Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe, often caused by negative thinking. I use cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and correct these negative thoughts and beliefs. The idea is that if you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Sexual anxiety, performance fears, or the quiet worry that something is “wrong” with your desire or body can create distance in your relationship or within yourself. In a safe, non-judgmental space, we gently unpack where the anxiety comes from—whether it’s rooted in past experiences, shame, or repeating patterns—and help you rebuild confidence, presence, and pleasure. Many clients notice they can finally relax, communicate their needs more openly, and experience intimacy that feels good instead of pressured or scary.

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.

Anxiety
Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
The goal of working on your anxiety in therapy is to feel more relaxed in situations where you might usually feel overwhelmed or panicked. We do this by identifying the underlying thoughts, emotions, and stressors contributing to the anxiety, and then develop ways to cope so that you feel relief from your symptoms.
Doing this work can feel scary, as even the discomfort of anxiety can feel more comfortable than the unknown. With that in mind, I strive to create a safe an accepting space, where we work together at whatever pace that you need.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Fear is a universal human experience. It can either serve us or immobilize us. In my holistic life coaching practice, I have amassed tools, methods, and approaches to harnessing fear for our empowerment. I am always excited to share these resources as so much in our culture and day-to-day lives drives fear and anxiety. It's difficult to get through a day without our flight-or-flight response being triggered. While fear never goes away (and it shouldn't—we need it for informed decision making), we can acknowledge, manage, and utilize fear to our benefit. Excited to share with you. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past or finding a mental diagnosis because I believe you are whole, resourceful and creative as you are, right now. Our work will be to find the tools that work for you to get the life you want.

Bold Expressions Therapy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I am passionate about working with anyone who has experienced depression or anxiety and who wants to take a deeper look at how these painful thoughts and feelings developed, and how they shape their daily lives. I strive to give my patients a myriad of coping skills and therapeutic tools that will allow them to deftly navigate the world’s everyday stressors, and ask them to look introspectively at their own expectations and biases as together we resist heteronormative patriachal structures.

Anxiety
Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) manage aspects of anxiety that are significantly impacting their functioning and well-being. I further help them identify strengths that can help them focus on what they have control over, and gain skills to manage their anxiety. This sometimes involves referral to and/or collaboration with a medication prescriber for comprehensive care and maximization of management of symptoms.

Anxiety
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
Therapy focusing on anxiety helps patients struggling with anxiety to get emotionally organized and establish coping mechanisms for mitigating the symptoms, at least as the first order of business. The next (and equally important) step has us getting to the underlying root causes of the anxiety, so that the treatment can allow for longer-lasting changes in one’s relationships to self and others. This fundamental change paves the way to a more emotionally flexible life. Through weekly therapy sessions (or as often as necessary in the very beginning), patients suffering with anxiety can learn to free up emotional bandwidth and live their everyday lives in a more relaxed state of mind. This effective approach offers you an honest and accurate view of yourself, as well as a means to develop new ways of engaging with yourself and others.

Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Designed to help individuals overcome debilitating fear, stress, and anxiety, my therapeutic approach explores the underlying thoughts and feelings driving these experiences. By gaining insight into how these cognitive patterns inform behavior, clients develop sustainable management strategies. When clinically indicated, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to accelerate processing and long-term relief.

Molly Rosenstein
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Anxiety can show up in many ways—racing thoughts, constant worry, avoidance, or overwhelming fear. I help clients identify the roots of their anxiety, develop practical coping tools, and build confidence in facing what feels overwhelming. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, I work collaboratively to reduce distress and create space for calm, clarity, and resilience.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I treat the whole person, rather than the symptom of anxiety or fear. We explore and help awaken the source of the internal and external concerns that give rise to such symptoms. This enables new healing and growth of the person, beyond diminishment and management of symptoms.

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.
