Areas of support
Therapy for international professionals, DC workers, and people carrying a lot quietly
Whether you are working near the World Bank, IMF, IFC, IDB, Foggy Bottom, Farragut, downtown DC, or Dupont Circle, therapy can help you understand what is happening internally and build a steadier way forward.
Anxiety and chronic stress
Therapy can help you work with racing thoughts, physical tension, work-related anxiety, worry loops, panic symptoms, perfectionism, and the pressure to stay composed.
International and expat transitions
We support clients navigating relocation, cultural identity, distance from family, visa or immigration stress, loneliness, adjustment, and the emotional complexity of building a life in DC.
Burnout and professional pressure
High-responsibility work can make it difficult to notice depletion until it affects your sleep, mood, patience, health, or relationships. Therapy helps you identify what needs to change.
Depression and emotional shutdown
If you are functioning at work but feeling flat, isolated, hopeless, or disconnected after hours, therapy can help you understand the depression underneath the productivity.
Relationships and family stress
Therapy can help with communication, boundaries, conflict patterns, dating stress, marriage strain, family expectations, parenting pressure, and the loneliness of handling too much alone.
Major life and career transitions
Promotions, relocations, new leadership roles, caregiving, grief, parenthood, and career decisions can bring up anxiety, identity questions, and the need for a more grounded next step.
Our approach
Therapy that respects your context, not just your symptoms
International and DC-based professionals often become skilled at compartmentalizing. You may be able to lead a meeting, manage a team, care for others, and meet deadlines while privately feeling anxious, depleted, grieving, or disconnected from yourself.
At North Star, therapy is collaborative, thoughtful, and practical. Sessions may draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed therapy, and relational work depending on your needs.
Start with what is actually happening
We begin by understanding your stressors, symptoms, identity, relationships, work demands, cultural context, and what finally made therapy feel important now.
Build tools that work in real life
Therapy can include coping strategies, emotional regulation, communication skills, boundary work, stress planning, self-compassion, and support for changing patterns that no longer serve you.
Create a steadier path forward
The goal is not just to get through the week. It is to help you feel more present, more grounded, and more connected to the life you are trying to build in DC.
