Internal Family Systems
North Star Wellness
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Asking for help is often seen as a sign of vulnerability, and in turn, it shows tremendous bravery and intelligence. It takes courage to admit that you need support and you are willing to bravely seek it out. This act reflects a deep understanding of oneself, ultimately it is a testament to your resilience and determination to overcome challenges, rather than struggling in silence.

Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Are you a high-functioning, driven mom who’s often managing it all—career, family, relationships—but finding yourself feeling exhausted, stretched thin, and unsure of how to prioritize yourself? I get it. With over 25 years of experience as a licensed psychologist and certified coach, I specialize in supporting women like you: high-achieving moms balancing both career success and the intense demands of parenting, often while navigating other challenges like anxiety, depression, burnout, toxic relationships, divorce, and/or grief.
I bring a compassionate, practical approach that includes both therapy and coaching and therapeutic tools. I take a holistic approach where we will focus on every part of your life and encorporate actionable steps for reclaiming control, reconnecting with your needs, and rebuilding energy and joy. We'll work together to develop a plan that empowers you to prioritize your mental health and establish boundaries so you can show up fully for both yourself and others without guilt.
And if you’re ready to dive deeper, I offer hypnosis services, designed to help you break through patterns that may be holding you back. Hypnosis offers an effective way to explore issues like burnout, anxiety, or decision-making, providing clarity and relief in a deeply relaxed state. I will tailor the hypnosis to match your specific need.
It’s time to care for yourself with the same commitment you give others. Reach out, and together, we can carve a path to a renewed, empowered life.

David A. Heilman
Psychologist, Psy.D.
When deciding to see a therapist, it can be extremely challenging to choose someone to work with. I hope to be there with you in therapy as you work to discover new levels self-understanding, compassion, and insight. Most individuals decide to start therapy after encountering emotional distress that has left them overwhelmed, and as though they have lost control of their life. I work collaboratively with my clients to find ways in which they are able to regain a sense of control, empowerment, and purpose in their lives.
Important to our work will be the concept that our relationship, and the exploration of that relationship, will help you make discoveries about other important relationships in your life. Although this work can be challenging at times, it can lead to improvements in your social interactions, mood, and anxiety.
While I have enjoyed working with a wide variety of individuals, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy, ADHD, anxiety, depression, chronic shame, couples/relationship challenges, and non-traditional relationships. I am currently seeing new clients in my Dupont Circle office, and I look forward to answering any of your questions.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.

Ariel Hayat
Therapist, LMSW
Do you have feelings of anxiety, depression, instability, or codependency within your relationships? Do you want to find the right partner(s) or improve your current relationship but are not sure how? Are you tired of the dating game and choosing people who are unavailable? You want to be able to show up authentically for connection and chose others who can meet you there as well. The truth is you want to build relationships grounded in belonging, acceptance, growth, and healing, but are not sure where to start.
We will dive deep to understand the relationship patterns and attachment styles that unconsciously guide your interactions with family members, partners, workplace colleagues, and even yourself. Together we will develop practices for self-exploration, communication, and connection. You have the inherent capacity and self-knowledge to grow, heal and thrive. I work with clients experiencing relationship challenges with parents, dating, committed relationships, friends and within workplace settings, helping them to create intentional relationships where they feel safe, fulfilled and supported.
I am a trauma-trained therapist with additional training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Gottman Institute, and the Internal Family Systems Institute.
I have a deep commitment to and passion for creating a safe space with individuals from all races, genders, sexualities, religions, abilities, and life paths. If you want to feel more connected, fulfilled and in alignment with yourself, feel free to email me for a free 20-minute phone consultation. Looking forward to hearing from you.
