Licensed Professional Counselor
Washington, DC
Accepting new clients

Do you experience hypervigilance? panic? overwhelm? avoidance? unexplained physical symptoms? Many of my clients didn't realize that their symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, issues with vulnerability and in relationships stem from trauma. Trauma is not just something soldiers experience; trauma encompasses so many experiences. I use modalities like EMDR to get at the root of the symptoms, rather than putting a bandaid on them for a temporary fix. I also have experience with ADHD-info...

Emily Green
Psychologist
Washington, DC
Accepting new clients

As a clinician, I am focused on helping clients find a life of meaning and value. Often times in our pain there is incredibly useful information about what's important to us. As humans, we have evolved to move away from physical pain, to escape it: and for most types of pain, those methods work! But for emotional pain, avoidance not only doesn’t get rid of our pain and suffering, it often amplifies it. In discovering how each individual client finds meaning in their lives, we ground ourselves in...
