About Me
Ryoichi Noguchi, Ph.D.
Hello and thank you for visiting DC Cognitive Behavioral Therapy! I am the founder and owner of DC CBT and a licensed psychologist. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Hamilton College, I obtained my Masters and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Virginia Tech.
Having worked at Virginia Tech’s Thomas E. Cook Counseling Center and then George Mason University’s Counseling and Psychological Services, I often provided psychological services to undergraduate and graduate students. I also developed an extensive knowledge of the demands placed on individuals working within the university system.
Most recently, I spent 8 wonderful years at the Capital Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy where I provided individual and group therapy services to adults in the Dupont Circle area, and across DC, Maryland, and Virginia. I have now established DC Cognitive Behavioral Therapy PLLC (“DC CBT”) to continue providing therapy and psychological services in Washington, DC and the DMV.
My therapy style is a flexible, integrative, and collaborative approach to cognitive behavioral therapy. Flexibility is important as there is no one size fits all solution to an individual’s struggles. While I identify as a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provider, I integrate other methods to complement CBT. For instance, as a practitioner of mindfulness, I might recommend incorporating mindfulness into treatment sessions, should that be something of interest to you. I also believe that you are the expert of your own experiences and value your input. While I might bring some psychological and CBT expertise, therapy can only truly be successful when both experts in the room collaborate.
Some of my clinical interests include anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. In particular, I specialize in the treatment of social anxiety. Social anxiety treatments are available as individual sessions, as well as group therapy.
I am Japanese American and bilingual in Japanese. If you prefer to have sessions in Japanese, please do not hesitate to let me know. 日本語でのセラピーをご希望の方はメールでご連絡ください。
I am licensed as a psychologist in Washington, DC and Virginia. Telepsychology services are offered across, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Additionally, I am able to provide telepsychology services to individuals in PSYPACT states.
