Eric Ndichu

Therapist

Congratulations! You have taken the first step towards your wellness journey. I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist serving clients in District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients and create a supporting environment to work on whatever issues of concerns. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients address depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, mood, relationship and transition issues. My treatment methods Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) I work with you to understand how your thoughts are affecting how you feel and act. We identify maladaptive thoughts and replace them with reasoned alternative and helpful thoughts. Motivational Interviewing Through motivational interviewing, we work collaboratively, as I utilize person centered form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. Mindfulness-Based Therapy Through this method, I utilize mindfulness practices that include present moment awareness, meditation, and breathing exercises. I will teach you be in "the here and now" as well as break away from negative thought patterns that can cause a decline into a mood-disordered state. Trauma Informed Care This method involves accounting my clients’ trauma and its impact on their behavior, mental health, and ability to engage in treatment. As a therapist, I assume that you could have a trauma history and I will take steps to avoid inadvertently triggering or re-traumatizing you in the course of treatment. Supportive Utilizing this method, I provide emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances or psychological challenges. I will encourage you to talk about your feelings, concerns, and problems in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I may also offer practical advice or guidance on how to address specific issues.
