PlayfulLeigh Psyched

​

We are a place for playful socioemotional wellness and development, an expansive telehealth practice founded in 2018. We were founded by Dr. Dowtin who is a Black ciswoman. Our mission at PlayfulLeigh Psyched emphasizes creating healing pathways for marginalized communities such as Black communities. PlayfulLeigh Psyched provides therapeutic services infused with cultural humility, social justice, and trauma focus. We specialize in infants and young children, perinatal mental health folks, and survivors of trauma across the age and gender spectrum in languages of English and ASL. All of our services are steeped in understanding trauma and that childhood experiences impact our development and how we interact with one another as adults. Therefore, we provide nurturing family-centered, trauma- and culturally-informed services for people for all ages, genders, abilities, and backgrounds.  

​

The Fit

​

We are scanning the Maryland, DC, Virginia and Missouri areas to welcome therapists from many cultures who foster cultural humility, social justice, and affirming identities who have lived experiences of marginalization. Our vision is to facilitate emotionally healthy approaches that allow people to thrive in this world.  Therefore, we envision therapists providing services that empower and foster healthy relationships across the lifespan. We are seeking therapists who are passionate, playful, creative, committed to the health and wellness of their patients, and who are eager and forever open to ongoing learning.
