I have spent the last 30 years helping thousands of clients heal from emotional pain and find intimacy with the people they love.

I have helped clients turn tragedies, break ups, and pain into opportunities for developing new emotional capacities and new and deeper relationships.

I have helped clients change harmful behavior, speak up and speak out, create healthy relationships, have more intimacy, overcome emotional distance with family members, and create the life they want to live.

I was trained in Social Therapy, a humanistic approach to emotional development, at the East Side Institute for Group and Short-Term Psychotherapy. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and received my training as a social worker from Howard University’s School of Social Work.

I directed the Washington Center for Social Therapy for close to 15 years, becoming well known for my expertise in group therapy, helping couples—both queer and straight, leading clinical workshops and presenting at numerous professional conferences.

I now offer online therapy, where the connection between you and me happens immediately. Online video sessions offer the convenience and privacy of doing therapy from the comfort of your own home or workplace and saves the time and hassle of driving, parking or taking public transportation. To schedule an appointment, email me at skarliner@growandfeelbetter.com or call me at 202-244-0442.

  I have spent the last 30 years helping people transform their emotional, personal, and professional lives – in therapy and the workplace. My overarching focus is the healing nature of connection – with ourselves and each other, at work, home and in community.

I create accepting and challenging environments where we unpack barriers to connection – prejudice, loss, abuse, fear, shame, etc. People from all walks of life are inspired to create something new and powerful, to reconnect with their humanity, build their lives, and, in the process, feel a whole lot better.

I firmly believe that moments of crisis are opportunities for transformation and am proud of my accomplishments in multicultural community development and healing after the terrorist attacks of 9/11/01.

I was trained in Social Therapy, a humanistic approach to emotional development, at the East Side Institute for Group and Short-Term Psychotherapy. I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree from the Columbia University School of Social Work and a bachelor’s degree in women’s studies from the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

I am also the Chief of Child and Family Behavioral Health Services for the City of Alexandria, Virginia, Department of Community and Human Services. We engage youth with serious mental health, substance use or other behaviorandal challenges and/or significant trauma and their families in an array of services.

Thank you for your interest in my work our practice. To find out more, I can be reached at tjbassing@growandfeelbetter.com or 202-244-0442.
