Georgetown Psychology

Maria Zimmitti is an exceptional leader psychology, leading a very talented and caring team! Maria shows her deep care for children through her thoughtful approach to testing and mental health care. She is a joy to work with and her successful practice is in high demand. Highly recommend!

I am a local psychiatrist and have had the privilege of working with several providers at Georgetown Psychology. I cannot say enough about how collaborative and thorough the team is. I recommend this practice without hesitation!

I have been calling around for an EF coach for my son, and I had the chance to speak with Ms. Sarah Smathers. As far as professionalism, knowledge, and interpersonal skills go, Sarah is on an entirely different stratosphere! I never felt rushed, nor did I feel like I was “just another phone call.” The level of care, attention to detail, and genuine passion (along with compassion) sets the tone for what anyone should expect when interacting with this office. You can tell a lot about a business by who they employ as the first line of contact. Thank you, Sarah, for making my day. If I can get my son on board, I’ll definitely follow up with your office to get him scheduled. Take care, and thank you again for your kindness. Gratefully, Kevin

As the owner of Gold Signature Writers, an academic and enrichment tutoring service for students in the DMV, I consistently recommend Georgetown Psychology's Bethesda office to my clients and families! The team at Georgetown Psychology is thoughtful, detail-oriented, and thorough. Their comprehensive educational testing is truly one of the best in the DMV. I also find their mental health clinicians skilled and personable.

Dr. Maria Zimmitti provided an wonderfully informative and engaging professional development training presentation to our entire staff. Everyone learned so much and was excited to learn more through the continued education opportunities offered through the amazing Georgetown Psychology team. Highly recommend!

Georgetown Psychology has an expertise in neurodivergence and their team of clinicians continues to champion and lead proficiency in this area. As a colleague who has attended this team's presentations and heard back positively from families who have been clients with Georgetown Psychology, the feedback is superior as their testing services and interventions have supported many families though some of life's hardest challenges. Under the leadership of its founder, Dr. Maria Zimmitti, clients will find culturally responsive, neurodivergent- and gender-affirming care in a safe, inclusive space! I have referred clients, colleagues, and neighbors to Dr. Zimmitt's practice. So thankful to Georgetown Psychology!

Georgetown Psychology is elite in every way! Always available and accommodating. True professionals and extremely insightful! Empathy starts from the top with Dr. Zimmitti all the way through the entire staff. Extremely grateful to know that I can send clients or their children(s) and know that they will be receiving elite care at Georgetown Psychology.

The team at Georgetown Psychology delivers thoughtful services to support children and families across the board. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a competent, caring approach to testing, training, and therapy.

Dr. Zimmitti and her team do outstanding work with teens and college students. They understand the academic and mental health needs of our athletes and are connected to a wealth of resources in the DMV. If parents need someone to discuss testing or therapy for their child, Dr. Zimmitti is always happy to talk with them. As a parent of student athletes, she truly understands the challenges kids face navigating the demands of school, sports, friends, family, etc.

Anna Passyn is a phenomenal therapist. I own a tutoring business and referred one of my students who was experiencing severe anxiety over Covid to her. It was to the point she was so trapped in her own mind she could barely do her school work. In just a few sessions, the student started to improve and over a short period of time had better coping skills to dial back her fears and function more like a girl typical of her age. I was incredibly grateful (and of course, so was my student!). I continue to refer our kiddos over to Georgetown Psychology when there's a need. The process to get set up is easy and simple. Highly recommend Anna and the team at Georgetown Psychology in McLean!
