Dr. Ziva BenEzra, PsyD

(She/Her)

About Me

I have an international background and bring a multicultural lens to my work with diverse clientele. I am a collaborative and compassionate therapist who will partner with you to work through challenges that hold you back. EMDR Therapy is sometimes utilized as a stand alone treatment or else incorporated within talk therapy. Where fitting, I integrate EMDR with a variety of complimentary evidence-based therapies to best meet your goals. These therapies may include: Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy, attachment and relationally focused psychotherapies, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness and cognitive behavioral approaches.

Education & Experience

I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience providing psychotherapy, supervision, and clinical consultation for adults and couples from a variety of backgrounds. I began my graduate training in clinical psychology in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and completed graduate and post-graduate training in Boston, Massachusetts. I've enjoyed practicing in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area since 2012.
