Therapists for college students near Washington, DC
In my work with clients, I use a really practical, active and results-oriented approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I don't spend much time at all on trying to figure out the past origins and history of your problems. Instead, I help you learn and apply specific strategies, skills and techniques so you can overcome your problems in the present, and achieve whatever personal therapy goals you choose for yourself, such as: socializing, making friends, forming relationships, being as...

In the meantime, we can also build skills to bette...
