Bisexual Therapists in 22030

Often asking for help is one of the hardest parts on the road to self-fulfillment. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 5 years of experience working with individuals, families and couples. Through listening, validation and learning your unique needs, I will create a plan specifically catered to you to assist in improving functioning across areas and life satisfaction. My approach is to explore and understand thoughts and behaviors that impact current functioning, as well as how past experiences can shape and impact the present moment.

Hi! I'm Maddie Mihalich, LCSW. I am passionate about helping people find their inner strength and voice. In providing psychotherapy, I lean toward a holistic, person-centered, strength-based approach to enhance your mental, physical and spiritual well-being. My practice is heavy handed on self-compassion and connection. Using evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) skills, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction(MBSR) and Mindful self-compassion, each session is tailored specifically toward your needs.

Are you a 40+ woman who is twice exceptional (intelligent and ADHD), feeling overwhelmed? Is it even harder because your parents are accomplished people, and you feel like you can't keep up with expectations? You are hardworking and others count on you. But there are days when it feels like it takes all you have just to get dressed and out the door. Your brain either supercharged or foggy, and you can't often predict which it will be. So you sometimes feel like an Impostor who is just "pulling it off". You had trauma, recently or in the past, which doesn't help. You are ready for change, but you need to be understood.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 15 years. Through listening and accepting, my overall goal of the therapeutic process is to improve your level of functioning and to enhance your life. I utilize a strength-based approach and focus on each client's individual needs.

Are you going through a difficult time and unsure how to navigate it? Are you looking for a safe space to vent and be free to express yourself? Are you struggling with “societal norms?” Are you and your partner in need of additional support or guidance? If any of these questions apply to you, I would love to assist with your therapeutic journey today. My top priorities are empowerment, acceptance, inclusivity and growth. I offer a safe, culturally sensitive space for you to be vulnerable, validation of your feelings and experiences, and support in managing your emotions.

Do you find yourself feeling sad or anxious for no particular reason? Do you sometimes wish you had help managing life and all of its challenges? I can help you by providing a compassionate, safe, and non-judgemental place to express your deepest thoughts and feelings and explore options to resolve the problems you are facing.

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated? Has life been painful, confusing, and just plain complicated? You’ve tried to cope yet it doesn’t seem to get any better. Whether you’re a teen or adult struggling with relationships, life transitions, work, school, or life in general, I can help you. Let’s sort through the chaos and hurt together to find the hidden strengths that will empower you to begin living with more clarity and contentment.

Often many individuals realize the need for professional assistance in order to successfully navigate and cope with barriers they are experiencing, whether this is relationship strain, personal difficulties such as intense emotional responses, or goals to achieve. In many cases there are learned behaviors that cause distress which resulted from previous experiences and further shape our choices into the future. Regardless of the barrier, individuals seek support when these begin to impact their ability to function day to day.

Life’s journey often brings a complex mix of challenges and transitions that can impact anyone, regardless of their background or experiences. My clients are individuals facing the multifaceted difficulties of adapting to significant life changes, managing stress, anxiety, depression, and healing from trauma and past adversities. They are people from all walks of life who seek to understand and overcome their personal struggles to find balance, healing, and fulfillment. These individuals are looking for effective coping strategies, support in navigating their emotions, and guidance in building resilience and making life changes.

As a licensed clinical psychologist since 1997, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I am a generalist, meaning that I work with clients from childhood to adulthood, in individual, family, couple's, and group therapy. I see clients dealing with issues including anxiety, conflict, depression, and relationship difficulties. In addition, I have an interest working with gay and lesbian clients. If you feel I can be helpful to you or someone you know, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to discuss your unique situation in more detail.

People often seek counseling or psychotherapy to change and to resolve difficulties or problems. Seeking consultation is personal and it takes some courage to initiate contact. Sometimes the impetus comes from within; sometimes your circumstances or others close to you provide a nudge. Finding the 'right' therapist for you may take some exploration. Some people simply seek to talk privately about a subject or an issue. This may involve one's direction in life, career, management role, or decision-making. Some people seek to address deeply personal thoughts, emotions, behaviors, relationships, spirituality, or other concerns.

Are you overwhelmed by work/school stressors? Feeling trapped in the continuous loop of anxious thoughts? Responsibilities and juggling many hats is hard. Having anxiety or depression, a mood disorder, or managing ADHD symptoms can make things more complicated. If you're struggling with negative thinking or unhelpful behaviors, I would love to hear from you to see how I can help. These are the kinds of clients I help gain self compassion and acceptance. You can move towards your goals by first understanding your patterns of thinking and acting. Gain new tools and strategies to be a healthier and happier you.

Accepting new clients - The Center for Connection, Healing & Change focuses on the creation of secure, close, and satisfying relationships- within us and between us. We choose to specialize in relationships because we know the importance of satisfying connections for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, be responsive to loved ones, set boundaries, deal with loss, move through stressful experiences, find our purpose, and access resilience in moments of need.

Ready to turn your heartache into a breakthrough? Here's the problem. You've been stuck for a while AND it's killing your happiness. You are tired of feeling empty and alone, even in moments that "should" feel satisfying. You're tired of being stuck. It's depleting you, and you've had enough. It's painful being stuck in heartache and hurt. You deserve a life and relationship you love, so you can live the wholehearted life you were meant to live. If you want to live fuller and love better, you've come to the right place.

I am a clinical supervisor for LPC residents, and supervisor for play therapy certification to become an RPT. A strong focus in family systems and internal family systems. I actively include parents and families in the treatment process. Also, a specialty with adults suffering from depression, anxiety, and trauma. I pull from treatment protocols that include CBT, Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR. I have a background in substance abuse counseling and value meeting a client where they are in strengths and struggles. I value a safe therapeutic environment and strong therapeutic relationship for success in therapy.

As a therapist, my goal is to partner with my clients to help them navigate life's challenges. We will embark on a journey together, in a safe and non-judgmental space. We will explore your personal story and discover what aspects of your life that no longer serve you. This process will help you to discover and become the most authentic, confident and healthiest person you strive to be. I believe in treating the whole person by encouraging a healthy approach to life through movement, nutrition, rest, play and anything you find life giving.

I specialize in PTSD. I am Trauma-Informed and EMDR-informed. We will be a team in your treatment process. I work with adults, couples, and families and have extensive experience with adolescents. Whether it's a couple's communication issues, an out-of-control teenager, anxiety, depression, or significant trauma history, we are a team. Together there are endless opportunities to live your best life. Let's get started today.

The only thing that is certain about life is change. Along with life can various transitions that can come with certain obstacles and challenges. Without the knowledge or tools how to navigate them, and most importantly, support, it can feel even more difficult. That’s where therapy can become a guiding light. My goal is to foster emotional well-being and personal growth with a holistic approach through a multicultural lens. That being said, there is no blanket statement and each client will be looked at individually for their unique strengths and abilities with a client-centered approach.

If you are feeling disconnected, helpless, or stuck, I can assist you in changing the patterns and ways of relating which might be holding you back. By prioritizing your sense of safety, welcoming heavy emotions, and guiding you to meet/heal unknown parts of yourself or your partner, you can gain freedom from the patterns in which you feel trapped. I work with individuals and couples, supporting them to understand the ways they manage stress through retreating inward and shutting down, or turning outwards for connection and validation. From there, I help clients to better understand who they are and what they need.
