Giovonni Hinton, LICSW, LCSW

Psychotherapist
DC
Welcome! I'm Giovonni- a poet, writer, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified OCD and Anxiety specialist serving residents in DC, MD, and VA. As a multicultural lesbian, I am dedicated to creating safe and affirming spaces for healing within communities of color and LGBTQ+ individuals. If you aren't experiencing anxiety or OCD, I would not be the right clinician for you. Allow me to visually paint a picture for you of what it's like to experience anxiety or OCD using a poem. Anxiety: There is a hum beneath everything I do. Restless. On edge. My mind scanning for threats that probably aren't there probably. I snap. I tense. I lie awake untangling the same worry I untangled last night. I smile fine. I function...barely. I am fine. The hum disagrees. Six months of this. Maybe more. The body keeps the score even when I pretend it doesn't. The Loop (OCD): Did I lock it? I locked it. But did I really? The thought arrives like a verdict intrusive, unwanted, wearing my voice. So I check. I count. I do it again and again until again feels safe. It never feels safe. Not contamination, not the door, not the stove it's the uncertainty I cannot hold. The ritual buys me sixty seconds of quiet before the loop loads again. I am not my thoughts. But they haven't learned that yet.
