Getting to know Waltrina Stancell
Hello and Welcome! My name is Waltrina. I am an independently licensed clinician in Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, with over ten years of experience in mental health and addiction counseling. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Boston University and am also a graduate of Howard University. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My approach is person-centered, emphasizing the importance of the therapist/client relationship, combined with cognitive behavioral techniques to explore thought patterns related to challenging emotions and behaviors.
I provide a warm and safe environment for clients to process their thoughts and feelings, working collaboratively to identify and mediate stressors. I am a strong advocate for self-care and guide clients in understanding the importance of caring for themselves while managing life’s challenges.
Taking the first steps to begin therapy can be difficult. I look forward to collaborating with you, understanding your experiences, and supporting your personal goals. I look forward to hearing from you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During the first session, we get to know each other. I share more information related to my background and therapeutic experiences. I gather information from you about what brings you to therapy and discuss preliminary goals for the therapy process.

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.
