Passage Psychology

Life is not a single milestone, but a succession of profound passages: Guiding an anxious adolescent toward adulthood, welcoming a child, navigating a complex diagnosis, caring for aging parents while raising your own family, or enduring unexpected loss. When your family faces strain, there are no shortcuts through the nervous system, and lasting clarity cannot be rushed. At Passage Psychology, we believe meaningful change requires moving through difficult experiences rather than around them. Serving families throughout Silver Spring, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, and the greater DC area, our private practice combines rigorous clinical evaluation with genuine, enduring therapeutic relationships. To ensure your family receives the highest standard of personalized care and absolute confidentiality, Passage Psychology operates on a self-pay model. By choosing not to participate in insurance networks, we protect the integrity of your therapeutic experience. Your family's care is driven entirely by what you actually need. And our doctoral-level clinicians partner directly with you, not an insurance company. This ensures that your treatment timeline, number of sessions, and evaluation criteria are guided entirely by your unique goals and what serves your family best, free from outside restrictions.
