Therapy That Respects the Full You
We know therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why our team specializes in inclusive, affirming, and evidence-based care tailored to your lived experience — not just your symptoms.
We work with adults, teens, and families across D.C. who are seeking relief, insight, and real change.

At Coastal Collaborative Care, you’ll find therapists who listen deeply, care holistically, and walk beside you with empathy, not judgment.
Areas of Specialty
Eating Disorders & Disordered Eating
We offer HAES®-aligned, fat-positive treatment for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, OSFED, and disordered eating behaviors. Our approach includes collaboration with dietitians, body image support, and trauma-informed strategies to help you build a sustainable, peaceful relationship with food, your body, and yourself in general.
OCD & Anxiety
We provide specialized care for OCD using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). We also use evidence-based treatment for generalized anxiety, panic, and health anxiety. Our team adapts these methods to fit your neurotype and personal history.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Therapy
Struggling with ADHD, executive dysfunction, or sensory overload? We offer neurodivergent-affirming therapy for clients who have often felt misunderstood in traditional mental health settings.
Trauma & Life Transitions
Whether you’re navigating a major life shift or processing complex trauma, we create safe therapeutic spaces where healing happens at your pace. All therapists are trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), and utilize a relational approach – one that centers the therapeutic relationship as a key part of the healing process. For those who have experienced trauma, especially in relationships, it can be deeply healing to experience a safe, consistent connection with a therapist who listens with empathy, honors your boundaries, and builds trust over time.

What Makes Our Practice Different?
Trauma-Informed & Relationship-Centered
We work at your pace and prioritize your safety. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you heal in a way that honors your story. It’s a process of connecting the dots, building self-awareness, and cultivating self-acceptance.
Evidence-Based, Not Cookie-Cutter
We use proven modalities like ERP, CBT, ACT, IFS, and EMDR — adapted to your needs and values.
HAES®, LGBTQ+, and Neurodivergent-Affirming
You don’t need to change your body, your identity, or your brain to deserve care. We celebrate who you are, and our therapists are trained to provide affirming support for clients of all identities and body sizes.
Collaborative and Transparent
You’re the expert on your life. We bring clinical expertise, but you’ll always be an active partner in your own healing.
