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

Depression can make the simplest tasks feel insurmountable, often leaving you feeling disconnected from the things you once loved. In my practice, I work with adults and adolescents to gently navigate these heavy emotions. Using a collaborative approach grounded in CBT, we will focus on identifying negative thought patterns and gradually reintroducing activities that bring a sense of accomplishment and joy. My goal is to help you rediscover your energy and find a path out of the fog toward a more hopeful, balanced life.

Depression
Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Depression isn't just sadness—it's the heaviness that makes getting out of bed feel impossible, the numbness that disconnects you from things you used to enjoy, and the voice that tells you nothing will ever change. We approach depression through psychodynamic, somatic, and cognitive frameworks, helping you understand what's underneath the fog while building momentum toward action. Therapy for depression here isn't about toxic positivity or pushing through—it's about reconnecting with yourself, your life, and your sense of what's possible.

Depression
Dr. Caroline Hicks
Psychologist, PhD, LP
With depression, things can feel incredibly exhausting - and most steps to take towards getting out of a depressive episode can feel forced. I work with people to find realistic steps in decreasing the intensity of their depression, and find a path towards relief. This often includes a collaboration between building coping skills, and exploring the triggers to your depression. I have gotten feedback that my space provides a nice balance of processing and finding sustainable steps in reducing depression.

Depression
Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Depression has many sources which are important to clarify and illuminate, in order to heal and grow. Much depression in our culture reflects a stifled sense of the "self" you are inside; a product of your life decisions and values that chip away at your sense of wellbeing and possibility. Ironically, for some, depression enables awakening to what you're struggling to let go of or change in your life, your relationship or your work.

Depression
Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
Depression--particularly anxious depression--can feel so hopeless and crazy-making. In many instances, depression results from the protective mechanisms failing to work for us, like they used to. This work invites you to come forward in the spirit of 100% honesty, awareness, and openness to engage the healthier aspects of your will and arrive at acceptance of a fuller range of your emotional self-expression. When we are in a better, more authentic relationship with ourselves, we free up a lot of inadvertently squandered or eddying energy in order to reengage with our goals once again.

Depression
Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I support clients in getting familiar with the inner voice of depression and recognizing that it is not the only voice they can attend to at a given time. Often depression tells you to give up, or that it's not worth it. Understanding where this comes from can often help in contextualizing the depressive response and better managing thoughts associated with it.

Depression
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. Some times, the way we respond leaves us feeling depressed, as if life is empty, barren, or so deeply unsatisfying we would rather not participate fully. Depression then can become reinforcing, because being depressed limits opportunities to find moments of happiness or connection. Therapy examining what led to the depression in the beginning, as opposed to a "band-aid" approach of only trying to reduce the depressed feelings, can not only result in you feeling less depressed, but aid you in living a life even more thriving than before you were depressed.

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.
