About
I am certified in anxiety, depression, and trauma (EMDR). I am also a relationship expert with a PhD in marriage and family therapy and a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-S, LICSW). I have over 20 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and families. I'm a dating coach as well. Many of my clients choose alternative methods for dealing with anxiety and depression instead of prescription medication. I am also a certified herbalist and a practitioner of yoga. I'm not just EMDR "trained", but also certified with advanced hours in trauma. I am trained in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), CPT (cognitive processing), and I’m a certified facilitator for Prepare/Enrich (marital & premarital). I help couples work through their conflicts and achieve the kind of relationship they desire. I am happily married and the mother of two young adults. I work from a Christian framework. I developed the "Fierce Self-Esteem" course - an interactive course with over 70 modules, including lectures, assessments, activities, and discussion. I'm licensed in CT, DC, MD, TX, and AZ. My Tik Tok is drdwanreed and Instagram is drdwan. Specialties: During our first session, I typically conduct a comprehensive assessment to better understand your unique needs and aspirations. Based on this assessment, we will work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. We will discuss various therapeutic approaches and select the one that you feel most comfortable with.
"Having practiced for many years, I'm eclectic, yet my foundational roots are in psychodynamic theory, family systems, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. For many of my clients, I use a trauma-focused approach. I'm very hands-on and practical, and provide specific direction and resources for a wide variety of life's struggles. I use personality testing and take a holistic perspective."
