At the beginning of…read moremy time with him, I was dissatisfied with many parts of my life, and I was unclear of the reasons why. Duncan helped me on a path of self discovery that helped me realize some of the root causes of my self-esteem and relationship issues, and we worked on tools I could use to navigate those in the future. I've been to a few therapists before, and Duncan was the best by far. He was the first therapist I saw who seemed to really "get" what was going on with me below the surface. He's an excellent listener and would reference things we talked about weeks or months before. He also challenged my thinking in a constructive way. Lastly, I appreciated his balance between listening, asking me questions, and sharing his insight. I felt much better after every session.

She really tells you what the issues are and I had a very positive first experience with her. She's straight forward and she used the Gottman's as a foundation to help guide and navigate situations for couples. I've only had one session so far but I feel very validated and heard. The office offers garage parking (free for the first 2 hours). It's beautiful and right in the heart of pike n rose.

Shortly after college, I relocated to DC to start my new life. Long story short, I ran into many…read moreobstacles in my first year here that took a huge toll on me as an individual. I tried multiple times to seek therapy but was never contacted by most of the practices I reached out to, and the ones that I did hear from were not in-network with my insurance carrier. After being discouraged, I stopped seeking help for almost a year and tried dealing with things on my own. When that eventually failed, I contacted Compass Rose and heard from Christian immediately. After explaining my situation to Christian on the phone and confirming they were an in-network provider (FINALLY), I started weekly sessions with him and it was exactly what I needed! I have continued working with Christian for the past few years, and I highly recommend him and his practice. Oct 2025 Update - it's been a little over 5 years of seeing Christian and things are going as well as they can be. I've made lots of progress towards the person I want to be while also now having the tools to do so effectively. I have no plans of stopping my sessions anytime soon.

My therapeutic journey with Christian was a very positive experience that helped me grow personally…read moreand professionally. It helped me improve personal relationships and offered a space for personal reflection and growth. I started before the pandemic, which proved incredibly helpful through those uncertain times, and continued well beyond as I navigated the challenges life throws at us at the macro level and day to day personal level. I am grateful for the support I received across the board and am a better spouse, father, son, sibling, friend, etc. because of it.

I sought Well Marriage Center for relationship counseling as a single woman. Working with a…read moretherapist helped me develop a better relationship with myself. I learned to be honest and kind to myself, after all, how can you expect to have a good relationship with someone else if you cant love yourself first? I learned to take responsibility for my own feelings, thoughts, actions and personal boundaries. I became more aware of what I am ok and not ok with. I discovered how to be more assertive and better able to make choices that keep me in relationships (or out) where I feel safe and happy am my own priority. I am so grateful for what I've learned and HIGHLY recommend you speak with a counselor here. I have and will continue to recommend people to them! Thanks for helping me love me! Edits: Spelling

Regarding: Marc Patience of Well Marriage Center. Danger…read more Stay away. It is never OK (in the absence of violence/drugs/alcohol/infidelity) for the marriage counselor to discuss marriage-ending (and related "deal-breaker" questions). What I need in the marriage is a cooperative partnership. I trusted Marc Patience to bring balance, but he repeatedly validated Wife's passive aggressive behavior, and pushed me back for my opposition. And now, Wife contemptuously repeats Marc's words at me.

Her caring style and warm personality immediately made me feel welcome. I looked forward to seeing her because she helped me discover things about myself that allowed me to live a more balanced life. She would challenge me, and allow me to think of things in other ways, which helped me have better and more healthy perspectives on many situations. After every session I had with her I left feeling lighter and enlightened. I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who has concerns about themselves as individuals or their relationships.

I always have appointments with Jennifer, who is an awesome therapist!

After hours of searching online, we found Laurel Fay & Associates and decided to reach out because of the positive reviews. We were pleasantly surprised at how helpful the assistant, Maggie, was and how quickly she got us on Jennifer's schedule for a consultation. We were confident that we wanted Jennifer as our therapist after speaking with her on the phone for our consultation. So far, we've seen Jennifer for approximately 15 sessions. I can confidently say that my husband and I have a healthier relationship because of the tools that Jennifer provided us with. This has probably been one of the best investments we've made and we thank Jennifer for that. She is highly skilled at what she does and there are many times where I walk out of the sessions impressed with her training. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for marriage and family therapy.

She probes and poses hypotheses only after asking your permission, but her insight is quite often spot on and always thoughtful and thought-provoking. I have felt so much security and greater peace since working with her on a weekly basis for the past few months. This is despite turmoil, anxiety relating to a health diagnosis/disorder, and general upheaval in my current life! Dr. Turer helps to keep me calm, focused, and feeling positive as well as self-aware -- not mutually exclusive qualities, as it turns out. I have nothing but praise, appreciation, and thanks to her. I am grateful for her unwavering support and counsel. I highly recommend her. As an added bonus for those who might find this appealing: she is downright hilarious. All in all, a talented, well-meaning, and terrific psychologist.
