Posted by Justin Barrasso

  This past week, with the Uvalde school shooting, has been difficult. Given the context of the shooting in Buffalo not too long before and the SCOTUS leak about Roe V. Wade, there is so much worry in our world right now.  If you are a parent, you are likely concerned about how to talk with your children about the school ...READ MORE »

Am I Doing Therapy Wrong?

Posted by Jackie Hill

“Am I doing therapy correctly?” is a question I’ve heard more than once from many of my teen and young adult clients in my psychotherapy practice in Washington, DC and nearby Bethesda, MD.
