Staff
Amy Muhlbach, LICSW
Executive Director
Amy Muhlbach joined Capital Clubhouse Inc. as its Program and Clinical Director in August 2018. She brings extensive experience from 30 years in non-profit work serving adults with severe mental illness and homelessness in the District of Columbia. She has 15 years as an independently licensed clinical social worker in community mental health services, including program management, supervision, community support, and psychotherapy. Through these experiences she most appreciates “helping people realize and use their strengths to thrive, living closer to their potential” and learning to do so with the help of intentional community. The secret to her sauce: respect and patience.

Program Generalist
Dana-Lee Harrington helps facilitate and engage clients at Capital Clubhouse each day. She also plans events and coordinates on projects to ensure clients are meeting their goals.

She is a senior at George Washington University, majoring in Public Health with a minor in Law and Society, and plans to pursue a Master’s in Social Work after graduation. When Dana is not at Capital Clubhouse you can find her running, relaxing at home or singing her heart out at karaoke.
