Relationship Issues Therapists in Fort Washington, MD

Hello, I am glad that you made the choice to move in a different direction in your life. It is my esteem honor to help facilitate your personal emotional development and growth.

Ladies...when you look in the mirror, what are your first thoughts about the YOU who you see? Do you feel lovable, capable, deserving, beautiful? Or, do negative thoughts and traumatic experiences block your happiness? Or, maybe you just don't understand why you are angry or sad or anxious or depressed? Michelle Obama once said, and I agree, "We need to focus on what matters - on how we feel and how we feel about ourselves."

What if constant exhaustion was optional? What if you could say “no” and not feel bad? What if taking up more space in your relationship could actually make it healthier? What if “Because I can handle it … I’ll be okay” was NOT a good enough reason to push yourself to the limit? What if you didn't ALWAYS have to work twice as hard (at work and at home)? What if taking time out for yourself, actually lead to you having MORE time in the end? What if you could find more peace and rest without the people around you taking your advice, or finally working WITH you to solve problems?

Be Still and Know... speaks to each of us as individuals and groups. We are constantly moving through life; growing, learning, changing, and just living. We are so used to constantly moving that we don't take the time to be still; -to think, feel, or discern what we are experiencing in life. This can cause us to miss out on the opportunity to understand and resolve what we are going through. Therapy can be a supportive and meaningful way. I seek to help individuals who are seeking to learn how to deal with life's challenges and struggles such as anxiety, mood disorders, and adjusting to life changes.

You may find yourself worrying about many different things at once. It may feel as though you are unable to get a hold of the worry, no matter how hard you try. Maybe you continue to perform your daily tasks but feel exhausted and irritated most days. Perhaps your days feel never-ending, and the energy you've once had to enjoy your relationships, hobbies, and interests is non-existent. Maybe you want to feel grounded, focused, and energetic again. You may want to master a work-life balance that allows you to be completely present in your life.

I am honored to be entrusted with your story and am excited to coauthor this journey with you. My name is Alyson Davis and I believe in the power of storytelling. It is my understanding that the most powerful story we tell ourselves is our personal narrative. I began practicing therapy in 2015 with the primary goal to support individuals with suicidal thoughts, intrusive ideas, hopelessness and despair. This support is rooted in the knowledge that life's storms are impermanent and have the option of either contributing to either our growth, or our destruction. We get to make that choice.

My name is Dr. Shaqueal Stevens, LCSW-C, and I am pleased to guide you and your child in the therapeutic process. Children experience various life changes that are sometimes hard for them to understand and work through. They may have difficulty identifying or expressing their feelings about life changes, such as divorce or separation, death, or going to a new school. They may have challenges with attention or focus, following instructions to complete tasks, or making friends. All of these experiences are very real, important and impactful in a child's life. I'm here to help your child reach individualized goals we set together.

Throughout the course of life we are all faced with adversity, barriers and need guidance in making the right decision. I offer a Holistic Person Centered Therapy approach by blending various theories and modalities. Each therapy session is catered specifically to the individual strengths and weakness. Although we may have similar issues, those issues can affect us in totally different ways. My goal is to use the best therapeutic technique that will best meet my client's individual needs. I want my clients to feel that they matter and that their concerns are my concerns and together I can help them live and enjoy life.

I primarily work with individuals focusing on emotional health and wellness. I help guide my clients through healing after an ended relationship, divorce, and/or adapting to various life transitions. My goal is to empower my clients to become the best version of themselves and to strengthen their relationships.
