Adults Therapists in 20814

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important step in the therapy process. A trusting relationship allows clients to feel safe when exploring deeper issues and taking risks. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment for each of my clients. Using an integrative approach, I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who may be grappling with life transitions or struggling with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or relationship issues.

I’ve witnessed the impact of stress, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness as individuals manage their chronic health conditions. These are common reactions to navigating a life-altering health condition. I work with clients to better manage their mental health and chronic illness together to improve their overall health. I take a collaborative approach to therapy with my clients, and I strive to establish a supportive environment where we can discuss your goals for therapy and address the challenges associated with managing chronic illness.

You were determined that your Happily Ever After fairytale would be so much better than any Hallmark movie. And yet, it feels like time after time, you think you've seen this film before, & you didn’t like the ending(s). The magic of the movies made it look so easy. But all these roles you’re expected to play to perfection… love interest, stressed professional, kick-ass parent, funny sidekick, unpaid Uber driver, caring sister, Christmas enthusiast who moves back to their hometown - leaves no space for you. And you’re fucking tired. But maybe, you (keep) telling yourself, if you try just a little harder, you can make it work.

I work with individuals, children, families and couples. My areas of specialization include trauma, depression, anxiety, family conflict, social skills, and self-esteem building. My work is driven by the belief that all people deserve a safe, supportive, and empathetic environment to address life's challenges. It is my goal to build a collaborative working relationship with clients where the foundation of our time together is built on the inherent strengths of individuals and families.

Do you feel like you've lost control over your teenager? Want to regain your power as a parent? Want to relate better to your teen? Want your teen to be more successful? I specialize in treating teens who are not performing up to their potential in school or at home. I work closely with parents to improve the parent-child relationship, discipline more effectively, and allow the student to become more independent, responsible and productive over time. Additionally, I help adults overcome depression and anxiety, deal with stress, and gain a sense of control over their lives.

I enjoy working with adults who are ready to face their emotional challenges because I believe that anxiety, depression and other life-limiting emotional conditions are not a normal part of aging or care giving. As a mature adult I know it may be difficult to reach out. I offer one introductory phone call to address your questions and concerns so that you may feel more confident regarding the decision to begin therapy as well as to insure that working together is the best available option for you. I meet clients in my home office and also virtually.

Do you feel lost in your own life? Are you anxious about the future or ruminating on the past? Maybe you just want to know yourself better and create the life you want. Together we can create a path to your best life fully in the present. I work from a solid foundation of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Building a strong, trusting, therapeutic relationship is central to my process. I incorporate techniques from behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT, and others. Social justice and culturally responsive practices are values I bring to our work and I am HAES-aligned.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Maryland. I have worked with youth and young adults for the past 5 years as a social worker in several different capacities.

Do you want to feel more connected to others? How about to yourself? Are things from your past getting in the way? Therapy allows for the time and space to focus on you. I believe all of us are capable of change, and therapy is one way to begin that change process. I work from an empowerment approach - in other words, I know that you are the expert about who you are, where you're from, and where you're going. My role is to provide feedback, guidance, and a safe environment to process that journey.

I have been working with children, adolescents and adults for over 35 years, using a mind-body approach to help people understand and resolve their concerns, and live their lives to the fullest. I specialize in trauma, including medically related, emotional, physical and sexual abuse and those difficult to manage situations that continue to haunt us despite our best efforts.I also specialize in eating disorders. I find Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to be highly effective with both eating disorders and trauma.

I work with adolescents, young adults and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, ADHD, trauma, unhealthy relationships, regulating emotions and poor communication. I use empathy, humor and compassion to help clients build skills to live a more balanced and productive life. Therapy is tough.. if you are unsure or hesitant, that’s ok. I will help guide you through the process

I have been helping individuals and couples work through difficult issues in order to have a more fulfilling life for over fifteen years. Having been trained to work with people across the lifespan has enabled me to integrate an understanding of the origins, development and resolution of behavior and relationship patterns which are presently holding the client back from important accomplishments or feelings of well-being in their lives, even though these patterns may very well have historically originated out of a functional need.

Following my natural character of curiosity and compassion for others, my inclinations led me straight to the field of psychotherapy where I have been practicing for over 36 years. I have been privileged to work in clinic, hospital, and school settings. My work is insight-oriented and I am eager to work with individuals and couples who can engage in collaborative work, who are curious about their inner workings, and are desirous to become deeply authentic while travelling their unique path.

I have worked in the behavioral health field for over 23 years, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I am a licensed mental health professional in multiple states. I have earned progressively higher leadership responsibilities throughout my career, including providing clinical and executive leadership.

Often we wait until we have exhausted every measure before we seek professional help. You can start on your journey to healing, reconciliation, peace, and joy today. I believe that in times of adversity and struggle, we have the greatest potential for growth. It is often hard to see clearly how the difficulties we face will lead to positive changes, so instead we lose our way and get stuck in places of frustration, despair, and resentment. The change process is a journey-sometimes long and at times short. It is a process that gives us the opportunity to discover new ways of approaching our circumstances.

As a psychotherapist, I have been profoundly touched by survivors of trauma, particularly extreme trauma, ritual abuse, mind control, clergy abuse, & spiritual abuse. Unfortunately, I am no longer taking new clients. But I am available for consultations to answer your questions or guide you in getting help. I am also developing a treatment model, The Migration Model, still in the testing phase, to remove mind control for ritual abuse/DID clients. (See www.ra-free.org). I provide intensives of 6 hours per day over 2+ days in my Ann Arbor, Michigan office using this model. But you must be in therapy with a licensed therapist.

I am a board-certified psychotherapist. In my practice I provide psychotherapy to adults, couples, and older adolescents, using psychoanalytic psychotherapy and analytical psychology. It is my goal to create a warm and supportive environment in which to work with my clients to heal relational wounds and other forms of trauma. I support clients in their process to gain deeper self-understanding and to foster personal growth through self-compassion. Together we can explore new ways of understanding old patterns of behavior.

As I start working with my clients, I seek to thoroughly understand their problems and difficulties, the need for psychotherapy services at this time in their lives, and their expectations and goals of therapeutic treatment. I also explore how past events and experiences from their life contributed to the present problems/difficulties and current ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. My ultimate goal is to help clients better understand the root cause(s) of their current difficulties, work through their specific issues or concerns, experience new ways of being with other people, and live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
