Nikita Pion-Klockner, Holistic Therapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C
Relationships can become strained by miscommunication, unmet needs, trauma, or the stress of everyday life. I work with couples to strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust, helping partners feel heard, valued, and more deeply connected.
I provide virtual couples therapy through secure video sessions and work with partners in both traditional and nontraditional relationships. Together, we focus on building mutual understanding, respect, and emotional safety so you can cultivate the healthy, emotionally intelligent relationship you both deserve.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
When conflict, emotional distance, or the “roommate phase” takes over, it can feel like the connection you once had is slipping away. In couples therapy, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy to identify the negative cycles keeping you stuck, uncover the underlying emotions and needs, and help you reach for each other in ways that rebuild safety, trust, and closeness—both emotionally and sexually. Whether you want to repair, deepen, or simply understand your patterns better, this is a collaborative space to create the kind of marriage or relationship that feels good again.

Karen J. Osterle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSSA, LICSW
I happily offer pre-marital counseling, couples therapy, and marriage counseling, focusing on helping each of you be your optimally functioning selves inside of an intimate relationship. (Or, if we learn that this can't be the case, for whatever reason, I will help you part as amicably and respectfully as possible.) Please see my website for more information on how I think about all of this.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Intimate partnerships can become strained by chronic conflict, emotional distance, or breaches of trust. Utilizing evidence-based systemic frameworks, including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples decode destructive communication loops and negative behavioral cycles. Our work focuses on resolving deeply rooted conflicts, rebuilding a secure emotional attachment foundation, and establishing practical collaborative strategies to foster mutual respect and long-term relational resilience.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I do couples therapy, focused on identifying what has happened along the way to the couple, from initial attraction to their current life situation and conflicts. The aim is to help the couple clarify what each needs or wants to do, to increase intimacy and build a sustaining relationship. And, if that is not possible, how to part in a mutually respectful way.

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.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
By the time they show up in my virtual office, many neurodiverse couples have had previous couple therapy experiences that did not go well, and are feeling increasingly stuck and hopeless about reconnecting in their relationship. If you are navigating ADHD, Autism, OCD, or other forms of neurodivergence in your relationship, you need an experienced couple therapist with a profound understanding of both the strengths and challenges of having brain-based differences, and how these differences can impact communication, energy management, nervous system activation, intimacy, and more. I would love to help you chart a different path for your neurodiverse relationship that allows you to interact with greater ease and connect more authentically.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Whether married, engaged, dating, straight, gay, in conventional, non-conventional relationships, all relationships are important to our health and well-being. Some seek therapy as a "tune up" to tweak minor issues to prevent them from becoming major deal breakers. Some are experiencing potential "deal breakers" and may be considering ending the relationship. Often, one member of the couple is unsure how they feel and may be ambivalent as to what outcome they would like.to see. Each person has a different perspective of how the relationship feels.

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.
