Joan helped me through a lot in my life. As an adolescent,…read moreI'd seen a lot of therapists- particularly because I'd had a rough time. Growing into adulthood is a struggle for anyone, and I was having a rough time. You meet people that care, and then you meet people that both care and can engage you. The latter is Joan Normandy-Dohlberg. Not only did Joan make me feel comfortable & safe to express my feelings (& share my deepest darkest,) but she engaged me in a way I knew I was heard & felt I could accomplish more & do better for myself- no judgment, no falsity. She helped me every step of the way, ESPECIALLY when I was in my own way. As someone who's seen a lot of therapists in the greater Burke/DMV area, I want to be clear that I am leaving this review as a GLOWING review of Ms. Dr. Joan Normandy-Dolberg-- and you'll be hard-pressed to find a better therapist than her.

I have been seeing Joan Normandy-Dolberg for the past year and she has helped me make SIGNIFICANT…read moreprogress in dealing with an abusive childhood and depression. She is very knowledgeable and uses different methods to help you cope and understand your feelings and so you can process a painful past and not let it impinge on the rest of your life. She is a great listener but unlike another therapist I had in the past, she doesn't just listen and tell you its "normal", she actually discusses how it's affecting you and ways to lessen it's impact on your mental health. She uses EMDR, a therapy that helped me SO much by lessening the pain of past trauma and now the remembrances of these events is much more infrequent and does not cause high levels of anxiety. You can ask my husband, my life has vastly improved since I started seeing Joan. Karen, her office manager, is very sweet and friendly and it is just such a great environment. If you are in need of a genuine, caring and highly qualified counselor, I highly recommend Joan.

Minister Kia Durham officiated our wedding, and we could not have asked for a more spiritually…read moregrounded or inspiring presence. She carries a deep and genuine connection to God that is evident in every word she speaks and every moment she leads. Her ministry is thoughtful, sincere, and guided by faith, and she kept God at the center of everything throughout our time with her. Kia has a remarkable ability to create an atmosphere filled with peace, reverence, and true spiritual significance. She does not simply perform a ceremony--she brings a heartfelt, prayerful presence that transforms the experience into something sacred. Her grace, compassion, and devotion to God shine through in everything she does. We wholeheartedly recommend Minister Kia Durham to anyone seeking an officiant who is spiritually led, uplifting, and wholly committed to honoring God in the union of marriage. She was a blessing to us, and we are deeply grateful for her.

I had trouble figuring out how to log in for the appointment and called the office saying I hadn't gotten the link and they said I was too late logging in from their website and was charged a no-show fee of $175. The second time, I had an emergency at my home and called the office to say I was logged in, but again, was told I missed the appointment and was charged a no-show fee of $175. I tried to explain what happened to Veronica Doran but she is as heartless as they come. I won't be returning. Do yourself a favor and find a more caring practice.

Her level of knowledge, understanding, and adaptability is beyond measure. Our son sees her once per week, but she is always checking in, and always attentive when I bring up things his teacher or doctor thinks he could use work on. She has met with my older children (7 and 9) as well, and they just love talking with her. She has helped my husband and I as well, on how to provide positive reinforcement, while still getting our son to do what he needs to do. I can only speak for children at this point, but if you have a child that would benefit from behavioral or talk therapy, she is a must see!
