Professional statement

Dr. Abby LePage is a Psychologist in Washington, DC who specializes in depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and general life transitions. Clients often seek treatment with Dr. LePage when they feel they are struggling with some aspect of their life. For some, it may be difficult to point to exactly what’s going wrong. For others, it's simply have a vague sense that things just aren’t going the way they want them to. Dr. LePage understands that no matter if you have a clear picture of what you wish to work on or instead feel like you just need a place to explore you thoughts and feelings, therapy is a great way to work through this distress.

Dr. LePage's training in psychodynamic theory has helped her understand the impact that our early lives and experiences can have on our current problems. Sometimes, the distress we feel is the result of habits, behaviors, and thought patterns we learned early on. These may have once been useful, but now leave us feeling “stuck” and unhappy. She believes that through exploring your early experiences and better understanding how these habits, behaviors, and thought patterns came to be, you can develop new, more adaptive ones. This is ultimately what brings about lasting change, what removes the obstacles from your path and allows you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life. 

A large part of Dr. LePage's work has focused on sitting with individuals experiencing grief. It is an unfortunate truth that we often do not allow people experiencing a loss the space to talk about their grief, the conflicted emotions that they find themselves cycling through each day, each moment. If you are going through a loss right now, you might find yourself bottling up your feelings and presenting yourself as “ok” to others, even when your grief is all you can think about, the only thing you feel. Therapy can be that one space in your life where you don’t have to be “ok,” where you can be sad, angry, lonely, guilty. Dr. LePage knows that while therapy will not make your grief go away, it will give you the space to talk about what you’re going through, to remember your loved one, and to start to feel less alone with your feelings. 


Message to clients

There are so many reasons why you might find yourself here right now. Maybe you have been feeling out of control and unable to manage your emotions. Maybe you have noticed a disconnect in your relationships. Or maybe you find yourself struggling with moving forward in some part of your life. All of this is understandable and a normal part of being human. While it might feel like nothing can change or be different for you, the very fact that you are here speaks to some part of you that believes change is possible.

In therapy I give my patients the space to voice their experiences and concerns. Often, the very act of naming our troubles can bring a sense of relief—we are finally being heard. I also challenge my patients on their firmly held beliefs, as this can often lead to realizations and insights that set the groundwork for change. Therapy can be nerve wracking, even if you’ve sought help in the past. Because of this, I see my role as providing you with the support and encouragement you need. I am there with you, walking the same path and helping you find patterns and connections as they become clear. I value the trust you place in me as your therapist, your willingness to be open in our sessions and discuss emotional and vulnerable topics. My goal is to make sure that you feel supported enough to move forward with this (often difficult) work.
