My somatic experiencing and psychoanalytic background is unusual but fits perfectly with KAP
About Joseph
I am Joseph W. LaFleur Jr., LICSW, MBA — Clinical Director & Principal of District Counseling and Psychotherapy in Washington, DC. I am a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Practitioner (C-PATP) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) with over 25 years of clinical experience. My approach to KAP is depth-oriented and body-based. I work with clients through all three phases — preparation, dosing, and integration — drawing on psychodynamic and somatic frameworks to help the experience become lasting change, not just a profound moment. I work with adults navigating treatment-resistant depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, shame, and identity. I have particular experience with LGBTQ+ clients and men who have struggled to find care that takes them seriously. Telehealth available across DC, MD, VA, NJ, and NY. *Healing doesn't wait until you're ready. Neither do I.*
