Washington, D.C. · Cushing Counseling
Contact our Washington, D.C. sex therapy practice
The District office is on L Street NW, a few blocks from Farragut North, Dupont Circle and the K Street corridor, so a session can sit inside a working day rather than swallow it. District residents are seen under District law rather than referred across the river. Confidentiality anxiety runs higher here than almost anywhere: clients in politics, law, journalism, the agencies and the military often will not sit in a waiting room in the city where they work, so secure video is available anywhere in the District on exactly the same terms — for many people it is the reason they finally started.

Questions before you get in touch
What is the fastest way to reach Cushing Counseling in Washington, D.C.?
Book the free 15-minute consultation at https://calendly.com/d/ctw5-3nw-gzg — it is faster than email because you pick a time and you are done. If you would rather speak to a person first, call or text (703) 544-7081 or email vanessa@cushingcounseling.com.
How quickly will I hear back?
Weekday and evening appointments, in person on L Street NW or by secure video across the District. Messages are read by a person, not a bot, and answered within one business day.
Can I be seen in person?
Yes. In-person sessions are held at 1660 L St NW Suite 308, Washington, DC 20036, and video is available anywhere in Washington, D.C. if that is easier.
Do I have to explain everything on the first call?
No. Say as much or as little as you want. Plenty of people book because something feels off and they cannot name it yet — that is a completely normal place to start.
Are you licensed in Washington, D.C.?
Yes. Licensed Professional Counselor in the District of Columbia. Licensure follows the state you are physically in during the session, not where the therapist is, so Washington, D.C. sessions are held under District law.
Is my message confidential?
Yes. Messages and voicemails are seen only by the practice, and nothing you write is shared with an insurer, an employer or anyone else. We are out-of-network, which is part of why privacy here is simpler than it is elsewhere.
Or send a message
Four fields. It lands with the practice, not a call centre, and Eimy answers within one business day. Prefer to skip the typing? Book the free consultation instead.
