I have an eclectic background with a primary focus on treatment of trauma and sex addiction. I believe your therapist should challenge you to push past your comfort zone in a safe and trusting environment. I can teach you the skills you need to explore your emotions without being overwhelmed as you work toward creating real and lasting change in your life.

There are times when life stressors and personal problems feel insurmountable and too much to handle. It happens to the best of us. You may feel frustrated, anxious, confused, and depressed. You may also feel unsure who to turn to and confide in about your concerns. Issues such as these will eventually serve to isolate you further and grow into greater problems over time.

TELETHERAPY AND In-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS. My ideal client is someone who is seeking to understand her past, seeing how it impacts the present and deciding how to improve her future. I like to work with families and couples to improve communication. I have extensive experience in assessing and treating psychiatric issues with adolescents.

Clients come to me when they are facing a challenge that they need support with. They might be wondering if there’s more to life or how they can feel more satisfaction in their lives. I can help you look at the blocks that are keeping you from reaching your goals. To do this I use a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) approach as well as a Solution-Focused approach. I work holistically and see individuals as part of a family or other larger system. I offer a supportive, nurturing, safe, and confidential environment in which you can explore and find solutions for what is getting in the way of the life you want to lead.

Are you struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior? Do you spend hours watching pornography on your computer? Have you had several unsuccessful attempts to stop your behavior? Are you feeling like your life is spiraling out of control? If so, you may be struggling with sexual or porn addiction. Or perhaps you suspect your partner may be struggling with these issues or he has just exposed to you the truth about his behaviors?

Are you or your children struggling because of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or stress? In therapy, get the support that you need to recover from mental health challenges, build self-esteem, move past anxiety, and create healthy habits. Adults, teens, and children can heal from trauma and develop practical tools for living a more balanced, more confident, and more focused life. Difficult experiences in your past or mental health struggles in the present don't have to dictate your future. Therapy is available for residents of VA and MD. Reach out today. I am looking forward to hearing your story!

Hello! Welcome, my name is Alicia, and I am an LCPC in Maryland, USA. It’s been my goal in counseling to build an empathetic relationship, so that you feel safe to explore areas that you may not have previously explored. I have 9 years of experience helping others work through stressors related to mood and anxiety disorders, relationships, trauma, social and cultural issues, caregiving, grief, loss, employment, identity, substance use, and serious mental illness. I am a flexible therapist who enjoys exploration of multiple evidenced-based strategies that work for you.

Do you, or your children, find yourself stuck in patterns that are holding you back or causing difficulty? Does anxiety prevent you from doing what you want to in life? Do your goals feel as though they are always just out of reach? If any of these thoughts are circling in your head, therapy may be able to help. In therapy, we can explore these questions and create a space to identify our deepest, most authentic needs. Through these conversations, we can work together to learn coping skills and techniques to live better and live stronger. I look forward to hearing your story and helping you make tangible improvements in your life.

We, as human beings, have our habitual way to think, feel, and behave which may not always help us cope well. We may feel stuck in the past, fearful for the unknown future, and not being able to be present in the moment. Yet, the present is the only time that we can do something to make a change and feel better. We can stop struggling and begin to practice acceptance and grow through our experiences. In the practice of mindfulness, we are able to observe and become aware of the attachment to our habitual pattern of unhelpful thoughts and be present in the now moment by cultivating a non-judgmental mind and a new beginner's mind.

I support my clients with developing a strong identity, self-esteem, and making positive changes in their lives. I also provide great tools and strategies to help with anxiety, depression, and stress. I am flexible in my approach to helping others, so whatever your needs are... I am confident that we can create an experience that works well for you. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients (ages, situations, and reasons for counseling). I do particularly well with teenagers and young adults, and I also really enjoy working with professionals who want to create more balance, health, & wellness in their lives.

Hello and welcome! My name is Irene Anderson, I am a professional counselor and former educator. Often times the many roles we take on can present unavoidable and challenging experiences. But, please know, you do not have to face it alone! Are you or your child/teen experiencing new challenges post-pandemic? Do you feel sadness or hopelessness in your current situation? Do you feel trapped in your struggles with anxiety? Have you been unable to grieve the loss of a loved one? Are you and/or your partner (pre-marital and marital) in need of a safe and non-reactive space to be vulnerable with each other to put in the work?

Can practice in Psypact states. It takes an incredible amount of strength and courage to realize that you are struggling and need support. It’s even more tiring doing the same thing over and over again while having the same outcome. Are you struggling with love or sex addiction, porn addiction, or trauma bonds? Have you been deeply betrayed by the person you love who is not healthy for you? I believe we all have an innate ability to heal within a safe environment that allows us to be vulnerable and feel validated. My goal is to provide you that environment to explore your struggles and empower yourself to work towards your goals.

The human ability to change and grow is boundless. I customize treatment to each client's individual needs. I believe in using evidence based practices and I am always interested in expanding my knowledge base. Somatic experiencing and EMDR are excellent for seeing results. I have studied and worked with issues pertaining to traumatic stress for over ten years. I am particularly interested in the mind body connection and coping strategies to optimize functioning. I am comfortable treating a wide variety of presenting problems and working with a diverse client population. A warm, nurturing, creative environment is important to me.

Are you or your child feeling anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Do you find yourself avoiding people, places, or activities? Is anxiety, stress, depression, or behavioral issues interfering with you or your family's daily life? Then therapy could be a great help.

Everyone experiences problems from time to time. We usually resolve life's daily challenges but sometimes they threaten to overwhelm us. Unresolved issues can affect us at home and interfere at work. Ignoring these situations usually makes them worse. Trying to resolve them on your own may only yield limited success. Professional help usually increases the chances for a positive outcome. At such times when you need support, I am available to help.

Do you wish to be happy again, and get back control of your life? Has your self esteem plummeted so that daily functioning has become difficult? Has anxiety, depression and anger taken control of you and won't let you function in peace? My ideal adult client is the multitasking adult, often juggling multiple tasks but are unable to cope with their own anger, anxiety, sadness, or stress which seem to be controlling their lives. My ideal adolescent client is one who is dealing with impulsivity, anger, anxiety, peer relations, self esteem issues or are just too depressed to pay attention to their important last years of school.

As a therapist, I aim to create an environment that feels both welcoming and safe to anyone who enters. I most often work with individuals struggling from anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity, and life transitions and strive to help individuals identify their strengths, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based approaches, to support the therapeutic process. I believe in the importance of meeting someone where they are and I aim to empower clients by teaching skills that help them to manage obstacles that interfere with quality of life and wellbeing.

Do you need help with depression or anxiety? Are you struggling to recover from grief or loss? Have you experienced trauma? I would like the chance to listen to your story and help you build resilience and confidence. Instead of over-focusing on what's difficult in your life, we will work on developing your strengths and building on your best qualities. By finding and enhancing your inner resources you can better manage stress, depression, and the challenges that life presents. You can develop the positive-thinking skills that will help you manage better. We will develop your own step by step action plan to make change happen.

For 40 years now, I've been doing psychotherapy with adults -- individuals and couples. I treat people with problems in living -- like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, lack of assertiveness, and difficulties in relationships--or in crises, like divorce or bereavement. I also treat people with substance abuse/addiction, and their families and friends.
