"Welcome! Are you or your child feeling overwhelmed and at a loss for how to cope right now? Could you benefit from a safe refuge where you can receive some support in sorting things out? I am committed to providing my clients with a relationship that is secure, collaborative, non-judgmental, and respectful. Although I have over a decade of training in the nature of psychological problems that can trouble us, my focus as a psychologist is in the client as a whole person, with an emphasis on their strengths."

" **Sunday hours now available** We have all struggled with something in our lives. With the stresses and demands of everyday life, therapy offers an opportunity to explore these challenges. I strive to create a non-judgmental, safe and supportive atmosphere to explore problematic feelings and thoughts. I approach each client with respect, integrity and individuality. I'm a psychodynamically trained therapist, helping you explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain insight into present day challenges you may be facing. Throughout our work we will recognize and explore ongoing patterns that may be hindering your life in some way."

"Perhaps you could be searching here because the problems that have somehow crept into your life have placed realization of your dreams and aspirations at a distance, even in peril? Could you be hoping to learn new ways to push back against the problems from a guide, an ally who can help point you back to the path toward your preferred vision of your life? I am an experienced guide, a diligent ally, a respectful, culturally aware therapist. I will not simply point to any pathway out. I know that yours is as unique to you as you are yourself."

"Specializing in relationship difficulties, I see individuals and couples who because of fighting, miscommunication, failures of trust, or shyness and fear, miss out on the intimacy and support of healthy relationships. In therapy I would like to help you better understand and communicate your needs, use insight-oriented therapy to discover why it has been difficult for you to get these needs met, and engage in more enriching relationships. I enjoy working with a variety of clients in terms of cultural backgrounds and orientations."

"I'm the owner of B'Well Counseling and I want to be honest: I'm not the therapist for everyone. I am, however, a good-fit therapist for high-functioning, intelligent and creative people learning that just because they seem to be able to "do it all" that doesn't mean they should. I don't believe something is wrong if you feel over-stressed or super anxious; I think something is wrong with a system that makes people feel this way."

"Meaningful personal growth and self-efficacy can be realized by any person, couple or family in the face of personal challenges. These can be internal (despair, depression, grief, anger, or anxiety), external (lack of supportive relationships, disharmony), and interactive (blaming, perceptions and reciprocal reactions to each other's behaviors). How well you manage to cope, survive and eventually thrive in the midst of these challenges can be aided by establishing a genuine collaboration with a competent therapist, and learning to manage the thoughts, moods, and behaviors that affect the heart and soul of the individual, the couple, and family."

"Life comes with ups and downs. Sometimes exciting and joyous, life can include stressful moments, frustration, unexpected change, and uncertainty. During those difficult times; a helping hand, a kind word, and support can bring resilience and peace of mind back into your life. This is why we created The Village Family Support Center of Baltimore. We are here to support you and your family during the good and the challenging times. By focusing on your strengths and the potential of the future, we can help you find hope and promote positive change."

"Good Grief is my specialty in Life Coaching. I know what I know because I have been there. I know that tragedy turns lives inside out, upside down, and life awry. But lots of good and love have come to me from my personal experiences. Grief has everything to do with how I continue to be response-able. Good Grief Coaching is mindful mindwork. Our collaboration is designed to find your strengths and empower you to response-able grief."

"Are you struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Having trouble in a relationship? Looking for help with a feeling, situation, or crisis? I have been providing therapy and counseling services to adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families, for over 25 years. I treat each client as an individual; how you think, how you work, and what you believe is important to consider in how to approach your concerns. I believe that no one treatment approach can best treat all issues. I consider those methods and interventions that work best with an individual and their presenting problem."

"I am a compassionate therapist with extensive knowledge and experience in mental health and substance abuse management through using a wide range of treatment modalities. My clients range from ages 18 to 65 years with a wide range of mental health concerns. I believe in a positive, supportive approach in working with each individual client to develop their own unique treatment goals for the best possible outcome."

