HOPE + WELLNESS — Counselor in Washington, DC

I have been going to Hope & Wellness for several years. First, with the owner, Dr. Victoria, then with Dr. Joi. Working with each of them has been life-changing for me as I've addressed life-long challenges and patterns. Dr. Joi has always made me feel safe and I have never felt judged when sharing very hard and vulnerable things. That may sound like it should be a given, but I've heard from a lot of people over the years that they did not have that experience with practitioners at other companies. I'm so grateful to Dr. Joi and the rest of the staff for the support and overall great experience (including response time, scheduling and other admin tasks). You can tell Dr. Victoria truly does care about helping people and making a positive difference, and hires people who align with that vision!

I had an incredible experience with Dr. Hale, whom I saw for neuropsychological testing and assessment. I felt safe and informed throughout the process. I am forever grateful for each person I've interacted with at Hope + Wellness, a welcoming space that has supported me over the last 4 years.

I wish I could give Hope+Wellness a hundred stars. They worked with me and on my schedule, were patient and helpful, and I felt seen and heard. Dr. Hale performed my assessment and throughout the entire process she made me feel comfortable, and in reviewing the results, she explained her findings in a way that I could understand. Her assessment was extremely thorough and she provided clinical information, references, education, and accommodations in the evaluation that helped me ask for reasonable accommodations at my job. Dr. Hale is wonderful. Hope+Wellness treated me with more respect than so many other psychologists. I will recommend this place forever, and I am so, so grateful I found them.

I've had only wonderful experiences with Hope + Wellness, first with Jamie (until she left the practice) and then with Caroline. Both were incredibly helpful to me as I navigated challenges in my life. I'm so grateful to them both for helping me through those moments and giving me the tools to work through them. Both were so compassionate and thoughtful at every turn. Highly recommend.

Working with Dr.Joi the last 4 years has been one of the best decisions I could have made

Dr. Joi Burnham is amazing!!! Highly recommend.

We had a great experience overall with my son’s school based evaluation during COVID, which expedited the ability to get an IEP for first grade. The practice also takes insurance unlike a lot of local providers.

Taking that first step to seek therapy was one of the scariest decisions I have ever made. I had no idea what to expect-finding the right therapist was just as difficult. I was so fortunate to find Jamie through Hope + Wellness. Jamie was incredible and provided the compassion and understanding I needed at the time. Even though we met virtually I felt as if I was sitting in the same room as her. Whereas Jamie is no longer at Hope + Wellness she helped me realize the impact a positive experience with a therapist can have on my life. I will forever be grateful for that.

Dr. Sciullo has been a fantastic therapist! Would highly recommend Dr. Sciullo and Hope+Wellness. Has been a huge asset in navigating the daily challenges living with a chronic health condition.

I deeply value this practice! My work with Krystal was so helpful and she contributed so meaningfully to my mental health journey.
