About Me (she/her)

    Hi! I’m Caroline.

    Life can be overwhelming and exhausting; and even when it’s not, it can be helpful to have someone to talk with.

    When working with me, you can expect that I will believe that you know yourself and your life circumstances best. We will work together to address your points of conflict and how we can best meet your needs working together. I use aspects of multiple therapeutic modalities, as I believe it is important to be flexible and match the techniques to the needs of each specific client. This could be aspects of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), etc.

    I work with people who have many different reasons for coming to therapy. Some of these include: anxiety and depression, identity formation, difficult life transitions. Some of the people I tend to work with: young adults and teens, LGBTQ+.

    About Me (she/her)

      As a dedicated and compassionate counselor, I am committed to helping individuals of all ages navigate life’s challenges and develop the tools they need to thrive. I recently graduated with a Master of Science in Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, where I gained comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in providing therapeutic support for individuals and families.

      I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients through my internships, which took place across three different schools, allowing me to support children and adolescents from kindergarten through 12th grade. This experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the challenges students face at various stages of their educational journey.

      In addition to my work with minors, I also offer therapy for adults, helping them address a variety of issues such as stress, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, and more. Whether you are navigating personal struggles, career transitions, or emotional hurdles, I am here to help you find a path forward.

      My academic background also includes a degree in Child and Family Studies from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, where I developed a strong foundation in understanding family dynamics and child development. This international perspective allows me to approach therapy with a culturally sensitive and inclusive mindset, ensuring that each individual feels understood and supported.

      Fluent in Mandarin, Korean, and English, I am able to offer therapy in a variety of languages, providing a comfortable and open environment for individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.

      Whether you’re a child, adolescent, or adult, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions, address challenges, and work toward lasting personal growth.

      About Me (she/her)

        Life’s challenges can often leave individuals feeling overwhelmed, lost, or disconnected from their true selves. This pain, whether it stems from trauma, anxiety, or relationship difficulties, can feel isolating and unmanageable.

        By integrating a Dialectical Behavior Therapy informed approach with narrative therapy, clients can learn to understand and manage their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and transform their personal stories into ones of empowerment and growth. With a focus on radical acceptance, emotional regulation, and meaning-making, clients are supported in rebuilding resilience and finding new ways to approach life’s obstacles.

        If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and reclaiming your narrative, reach out today to begin the journey toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

          I’m Aleena Portugal, a Maryland-licensed therapist dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate life’s challenges and thrive.

          I specialize in trauma, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders.

          About Me

            Hello there! I am Jiayu, and I’m professionally licensed in DC and Maryland. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology at Capital Normal University in my home country. With a strong sense of curiosity to learn more about different cultures, I decided to attend graduate school in the United States and earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling George Washington University at Washington DC.

            Life is beautiful and full of challenges, and sometimes it can be difficult and lonely to deal with everything by yourself. I believe that everyone is unique and have the strength to heal from difficult situations. My aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share as well as to be a listening ear and a compassionate support during our time together in therapy and help you uncover clarity, resilience, and balance.

            I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I value cultural sensitivity and I use an integrative approach to therapy because everyone is different and have unique needs. I believe in the power of building genuine connections with my clients. I use a strength-based approach to help my clients and family heal and thrive. I also incorporate expressive art-based and play-based approaches into my work since talking is not always the language for everyone.
