The Ross Center is excellent and has several locations. Have been very happy with them. Also, good for you! Mental health IS health! Took me way too long to understand that.

If you need something affordable, check out the James J. Gray Psychotherapy Training Clinic offered through American University. There will likely be a waitlist. The therapists are supervised grad students working toward earning their license. I got to work with a wonderful therapist who helped with a lot of skill-building and CBT exercises. Fyi, the sessions are recorded, but HIPAA still applies (locked cabinets, only seen by certain people, destroyed after they're viewed, etc). Just something to consider. They'll go over all of the details with you at intake.

I mean, there are literally multiple studies that show it has a positive effect on mental health. I'm not saying this replaces seeing a psychologist, but rather that it is a real and important part of mental health.

I see a psychiatrist at [Potomac Psychiatry](https://www.potomacpsychiatry.com/). I've been going to them for years, and I'm just doing semiannual meds checks at this point, but I know I have someone if I need a therapist fast.
