Connected Psychology

Connected Psychology is dedicated to serving Washington, DC’s most in need. We are committed to facilitating the development of individuals, families, and communities by providing mental health services that address the psychological needs of individuals, who face the impact of poverty and chronic trauma, daily.

Children spend 6 to 8 hours a day, five days a week, in school. Connected Psychology has partnered with schools in Washington, DC to provide in-school services, granting our clinicians the opportunity to have a direct impact on the child’s environment.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are offering services on site and off site throught Telehealth. Teletherapy has given us a unique opportunity to work more closely with families by providing both parenting support and individual therapy to students’ family members. Furthermore, teletherapy has given us the flexibility and platform to branch out to working with other populations within Washington, DC communities, including all age ranges.
