I have 30 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults in community mental health and school- based settings. As an Autism specialist, I work to increase the understanding of challenges unique to Autism and the ability of individuals and families to cope in positive and productive ways. My work with children and adolescents often includes advocacy and collaboration with schools and other relevant treatment and service providers. I aim to build mutual support and understanding across home, academic, and/or vocational environments.

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. At this time, I am only offering teletherapy. I'm Michelle, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I specialize in working with children (9+), teens & young adults struggling ADHD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, school and/or behavioral difficulties and self-esteem issues. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the primary treatment modality that I use as well as mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. My goal is to support my clients with gaining skills to live their best lives.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Are you looking for a therapist with a sense of humor? My approach is rooted in metacognitive perspective, which involves helping clients develop new ways to control their attention and relate to negative thoughts and beliefs. In addition to my metacognitive approach, I am trained in CBT and Neurofeedback. I've found these approaches to be particularly effective in treating clients with anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression, ASD, and ADHD.

Deciding to reach out to a therapist is not an easy task. It is normal to feel anxious about seeking help and trusting another person. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide an atmosphere in therapy that feels safe and accepting. I use a solution-focused approach to help you reach your goals. I offer practical solutions while also providing insight and support and incorporate various cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness techniques as well. My goal for you is to find relief for the issues you are facing so that you may lead a happy and productive life.

I utilize a collaborative approach with clients to help them access their own innate potential for healing. I work to facilitate a broader mental wellness repertoire of self-assistance and coping strategies for improving quality of life. I have worked effectively with a broad range of life issues and problems starting from the initial session to promote a congenial and trusting working relationship. Clients with whom I work receive the respect and validation that we all want and deserve as personal and specific goals are established to help each person develop their most fulfilling life.

I promote a warm, non-judgmental space to support clients as they work through challenges that they are facing. I have helped clients struggling with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, depression, family conflict, substance use, trauma, low self-esteem, stress management, and more. I have enjoyed aiding those who are going through various life transitions, such as experiencing moving away from home for the first time. My goal in the therapeutic relationship is to help individuals navigate life’s changes and struggles, achieve greater peace, and enjoy their unique process along the way.

Are you uncertain about therapy? You may be feeling scared, hesitant, or just not know how to pick someone from a long list of potential names. It can be incredibly overwhelming, and you may feel like you have many questions about the process. I have a knack for getting people settled into therapy quickly so we can start talking about the things that matter to you. You may be feeling anxious, depressed, or maybe you are going through a life transition. Maybe, you are struggling with your relationships with family or romantically. I can assure you that therapy will likely be beneficial, and I would be honored to work with you.

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.”

Therapy is for everyone. I view therapy as a way to learn about yourself, to cope with life's challenges, to identify strategies and perspectives that improve your mental health, and to connect with a professional who provides unconditional empathy. My clients seek therapy for many reasons: they are often lonely, stressed, or depressed. They typically want more positive thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, but struggle to implement change. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can provide a path forward in living a happier, more fulfilled life.

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.

Are you having difficulty adjusting to the "new normal" of social distancing? While keeping us physically healthy, social distancing can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. The stress of the current pandemic may also be worsening pre-existing problems such as depression, anxiety and PTSD.

As a non-profit therapy center, we accept a variety of insurance plans and offer sliding scales fees.
