Getting to know Bernard Mungin

I am a psychotherapist who works with a diverse population of people. My goal is to collaborate with individuals to assist them in achieving their therapy goals. My treatment modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and Ericksonian hypnotherapy approaches. Although I use these modalities, I do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. I am a think-out-of-the-box clinician who often challenges clients to try approaches that may be outside their comfort zone. Some examples of my experience include working with individual clients on developing skills to cope with mental health conditions and diagnoses, life stress, finding balance, and improving self-esteem. Although I use these approaches, my clients tell me it feels like we are having a conversation rather than a traditional therapy session. I specialize in working with LGBTQI individuals, men, and people of color, but I work with all people seeking mental health services. I am licensed in DC (LICSW), VA (LCSW), MD (LCSW-C), and PA (LCSW). I hold a Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology and a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities from The Ohio State University, a Master's in Social Work from San Jos? State University, and completed a Post-Masters Fellowship in Mental Health at Stanford University.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
