Ilana Lane
Psychologist, Ph.D., therapy for anxious overachievers
Are you an overachiever who is feeling anxious, burned out, stressed, and/or just generally "out of alignment"? Is this impacting your ability to show up in your various life roles (whether that be as parent, employee, caregiver, etc.) in the ways that you'd like? I am passionate about working with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by juggling life's various roles and are looking to get back into alignment with what matters most to them. Together, my clients and I work on identifying their priorities and values, addressing what's been getting in the way, and implementing concrete skills and tools to get them feeling back to themselves. I only implement psychological approaches that have been proven to work, while also having a treatment approach that is highly individualized and holistic - rather than viewing you as a diagnosis, I recognize that you are a unique person with your own unique goals, dreams, and values, and my goal is to partner with you as you move closer and closer to living a life that is in alignment with those things that matter most to you. As a psychologist who is authorized under PSYPACT, I am able to provide Telehealth services to clients in over 40 states. If you are interested in seeing if we might be a good fit, please feel free to reach out to schedule a free initial 15-minute consultation call.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for over 35 years. I take all of my ongoing trainings to stay up to date. I really enjoy doing EMDR because it allows people to process trauma - from childhood trauma experiences to current traumas. I also work with improving relationships, improving communication and internal growth. I work with addiction and all that goes with that such as low self-esteem and personal growth.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
My goal as a therapist is to create a safe non-judgemental space for all clients, especially clients who may not click with other therapists such as LGBTQ+, gender diverse, polyamorous or non-monogamous, and kink practicing clients. During our sessions you can be your true self. You don't have to mask with me or hide things about you that you think are weird or unlikeable. Ideally I can help you learn to like those aspects of yourself. You never have to hide important parts of your identity with me because I will never judge you for any reason.

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.
