DC Talk Therapy is a wonderful practice with compassionate, thoughtful clinicians and an outstanding administrative team. Communication is prompt, details are handled with care, and clients receive truly high-quality support. I would recommend this practice to any client seeking care in the DC area.
DCTT was recommended to me in 2019, when I was in a bad way. Since that time, they've helped me find a good-fit therapist, manage through a pandemic, and in addition, have well-trained, compassionate administrative support (scheduling, mental health emergencies, maternity leave, referrals, etc.). My therapist Carla has helped me make progress with the tools/skills I use, as well as navigate several life changes. I cannot speak highly enough of this practice or their staff (shoutout to Amy!!).
DC Talk Therapy is great -- I have seen my therapist for years now and she has helped me tremendously. The practice itself is incredibly well run, the front office is very responsive and helpful. They send weekly session reminders (which I find extremely useful) and I've never had any issues rescheduling when needed. 10/10 recommend.
