Anisley Valdes

Anisley Valdes

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. I strive to create a warm, thoughtful, and collaborative space where clients can bring all parts of themselves without fear of judgment. My style is compassionate, curious, and relational, I pay close attention not only to what is happening in your life, but also to how your emotional experiences have been shaped over time and how they live in the body, relationships, and inner world.

I work especially well with individuals navigating identity, belonging, life transitions, relational struggles, existential questions, and the impact of cultural or intergenerational experiences. As someone deeply attuned to the experiences of first-generation and immigrant communities, I understand how culture, family expectations, and systems can shape emotional life in complex ways.

I see therapy as a partnership. Rather than positioning myself as someone who has all the answers, I aim to walk alongside clients with honesty, care, and curiosity as we make sense of patterns, emotions, and experiences together.

Hawley Campbell

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • District of Columbia


I don't go through the motions — I go the extra mile. That's been true for 25 years, and it's the standard I hold myself to with every single person I work with.

I'm Hawley Jennifer Campbell — a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with clinical experience spanning Women's Health, Obstetrics, Emergency Medicine, and psychiatric care. I specialize in ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, PTSD, insomnia, and perinatal mental health.

My clients leave feeling heard, understood, and finally clear on what's been driving how they feel.

Whether you're looking for medication management, collaborative care with your therapist, or you're just starting out or ready to go deeper — I'd love to connect.

Joanne Assarsson

Joanne Assarsson

Therapist

Virtual • District of Columbia


As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
