Margot Lamson (she/her)

I am a holistic psychotherapist for adolescents and adults, licensed in DC, Virginia, and Maryland. I see clients both virtually and in-person at my office in Dupont Circle. I welcome children 12 yrs+ of all backgrounds, genders, and sexual orientations. With over 10 years of experience, I treat anxiety, depression, and ADHD, as well as trauma and grief and loss. I help my clients connect to their younger selves not only through talk therapy but through their body, to get in touch with feelings that may have not been fully processed. It's a really effective treatment. Using talk therapy, we’ll explore the root causes of your issues and identify the patterns that no longer serve you. Utilizing Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR, you’ll learn to listen to your body’s wisdom and use it as a guide for healing. My clients come to better understand their emotions, where they come from, and how to support them. Let’s access your inner power and strength to create lasting change.

I invite you into a space where you can be authentically you. Therapy with me is not “a one-size-fits-all” in treatment but instead pertains to your specific needs. You are what matters most here. This space is inclusive and welcoming space for all folx. In my practice, I welcome people of all sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, and religions. I believe traditional psychotherapy can often focus on pathologies and fail to consider how trauma and oppression impact an individual. Sometimes, therapy can also place the therapist in the role of power or ‘all-knower.’ In contrast, I firmly believe my clients have the wisdom to know what they need for healing. I see myself as a collaborator in people’s therapeutic journeys. When I am not working, I like to spend time with my friends, family, and beloved cat, Bailey. Some of my favorite ways to recharge are long walks, reading, making candles, playing the viola, engaging with my local synagogue, and traveling.
