's history as well as prenent influences. I also utilize the therapy relationship as a microcosm their life.

Substance Abuse
Michael Berry
Psychologist, PhD
I specialize in working with adults experiencing substance use and addictive behaviors, with a particular focus on the complex interplay between psychological and physical health. Using a biopsychosocial and evidence-based approach, I help patients understand how substance use interacts with stress, mood, sleep, pain, medical conditions, and other aspects of health, while developing practical strategies for behavior change and long-term recovery. My approach is collaborative and nonjudgmental, recognizing addiction as a complex health condition and supporting patients in building sustainable changes that promote both psychological well-being and overall health.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Cyndi Turner
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LSATP, MAC
Navigating the path to recovery from drugs or alcohol can be daunting, but you're not alone. Our approach combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate support to help you overcome the challenges of substance use. Together, we'll work on developing coping skills, addressing underlying issues, and building a sustainable, healthy lifestyle free from the constraints of substance use. Not everyone who uses is an "addict"or "alcoholic." Sometimes, people are just going through a hard time and are looking for a way to copy. We treat all levels of drug and alcohol problems.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
