Who we are

The Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill is the oldest psychology outpatient treatment center (est. 2016) that utilizes evidence-based treatments of anxiety, depressive, and behavioral disorders in Capitol Hill in patients of

ALL AGES 

​(Children, adolescents, young adults, adults, older adults, and families).

Our Director, Dr. Johanna Kaplan

​

Dr. Johanna Kaplan has been a proud resident of Capitol Hill for 20 years. She is the Director of the Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill. She is a licensed clinical psychologist in Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. She is also a PSYPact provider (see list of teletherapy states here). She earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The Catholic University of America in 2010 and her undergraduate degree in Psychology and Communications from American University in Washington, D.C. She has been in clinical practice for over 15 years.

Prior to opening the Washington Anxiety Center of Capitol Hill, she worked for four years at the Center for Anxiety and Behavior Change in Rockville, MD. She also completed 18 months of post-doctoral training at the Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital at the Anxiety Disorders Center/Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy under the direct supervision of David Tolin, Ph.D. 

Additionally, she completed a 2-year post-baccalaureate fellowship and a 6-year pre-doctoral fellowship in the Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Kaplan has received extensive clinical and clinical-research training in anxiety, mood, and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders and has completed clinical and research work in private practice, community, counseling center, and hospital-based settings.

She has over 60 presentations/publications in the domain of clinical anxiety in adult, adolescent, and child populations. She has been interviewed for several articles in Parent magazine, parent.com, Romper.com, klicknews.com, the Hillrag.com, www.livestrong.com and has been interviewed by several local television media outlets. She continues to actively pursue her education in evidence-based treatments for anxiety in these populations.  

Dr. Kaplan works tirelessly, along with her doctorate-level colleagues at the practice, to give back to the Capitol Hill community. She is uniquely positioned to understand the needs of those in our community and the intricacies of the stressors our patients of all ages experience.
