I have someone out in McLean I can recommend. Not in the least Metro-accessible, so maybe a dealbreaker.

a bunch of friends see someone who may be just what you're looking for. do you have a preference in terms of the gender of your therapist? (i know some people care).

Response by poster: Thanks to those who've responded so far. For clarification, I am male, but have no gender preferences. Anywhere in DC would be okay, but I don't own a car, so metro access is a necessity.

Sorry, can't link from this computer, but there ya go. I don't have a specific therapist in mind, but you can doctor shop a bit there, if needed.
