Depression
Molly Rosenstein
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Depression can make even the simplest tasks feel heavy and isolating. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you don’t have to go through it alone. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we’ll work together to shift unhelpful thought patterns and reconnect you with hope, meaning, and motivation. At the heart of my work is a deep commitment to empathy, authenticity, and the healing power of a genuine therapeutic relationship.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Depression
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Depression can show up as more than sadness. It may feel like heaviness, disconnection, loss of motivation, or a quiet sense of moving through life on autopilot. Many women I work with continue to meet responsibilities even while feeling emotionally depleted inside. Therapy offers space to explore the deeper context surrounding these experiences and to reconnect with parts of yourself that may feel distant or muted. Together, we work toward restoring a greater sense of engagement, meaning, and internal support.

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.

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.
