19 Best Psyd Programs In Washington, DC (2022 Updated)

I applied here and got in but communicating with my admissions counselor was very difficult. I asked her several times about financial aid and if I would receive any. When I DID get a hold of her she just told me that she's been very busy and to call back later. Which I did, she did not answer, and instead of answering my question she left me and my high school counselor a voice mail asking us to call her once again later. Honeslty never have seen worse student support from admissions counselor.Lucia Cova

While the food was descent, the service was so so. Once the cashier finally paid attention to us and we were able to order, she was very friendly. But prior to taking our order, she continued to talk to another employee and chat about non work stuff and ignore customers. The sweet potato fries and grasshopper shake were very good.Anthony Scott

Smack in the middle of D.C. it is the place to be if you're not a chump. It has top notch policy schools and other departments are great as well. The metro is also right there in the middle of the campus and you can get a university pass that'll make your travels free if you're a student. So don't delay, join today.ubdussamad

I have had the distinct pleasure of supervising Dr. Natalie Chaykin during her two year internship at the Jefferson Headache Center in Philadelphia. I can say without reservation that Dr. Chaykin is highly skilled in a variety interventions for chronic pain and insomnia like biofeedback, relaxation training, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She is extremely committed and genuinely invested in her clients. I am thrilled to have her as a referral source in the DC metro area.Caryn Seebach

I am a licensed therapist who specializes in working with clients with eating disorders, and I have had the pleasure of sharing clients with Annyck Besso, RD several times. She is warm, compassionate, and very competent both in her knowledge of nutrition and in how she approaches each client where they are. It is so helpful to have such a skilled dietician close by that I can always trust to provide quality and respectful care to my clients!Meredith Luttrell

I am an LCSW who specializes in DBT cases and I have had the pleasure of sharing clients with disordered eating with Annyck Besso, RD. She is incredible knowledgeable, smart, compassionate and relatable. She was very collaborative and we were in constant communication especially for complicated cases. She also made sure interventions were meeting target goals. I highly recommend her services.Sarahi Gutierrez

I am reading through all of the great reviews about this establishment but, how is it this company can so carelessly dismiss people. Tony and Christy Herndon put everything they into welcoming a child into loving family. There is no one I know more deserving of a child. It was wrong this establishment to take that away from them without any explanation. To think that there are children that don't have anyone to love them or care for them, there is a loving home available. To add insult to injury you crush there hope and dreams just days before they were to receive a child. The only to they ask is why? The explanation they recieved was met excuses and cover ups. How did we get here Boys Town, How? THE HERNDONS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHY THEY WERE DENIED!!! #JUSTICEFORTHEHERNDONSKrystle Suesbury

Tony and Christy Herndon, have been supportive of me and my family. When my step mother passed, when my kids where sick, when I lost my job, when I struggled with my multiple sclerosis they where by my side. So when I heard how they where treated by Boys Town it may me cry. I know First Lady wanted children. And they where promised to be surrogate parents and even started the process and it was just taking away from them. Seeing First Lady cry broke my heart. Someone needs to be held accountable for the lack of communication and answers to WHY.Tracey Anderson

Tony and Christy Herndon, Pastor and first Lady of Grace nation Ministry was treated horribly wrong by Boys Town. They was promised to be surrogate parents but was denied just 3 days before starting date without an answer. This was their dream. But it was cut down just days before. Nothing was done wrong on the part of Tony and Christy Herndon. So to be turned down so suddenly without any explanation was just wrong. Someone needs to be held accountable.James

After a stressful move to Washington DC couples counseling was definitely called for and my physician referred Dr. Radkowsky for couples therapy. Very helpful. The sessions can be tough but we're not missing the hostility, frustration and deadlock. We're very comfortable with Michael, who somehow both puts us at ease AND pushes each of us to be a much better spouse. I think the best part of our couples counseling sessions is that we're really learning to recognize our own part in our squabbles and learning some great ways to get a grip and behave way better toward each other. As a result, it's easier to stop fighting and we're arguing much less in the first place. We are a lot closer and much happier, and I think I can speak for both of us that we're feeling resentful toward each other a lot less frequently. Neither of us misses the resentment. I'd say that couples therapy with Michael is saving our marriage.Robert Andrews

Michael is an excellent therapist and I’m thrilled to refer individuals and couples to him. I’ve known him for over 15 years through shared supervision groups and workshops, and I’m always impressed with the enormous care, curiosity, integrity and intelligence he brings to his work with his clients. He’s outrageously smart, making creative psychological connections that others might miss. And he’s going to challenge you to work, with compassion! Elizabeth Perwin, LCSW-C, Silver Spring, MDElizabeth Perwin