"An experienced therapist, I work with adults of all ages. I create a compassionate atmosphere where you can feel accepted and understood. Therapy is a partnership and feedback is welcomed. First, I want to help you to feel better NOW. We develop skills to reduce symptoms and solve problems. The root of the issue is addressed to ensure lasting improvement. We are sculpted by life's experience, relationships, and emotional patterns that may no longer work. Change begins with awareness, followed by the support and skills to begin to do/feel differently. Positive change feels better then old patterns."

"I see the relationship between a client and therapist as a partnership. I work hard to create a safe and comfortable environment where clients can let down their guard and speak freely. I believe a warm and supportive environment is key to the success of any therapeutic relationship. I work towards this goal by using my sense of humor and down to earth personality to relate to clients."

"I work with children and adolescents, as well as their families. I am one of the only clinicians in the Baltimore area who offers the Quotient ADHD Diagnostic Testing System. I also offer individual and family therapy, school consultations, and comprehensive educational evaluations to assess for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disabilities. I believe strongly that parents want to be the best parents possible but may need help developing the tools to do so. I try to make therapy appealing through my sense of humor and I employ a very practical, solution-focused approach."

"[Attention New Clients: I'm hoping to accommodate new clients again by May.] Welcome and congratulations! You have taken the first step toward improving your mental and emotional well-being by exploring options for a qualified and experienced professional. I have a wide range of experience working with people with depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, thought disorders, alcohol and substance abuse, trauma, life transitions and adjustments difficulties. I work with college-age adults to older adults and understand the complexities that affect each life phase. I am sensitive to cultural preferences and strive to create an accepting, comfortable, non judgmental environment for all."

"I am not accepting new clients until November 2018. I work with clients with depression, anxiety, grief and traumatic loss. My style is warm, personable, dedicated and empathic. We will work together on what you are struggling with that you really rather not face up to and deal with but it keeps getting in your way of a healthy state of mind and feeling good. My focus is on your experience of what you are feeling as well as your story of life events, childhood environment and relationships."

"I work with clients who are struggling with a variety of issues. For example, you may be experiencing depression, a relationship issue or trauma. Regardless of the issue, it causes emotional pain and self-defeating behavior. My strength as a clinician is not only teaching clients how to cope with these emotions but also how to learn from and understand where they come from and how they are maintained. Once you understand this, you have more freedom to choose a better path for yourself. As a therapist, I aim to be down-to-earth, empathic and collaborative."

"I provide a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for individuals to do difficult therapeutic work. I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, life transitions, and supporting those navigating and accessing supports in the public school system. Through my experience as a clinical therapist and professional school counselor, my clients have benefited from my individualized and integrated treatment approaches. I have been successful in utilizing a combination of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), strengths-based therapy, brief solution-focused therapy and other mindfulness-based approaches to address difficult issues. I believe in developing a strong therapeutic relationship and working with clients to meet their desired goals while also guiding clients to explore emotions, attitudes, and beliefs that may have hindered them in their past attempts at personal growth. I work with children, adolescents, and adults ages 11 and older."

"At my core, I believe that everyone deserves to feel mentally well. I am a therapist who specializes in treating individuals with anxiety, depression, and trauma (EMDR trained). I enjoy working with people who are adjusting to life changes, students, coping with the stress of daily living, and trying to find and maintain a balance in their lives. I work with adolescents and families, as adolescence can be particularly stressful and full of the unknown for everyone. I believe in equipping individuals with many tools to help them achieve wellness. I treat client's using a person--centered approach. I also offer forensic services."

"I provide therapy services for individuals and couples navigating life transitions, relationship difficulties, and identity concerns. I take a holistic approach, and work with the psychological, physical, social, and spiritual elements of clients' experiences. Additionally, I work within a framework of cultural competence, acknowledging the societal and environmental realities that influence our experience of life and one another, and I advocate for my clients' rights to the pursuit of health and greater well-being."

"I feel my strongest skills involve treating clients who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. After working over 15 years in the field of social work, I recognize my energy and desire lies in clinical practice. My particular interests in the last 10 years have also addressed other areas beyond general mental health. This includes athletes with eating disorders, compulsive exercise, and exercise addiction. I am comfortable working with other providers such as psychiatrists, dietitians, and coaches to provide a clinical team approach to healing."
