Individual Therapy for Adults

Adults may encounter challenges throughout their lives related to relationships, work, family of origin issues, setting boundaries, self-esteem, break-ups or divorce, grief and loss, aging parents, financial issues, or chronic illness. We can provide support around all of these issues. We also enjoy helping adults through transitions to ensure they’re making informed and healthy decisions around cohabitation, engagement, marriage, divorce, parenthood, changing jobs or careers, and planning a move or geographic relocation.

Individual Therapy for Young Professionals

After graduation from college, many young professionals flock to a city like Washington, DC to begin their professional careers. We enjoy helping young professionals adjust to the demands of a new job, career, and lifestyle, in the major metropolitan area of Washington, DC. You may feel as though you are getting lost in the crowd, but we can help you to navigate the workplace, relationships, and the many other challenges of newly found independence. Just steps from the Tenleytown/AU Red Line metro stop, we are a convenient stop on your way to work if you reside in Montgomery County or Upper NW DC, or a stop on your way home from working in Downtown DC.

Individual Therapy for College and University Students

College life presents many challenges: fitting in with new friends, finding your independence, and navigating a new campus, new city, and new social scene! If you are a college student who also struggles with depression or anxiety, college life can be a very difficult adjustment. Our trained therapists are here to help you to overcome any challenges you face, to achieve success in your academic and social life. Located right next to an American University shuttle stop, we are conveniently located very close to the American University campus.

Group Therapy & Support Groups

Sometimes, group therapy can be a complement to individual therapy, as you will connect with others who are on a similar journey of healing. Periodically, we offer groups to our clients. Two recent groups that Dandelion has run have been a group for women facing transitions in their lives, and a group for teen girls focusing on journaling and reflection. You can learn more about our current and upcoming groups by following the link below.

Therapy for Depression

Depression can rob you of your ability to enjoy and engage with every aspect of your life, and it can be difficult to find the strength to move forward. Talking to a therapist can help you find resilience and hope, which may be the first steps toward reclaiming and embracing your life with all of its joys and challenges.
