Getting to know Essence Washington

Hi, I'm Essence, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, mother, doula, and owner of HER Healing. I understand the realities of juggling life's many responsibilities while trying to care for yourself in the process. Clients often describe me as warm, relatable, and supportive. I create a space where you can feel heard, gain clarity, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.\n\nMy approach is compassionate, collaborative, and focused on helping women find balance, healing, and sustainable wellness. I believe therapy should be both supportive and practical, providing a space to process life's challenges while developing tools that can be applied in everyday life. Whether you're navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, motherhood, relationship concerns, or simply feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, I strive to meet you where you are and support you at a pace that feels right for you.\n\nTogether, we'll build on your strengths, explore the experiences that have shaped you, and create a path forward that aligns with your values, goals, and vision for your life.

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.
