Anxiety
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.

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.

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.

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. Jeannine Pablo
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.

Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Anxiety and fear can be approached from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Depending on severity, we can stay flexible in approaches to your anxiety and fear that you are experiencing. I like to note that many anxieties and fears are rooted in real experiences that are worthy of unearthing and healing. For those who come with anxieties that are based in reality, such as experiencing oppression or aggression from society, we will work together to find a path that allows you to feel like you get to live a life of value and finding ways to decrease your anxiety without necessarily losing access to safety.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults experiencing generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic, health anxiety, and specific fears, often clients who look calm and capable on the outside while managing significant internal pressure. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which gives us a clear, structured way to understand what's driving your anxiety and build practical tools to manage it, rather than just talking around it. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals, scientists, or first-generation Latinx adults whose anxiety is tied to perfectionism or the weight of navigating spaces that weren't built with them in mind. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

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.

Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
I help clients with anxiety identify their fear and worry patterns, understand where these thoughts may have come from in their lives, and create new ways of thinking that are more balanced and supportive. Creating anxiety management tools that help reduce physical anxiety symptoms in the moment means that my clients build realistic and useful coping strategies that help them feel better when anxiety peaks. We cannot eliminate anxiety or fear from our life but we can learn to understand our anxiety as a piece of us and ultimately appreciate who we are as a whole person.

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.