Although I have not had the good fortune to be seen by Dr. Radkowsky, I find the advice he offers through his column in The Blade to be immensely helpful in not just my relationships but my life in general. His insight into the complex issues that arise when two people unite is remarkable! He offers his readers sound advice and encouragement while gently guiding them towards self awareness and healing. If given the opportunity I would absolutely have Dr. Michael as my psychologist!LAUREL HARLEY

I absolutely love being a Forensic Psychology student here. The professors are engaging, give great feedback, and really want you to learn. The program has a focus on multiculturalism & diversity which is perfect for students looking for more experience in this area. Located one block from the Metro.Michelle Bender

Dr. Lynn Friedman has a unique blend of clinical brilliance and relatable warmth that results in her talent and her helping those fortunate to work with her. She is a highly skilled and committed psychologist, psychoanalyst, career counselor, professor and a mentor to many psychotherapists at all phases of their careers. I have had the privilege of working closely with her and find her capacity for insight, inspiring. Dr. Friedman helps people with an array of issues, understand themselves deeply so that they are free to live their fullest lives. I confidently refer to Dr. Friedman and recommend her highly.Noreen Honeycutt

Dr. Lynn Friedman is a gifted psychologist, psychoanalyst and career counselor. If you are looking for a clinician in Washington, DC, she's uniquely qualified in the overlap between psychotherapy and career development. She is knowledgeable about anxiety, depression, relationships, and vocational psychology. I hired her as a consulting psychologist in the past and found her to be clinically astute, thoughtful, and effective. She is particularly strong in psychodynamic understanding of the role of the unconscious. I recommend her highly.Janet Scarborough Civitelli

Had a great Monday evening here! The Malbec (2015 Le Croizillon) was good for the price per pour ($13). The Crispy Chicken Sandwich was a steal given the other prices on the menu ($7 for double stacked pounded, breaded, and fried chicken). Be sure to ask for the bar popcorn, it comes spiced. Abby was my bartender and she was great with both knowing the wines and keeping a good conversation. I look forward to coming back and getting a drink or 2 from Abby!G B

Paul Robison does AMAZING work. His body work is top-notch, but he also takes the time to really understand the context of your physical issues and makes sure to work on the root cause, without judgement. Have and will continue to recommend him to everyone, even though it makes it harder for me to get an appointment with him!Michael Henry

Stop it Google! I've worked here for 8 years and all of a sudden you're asking me DAILY to review a place I've been REPEATEDLY for the past EIGHT YEARS? Get your algorithm sorted out and stop wasting my time.James Hampton

Beautiful campus with nice open space & convenient access from Brookland/CUA Metro Station. We walked through the campus from Metro to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.Abi M.

Impressive cathedral but the rest is pretty soulless and the laundrette washing machine broke down with all my clothes in.Paul Harness

Howard University is in the process of changing, improving and increasing their level of services they offer their community. GoodLove this place. Had a good experience here. Enjoyed the homecoming Saturday with my daughter. I missed my high school's homecoming but enjoyed Howard's. Sorry DCs Dunbar had to go to the Mecca.Great institution for higher learning. Homecoming 2019 was fun, except for the score of the game.This campus was really nice. The college presentation was concise and thorough. The presenter seemed knowledgeable and engaging.It seems to be a great place offering a lot of opportunities for young adults of color. Our tour guide was a young lady who is a senior at the school and she was so articulate and presented the information in a way that conveyed her knowledge of the school and also how much you really enjoyed going there. The students on the campus all seemed very happy and friendly.Pratima Sarojwal

Today I went to drop off my niece who’s continuing her second year of pre-med. the experience was amazing. I love how supportive the staff is. They have smooth transition process during moving in season. They were very well organized and had keys, moving carts, parking permits and guidance everywhere. I noticed that minorities are the majority at Howard. Diversity is embraced and everyone is welcomed and respected. I loved how they have sanitation stations everywhere fondue to Covid-19. The application process is easy and they financial aid staff is very helpful. Howard university os affordable and well known school. The dorms are spacious and private. Kitchen is well organized and the bathroom is huge. Campus was a little crowded because it was moving in day, but it was so organized that by 2pm everyone was situated and the streets were cleaned. I recommend this university.Madame Dabo

I went to the dental school to be evaluated for new dentures. The students and professors are very knowledgeable. They treat you gently and respectfully. As they evaluate and work on you, they explain everything that they are doing. I've been going there off and on since the 1980's. They have walk-in service also. Call for information of days and times. Best of all the fees are very very reasonable. And if you need financial help they try to help you obtain it. Bottom line; help the students and help yourself.Monica White-Gant

