Hello! Thank you for visiting my page and for considering me for your mental health needs. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in DC and Virginia. Antiracist and identity-affirming practice is very important to me. I help clients navigate mood-related concerns (e.g., anxiety and depression), relationship issues, identity conflicts, and family of origin issues, among others. Seeking out mental health services requires courage and a desire to change. I try to honor this courage by working hard to be present, warm, and responsive every time we meet. Accelerated experiential dynamic psychotherapy (AEDP) informs my work. I specialize in individual and group therapy for adults and practice from an emotion-focused perspective. Men's mental health, and access for marginalized folks, including LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, and clients with chronic health conditions are areas of particular expertise. Website:smithpsychotherapy.wordpress.com/about/josh-desilva/ I have offered local and national trainings on anti-oppression work and psychotherapy with organizations like NAMI and the AEDP Institute. In addition to my private practice work, I am passionate about community and state board service. Feel free to reach out for a free initial phone consultation.
