Hello, I’m Stephanie Gilbert. I am a mental health therapist licensed in both Washington, DC, and Maryland. Additionally, I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.

Among my areas of expertise, I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults. I primarily utilize techniques from the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) perspective as well as from the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) approach, but I modify my work to best suit the needs of my clients. I strongly believe in the rapport-building process and feel that a positive, trusting relationship is ultimately the key to growth.

I have worked in this field for almost 10 years in a variety of roles and settings. My experience includes providing direct therapy services, mediating crisis situations, and administering neuropsychological assessments of clients for schools, homes, community-based organizations, and group practices. I have also supervised interns and other mental health professionals. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to use my skills and knowledge to support YOU in my own practice.

I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland and a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Human Development from the University of Maryland Honors College. Growing up and working in the “DMV” area has not only provided me with a wealth of insight on the stressors that can arise when living in a fast-paced, pressure-filled environment but also with myriad information on mental health services available to help my clients overcome these difficulties.

On a more personal note, I enjoy trying out new restaurants in the city, hiking in Rock Creek Park, attending sporting events (go Terps!), indulging in Bravo tv shows, and embracing lazy days at home with my husband and son.
