Tessa Wimberley (she/her)

I am a licensed psychologist based in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Florida, completed my doctoral internship at the University of Florida’s Counseling and Wellness Center, and a post-doctoral fellowship with an emphasis in clinical training and supervision at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have over 10 years of education, training, and professional experience in university, community mental health, and outpatient treatment settings. I use an integrative therapy approach to uniquely fit your needs as you grow and heal over time. I have found that blending interpersonal, psychodynamic, multicultural-feminist, mindfulness-based, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives tends to be helpful for many clients. I am committed to actively evolving and working from a diversity of clinical frameworks as a practicing psychologist — this benefits you directly when I bring new learning to our work together!

Societal systems of power and inequity (e.g. racism, sexism, heterosexism, etc.) have significant impact on our individual mental health and collective wellness. I view understanding, navigating, and working to dismantle frameworks of oppression as essential to providing ethical, informed, and effective care to you and the community. I am actively attentive to my own process of identity development outside of our therapy space. I am committed to engage in our therapy relationship with my fullest capacity for authenticity, accountability, and awareness.
