Dr. Drew Permut is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 30 years of professional experience. He believes that counseling works best when it empowers people to mobilize their own strengths to resolve their problems. As a clinical psychologist, my objective is to help you understand your problems from a fresh perspective.
I do this by listening to your thoughts and feelings with a professionally trained ear and communicating in a clear, direct way about what I've heard you reveal to me. This very personal information helps you gain a deeper awareness of your conflicts and true needs. With this knowledge, you can begin to make changes that allow you to live in a more satisfying way.

Services
I have been in private practice for over 30 years. In addition, I have trained doctoral students in psychology, supervised alcohol and drug treatment programs, consulted to the Department of Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital, provided staff training and consultation to a school for emotionally disturbed adolescents, and lectured often to mental health programs throughout the DC metropolitan area.
I offer a progressive treatment orientation that empowers people by enhancing their ability to understand themselves and their needs in order to resolve personal problems. My services are collaborative and individualized, allowing each person to heal in his or her own way. For most people, making the decision to seek professional help is very difficult.
Around the turn of the last century, medical researchers, alarmed at the explosive growth of morphine addiction, set out to develop a painkiller that would be just as effective, but without the addictive potential. Much time and effort was put into this enterprise; and eventually a new product was developed which promised to solve the problem.
Q: I have been depressed and anxious for some time and things just don't feel like they're getting better. I know I probably need professional help. But how can talking about my problems really make things better? A: When you are in emotional distress, you often end up revisiting the same disturbing thoughts and feelings over and over again.
