Therapists in Potomac, MD

Hello, my name is Courtney and I am a daughter, a mother, and a therapist! I am a believer in all things mental health and wellness! I decided to pursue a career in counseling because I have a great passion for supporting individuals in a nonjudgmental, safe, and inviting space. My goal in our therapeutic relationship is to help guide you in making positive choices, while also maintaining a healthy lifestyle that helps you become your whole self. Let us take this journey together and find your healing for the next step of your life.

I enjoy working with clients seeking healing, peace and understanding in the face of various mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, mood instability and/or trauma. I realize that many of us may not know where to begin when we feel stuck or hopeless. If you are willing to take the chance and even consider what a "light at the end of the tunnel" might look like, I know we could work together to get you to a place where you feel you have the tools and knowledge to move forward on a path of wellness.

We see individuals, families and couples in DC, MD, VA, PA, and FL. We provide an encouraging, warm and open environment to help learn more about yourself and heal from the root up. We identify when negative patterns began and guide you to lead a happier and more peaceful life.

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. Life is beautiful and we try to make the best of it, but due to stresses and unexpected factors it becomes difficult to maintain a balance between ourselves and the people surrounding us. I believe in a holistic approach to treat the human mind. I provide psychotherapy services for adolescents and adults to address depression, anxiety, addiction, self-esteem issues, concern in personal and work relationships. I have specialized training in traumatic events like sexual assault, grief and chronic illness as well as anger management, conflict resolution, life coaching and problem solving.

Thank you for visiting my profile! I am the founder of Maryland Integrative Counseling Associates (MICA), an outpatient mental health practice with offices in Rockville and Frederick. Each therapist at MICA has their own specialty area, and mine is helping teens and adults with anxiety, trauma and attention disorders. I often find it helpful to add Neurofeedback to traditional talk-therapy for these and other problem areas.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I strive to use a positive psychology to bring insights and empowerment to my clients.

As a seasoned therapist and trained in EMDR for Trauma, I work with those who have Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Stress & Anger Management issues and a host of other life struggles.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. IN-PERSON AVAILABLE. Just as each individual is unique, I see treatment as unique as well, meaning no single therapy approach can claim to be the solution to every individual that walks through my door. For as unique as you are, together we can make sense of your concerns, work towards your goals, and the quality of life you want and deserve.
