"I am a Psycho/Behavioral Therapist with over 20 years of experience in helping individuals and couples who are suffering from health and mental issues. I trained at both Johns Hopkins psychiatry department and McGill university center for cognition and medicine. In the last couple of year I focused mainly on helping those who are suffering from chronic pain, depression, anxiety cognitive disorders, eating disorders and weight management as well as those needing career counselling. I am a Cognitive Therapist and I believe that people have a choice, they can change their behavior, their thought process, learn to move forward and acquire hope."

"Hi there! I'm Amaris, millennial and couple's therapist and owner of PracKind, a private counseling practice here to help you discover more clarity, confidence and peace. Through insight and practical tools, I have helped many individuals and couples explore and resolve what's troubling, and recover relational and emotional wellness. With care and acceptance, I can help you disconnect from fear and confusion and grow deeper in peace, understanding and love."

"Are parenting concerns keeping you up at night? Is your teenager cutting or threatening worse? Is your child living with fear and endless frustration? Your child may be struggling with emotional or behavioral problems that he or she just doesn't have the coping skills to manage. Parenting isn't always as simple as some make it out to be. Rest assured, it's not just you. Some kids struggle with emotional control more than others. My goal is to help you and your child develop effective coping techniques, so that you can both begin to enjoy life again."

"I believe in an individual's desire for self-awareness. I hope to provide a comfortable environment where, as the client, you can explore your choices for the future. When you able to adopt a different view of yourself you gain insight which can make the possibilities endless and the excitement for change contagious. I see individuals who have been working hard and are still struggling to understand why they feel and/or think as they do. I also work with parents who want to do their best for their child(ren) while developing deeper relationships with themselves."

"MOVE toward your new self! The key to success in therapy, is a trusting, authentic relationship, and dedication to the process both within and outside of treatment. I apply evidence-based practices in a collaborative, professional relationship to provide effective, individualized treatment for every client. Although unrecognized at times as a potential catalyst to anxiety, depression, situational circumstances, and relationship issues, substance use within the family system (past or present) can be an underlining factor for current experiences. As a dual clinician; licensed both in mental health (LCPC) and substance abuse (LCADC), I make it easy to address these concerns."

"I view therapy as a collaborative process in which an individual can explore his or her concerns in a supportive and encouraging environment. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and couples with a variety of concerns. The foundations of my work as a therapist are authenticity in the client-counselor relationship and a strengths-based clinical approach grounded in cognitive-behavioral theory."

"Greetings! I have enjoyed working with Children, Adolescents and Families since 1982. Over time I have grown to appreciate serving Grief and Trauma work.

"Throughout our lives, we will be faced with innumerable internal and situational challenges that can leave us feeling depleted, discouraged, and stuck. At times, the wave-like intensity can threaten to overwhelm us. Mindfulness-based counseling offers an opportunity for clients to access their strengths and learn new skills to obtain clarity about the sources of distress, engage effective practices for altering how one relates to that distress, and move purposefully toward valued goals. I have primary experience working with clients dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, and life transitions."

"For 16 years I have partnered with my clients to work through symptoms of depression, trauma and anxiety. As a stepparent myself, I have a passion for working with individuals, couples and families struggling with separation, divorce and step-families as I have found much of the available advice to be incomplete or unhelpful."

"What can I help with? You may not be sure what you are looking for, but just want some kind of help. What concerns you the most now? Do you find yourself feeling not like yourself, tense, overwhelmed, with a mind that won't stop thinking? Do you feel a sense of emptiness, unsure of moving forward? You could be dealing with a crisis, a major change, death, or loss. If you know you worry, feel stuck in the past, or want to move on, I will work with you through any of these concerns."

"Discovery. Imagination. Hope. Trust. Development. Character. Optimism. These are qualities I delight in.

I am especially interested, when invited, to incorporate a spiritual perspective on the life challenges you face."

I pride myself in being a strong listener who will work to understand you and respond without judgment."

"Congratulations on your decision to seek therapy. You have made a valuable decision to honor your inner needs and feelings. It is my belief that all individuals have a desire to live a meaningful and purposeful life, yet sometimes become "stuck" in unhealthy ways of thinking about themselves and their circumstances . Ultimately, unhealthy thoughts and emotions can influence how one relates to others and responds to problems of daily living. My theoretical approach is grounded in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based practices. Therapy is approached as a collaborative process where the client and I work together to discover solutions to life's challenges."

"I believe that the goals of psychotherapy are self-acceptance, insight, and change. Providing my clients with a safe and comfortable environment is the foundation for the process of therapy. I work in an empathic, non-judgmental, and direct manner. I believe that change comes from exploring where difficulties originated as well as exploring what people want and need in their lives. I work collaboratively with people to find solutions to the obstacles in their lives and on finding what makes them happy.

"As a Pastor for 30 years, I can merge a spirituality with my clinical approach to therapy for those who wish it. For men who want to be free from compulsive sexual behaviors I use a blend of clinical and biblical principles and have seen many freed from decades of addiction. This is also true for marriages that have been broken due to infidelity, pornography, and sexual practices that are not agreed upon within the marriage. Working successfully to stop the unwanted behavior and develop appropriate coping skills, communication and restored trust, is very rewarding and satisfying."

"Are you anxious, depressed or stressed? I have over 20 years of experience helping people deal with life's troubles and understand how hard it is to make that first call to me. But, a few sessions of psychotherapy can offer a new outlook on anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or grief. Crises often resolve quickly with custom-designed therapy, especially anxiety or panic attacks."

"Congratulations on taking the first step to building a better life. As a Licensed Therapist, I compassionately counsel adults, teens, children and families and help them lead a more engaged and meaningful life. I work with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral concerns, life transitions and academic issues. Utilizing a very collaborative and interactive style, I empower my clients to uncover their authenticity while building new strengths and skills. I can help you make space in your life for more enjoyment, productivity and meaning."
