-- Full Self Psychotherapy, a trauma-focused psychotherapy practice located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C., is expanding access to holistic psychotherapy services designed to support deeper, more sustainable healing for individuals seeking therapy that goes beyond surface-level coping. Led by Margot Lamson, LICSW, alongside therapists Molly Michael, LMSW, and Brendan O'Connell, LMSW, the practice provides a trauma-informed, culturally inclusive environment for teens and adults navigating anxiety, self-worth challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. Services are available both in-person at their D.C. office and via secure virtual therapy, extending access to clients throughout Virginia and Maryland.
The practice specializes in trauma therapy in Washington, D.C., offering an integrative, body-centered approach for individuals whose past experiences continue to affect their daily functioning, relationships, and sense of self. This includes support for those navigating the effects of complex trauma, PTSD, dissociation, sexual trauma, and high-stress professions such as first responders. Rather than relying on talk therapy alone, the team prioritizes nervous system regulation and emotional safety, creating space for healing that unfolds at a pace that feels supportive and sustainable.
Full Self Psychotherapy is also recognized for its EMDR therapy, a well-researched, evidence-based modality that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR works by engaging the brain's natural healing capacity, making it particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, and deeply rooted stress responses.
Rounding out the practice's holistic psychotherapy model are two additional modalities: Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, which uses mindful body awareness and movement to release stored tension and calm the nervous system, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), which helps clients develop self-compassion by exploring and healing the internal parts that carry anxiety, shame, and old pain. Together, these approaches form a comprehensive framework for clients ready to move toward meaningful, lasting change.
Full Self Psychotherapy also offers extended therapy sessions and intensives ranging from 90-minute sessions to half-day and multi-day formats. These longer-format sessions create space for deeper, more sustained therapeutic work than traditional weekly therapy often allows, helping clients engage more fully in trauma processing, EMDR, and nervous system-focused work. By reducing the stop-and-start nature of weekly therapy, intensives can help accelerate meaningful insight, emotional processing, and lasting change, with many clients experiencing shifts in a single extended session that might otherwise take weeks or months to unfold.
Full Self Psychotherapy serves a diverse range of clients including exhausted people-pleasers, high-functioning professionals with anxiety, teens navigating identity and emotional challenges, and individuals with ADHD/neurodivergence seeking a therapeutic approach that fits how their minds actually work. The practice is committed to ongoing cultural humility and provides an affirming, safe space for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients.
