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.

Aryn Jentz, LCSW; Infinite Abilities Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I am an LCSW, a mom, a stepmom, a wife, a disability advocate and an aspiring farmer! I enjoy being able to have a virtual private practice where I can take breaks to go for a walk on our family farm and grab some goat snuggles or explore trails in the woods with our pack of corgis. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe space where we can work together to reduce stressors, learn coping skills/resources and see growth as you gain confidence in your path forward. I am also excited to begin offering in person therapy as an option in Ashland, Va beginning in November 2024.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I believe that psychotherapy offers you an opportunity to examine your life story and in the process, gain new perspective and insight to re-write it and create a new narrative. While you may come to therapy with a problem to explore and address, I will also help you identify your personal character strengths and ways to nurture them, in order to support your personal growth and achieve your goals. I am a warm and supportive psychotherapist with an eclectic therapuetic approach, using both Western evidence based interventions as well as Eastern treatment approaches to help promote your healing and growth. I believe that collaboration, openness, curiosity and humor are key ingredients to a successful therapeutic experience. Psychotherapy is an adventure and I look forward to walking by your side on your chosen journey.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Hi there! I'm John, a Resident in Counseling hailing from the beautiful state of Virginia. My professional journey is fueled by a special interest in tackling LGBTQIA+ issues, relational conflicts, life transitions, and more. I firmly believe in creating a safe haven for clients to explore their concerns, and I integrate various therapeutic modalities like trauma-informed, client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my practice.
Armed with Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic and Legal Psychology from Marymount University, I'm an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, an international counseling academic honor society.
Before joining CCG, I honed my skills at a DC community health center, where I had the privilege of working closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with chronic conditions. My experiences ranged from navigating complex trauma to supporting clients through discrimination, chronic illness, and the nuances of the coming out process.
Beyond the counseling realm, you'll find me savoring the joys of cooking, exploring new destinations, delving into a good book, and relishing quality time with friends and family.
