“Dr. Korytnyk is the fourth therapist I have visited in many years. She is the only one doctor who was able to help me overcome the reasons why I needed therapy. I felt a connection with her on the first visit. Since then, she properly guided me through the right path, understanding the cause of my problems and providing me with the tools to solve them.
She is a trustworthy, reliable, understanding, and hard-working professional who I strongly recommend to anyone.”

“I saw Dr. Korynyk for about six months for some anxiety issues related to both my personal and professional life. My visits stopped only because I moved out of the area. She was thoughtful, kind, and provide helpful, tailored feedback. Dr. K does not take notes during her sessions so she can focus on the patient and listen. While I appreciated her undivided attention, I found frustrating to have to repeat personal history after seeing her twice a month for several months. I still highly recommend Dr. K, but I hope it helps set expectations for others. ”

Getting to know Dr. Natalie X. Korytnyk Forrester
I am a clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy in a boutique private practice in downtown D.C. For over 30 years, I have worked collaboratively with professional individuals and couples with diverse life experiences who are facing unique difficulties and challenges. My approach is engaging and interactive, helping individuals gain insight and understanding of the root causes, as well as explore practical solutions to their problems.
In addition to my private practice, I have been an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University Medical School for over a decade and served as a consultant to the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. After moving to the D.C. area, I initially worked at the National Rehabilitation Hospital, then became Chief Psychologist for Inpatient Psychiatry at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Later, I worked for the Veterans Administration, where I helped develop an outpatient sexual trauma program for veterans. I have also taught psychology courses at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the Catholic University of America.