I am a current student at Trinity Washington University and I definitely don’t feel the same way about this school, as i did a few months ago when I started. The school isn’t the worst but I would not say that you get the feeling of a good college experience. I am currently thinking about transferring to another school. So that I don’t create a long review for others to read I will give a bullet overview of what does on/why i want to leave: – The administration as a whole are not very cooperative, nor do they know how to really help you. Advisors just repeat the same information that you could have found in the Trinity website. – The food is NOT good. I have seen dining hall workers take food from the dining hall and take it over to the deli which is one building away and charge more for it. They give you a better sandwich if your using flex dollars, but they give a basic sandwich if your using your meal plan. – Security is not consistent, they pretty much let anyone on campus and don’t ask the necessary questions before having a car proceed to drop off/pick up or parking. – There are no water fountains in the freshman dorm, which i feel is a health hazard. I feel, if they can get a dollar out of me then they will. It’s either $1.25 – 1.75 for a bottle of water in the freshman building, and Laundry is $1.50 to dry and another $1.50 to dry. My first semester of freshman year it was clear that the dean didn’t like my professor so she would try and get us to say things negating about her, she would observe her teaching more than i’ve ever seen, and before the second semester was to start she quit. Trinity is nice in the brochures, and online, but if you come here you will soon realize unfortunately everything is not as it seems.ANNA

I really thought coming to this school I was going to thrive and get my degree. However after coming here my experience is bad, the counselors here don't know how to help you. There are multiple things I could say about this school, however simply put this school is horrible. After barely finishing my first year here, I have fallen into a deep state of depression. Do not go here unless you live off campus, and even then make sure it is your last option .I have been going here and am finally about to transfer to Montgomery college just to get away from this school. Please listen and do not go here.n Jjo

I have nothing nice at all to say about this awful school. Well, the professors are good and caring. The school administration is the worst! although I am only a few semesters away from graduating with a 3.8 GPA or better, I absolutely regret going here. I wish I could change my alma mater. I am ashamed of being a "soon to be" graduate from this school. I will NEVER recommend this place to a prospective student. I have NO desire to ever participate in any Trinity related alum activities… If they ever reach out to me, I will do all I can to NOT use profanity when saying "HELL NO!"Xavier Hodge

I have very talented colleagues and friends who graduated from Georgetown University, so I always wanted to visit this school. The campus is very beautiful, especially with the fall foliage. It’s a nice half-day trip to visit the university, the shopping area (mainly on M Street), the canal and the waterfront park. The football field is a bit small, but overall, it’s a beautiful campus!Da-Wang Wu

I love seeing this campus from the walking across the key bridge but this time I decided to visit the local university near me. It was very classic and historical campus. Nice grounds and great castle like halls. Love going to TedEx talks at this university as well. Great campus and good university. Come explore the campus if you are in the Georgetown area!Brian Copes

I do not come to school here but it's a must place to visit and see in person!!! The buildings are so beautiful and massive. It's breathtaking. The surrending place to grab food is amazing and you can bring it back and either sit in the rocking chairs or picnic tables they have or bring a blanket and lay under a tree and relax!! It's so nice!!lilian gonzalez

Stayed here in the summer of 2005 for my internship in Washington DC and the experience was absolutely fabulous with the dining halls and the gym being my favorites. No complaints at all and excellent customer service from the residence hall staff. I sometimes wish I studied Accounting at this university than at the one I studied at. Great school and great residence halls. Highly recommend! A+Praveen Sriram

It's an average college, no particular major that's really standout around the country or the world. Courses are not that challenged compare to some other higher ranking schools and that probably explains why graduates don't get the best careers, you get what you work for. One thing should be mentioned is that dorms have a lot of rats.cat wu

My friend is away at a summer camp and given the precarious infrastructure of your so called "university" has no wifi. He is unable to communicate with friends and family. This is outrageous, its unfair. Please fix this ASAP.Santiago Tovar

Great campus and even better institution for the deaf/hard of hearing. I visited the campus after taking a class in ASL because I was just very interested and wanted to explore the famous university itself! They use American Sign Language as their first language. Gallaudet University is truly a safe and open space for the deaf/hard of hearing. It's also located in a great spot and many people living in DC actually know how to sign!Maria

At the warml sunny,, I have been visited around the beautiful Campus of Gallaudet University from 1:30 pm to 4:35 pm yesterday. That's my beloved mother school because I came to study the college education in Washington DC (the main Capital of nation) in September 7th from Shanghai, China. Also, the visiting once since two years ago. Therefore, I still love my mother's Gallaudet University!Hongyou Xu

My visits to the University was to support my cousin from Metairie Louisiana whose plays football and track for them. Galladuet University community is great, l love seeing them participate in all sporting activities as any other universities/college. It's a great school for the deaf and hard of hearing. I'm happy he selected to attend Galladuet University.Patricia Hamilton-Ross

Wsp, their initials, is a fine training institution for interpersonal/psychodynamic therapy, more than 80 years old. They also have a low-fee clinic for those seeking therapy.Theodore Richards

If you are in need of a therapist or mental health services, this is probably not the best route. Unless you fit their specific agenda, you will likely get little to no response.Ton Layton
