Anxiety Therapists in 21701

I am currently only accepting clients who are interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). If you have been feeling "stuck" for an extended period of time, have tried traditional therapy and not found any progress, or are suffering from a traumatic event(s) that have left you with PTSD, chronic depression and anxiety, you may be a good candidate for KAP. KAP has shown breakthrough results that can help you find the *release* you've been searching for.

Welcome! I consider it a privilege to walk alongside another’s life journey. I am here to provide a warm, relaxed and compassionate space to explore your challenges and strengths. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD and pregnancy/postpartum issues. I have extensive experience working with teens and adults with ADHD and executive function difficulties. When treating ADHD, you NEED a therapist who wholeheartedly understands it and whose strategies are flexible to meet your specific needs. I value my authentic approach to connecting with others which leads to my clients feeling heard, understood, accepted and supported.

I use a strengths-based approach to help you rediscover your assets, strengths, and abilities. The revelation of these will help you overcome obstacles that may be standing in your way to live a healthier, happier, more fulfilling life. I will work alongside you at your own pace and comfort level to help create a warm, safe, nurturing, and most importantly trusting environment. Together, we will work towards your healing.

Do You Need Help Making Peace With Your Past and Letting Go? Are you anxious, depressed, or overwhelmed on the inside, yet work hard to remain competent and in control on the outside? I specialize in helping people recover/discover a calm, secure experience of life. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional or physical pain; whether you've had trauma in your past, or experienced a recent loss, break-up, illness or accident - I will help you understand what is happening, resolve disturbing feelings, and apply new skills and solutions.

Do you notice swirling thoughts that don't seem to have a viable solution often distracting you to the point you’ve missed several songs on the radio? Perhaps you’ve lost interest in activities you used to find enjoyable. Maybe you’ve found yourself engaging in compulsive behaviors such as online pornography, gambling, video gaming, shopping, or sex to distract yourself from your worries. Many who experience these issues are struggling with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, or family/relationship challenges. These symptoms can sap your energy and leave you feeling as though you've lost your way in your life's journey.

Navigating life's complexities can be daunting and unsettling at times, and that's perfectly alright. Our world is vast, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed or adrift. With support, discovering life's true essence becomes attainable. Life's splendor awaits, and I am here to illuminate it for you. By taking this initial step towards seeking assistance, you are embarking on a profound journey.

When an event or situation changes the way we see ourselves and the world around us, it most likely means we have experienced trauma. Trauma takes away our peace of mind, ability to connect with others, adapt to new life happenings, and much more. It can result in anxiety, depression, avoidance, panic attacks, loss of sense of self or grief that does not go away. If you or a loved one struggle with any of the above, then I welcome the opportunity to help create a structured treatment plan to regain back quality of life.

A licensed psychologist, I provide grief therapy as well as exposure-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Ages served: 3-25. Services are provided both in-office and via telehealth.

If you are here, you have taken a first step toward change. I applaud you for seeking guidance as you move toward greater wellness. I work with individuals who are ready to feel differently, live more fully, and enhance their well-being. Whether it is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back, we will work together in creating the life you seek. I offer a variety of approaches, and often interweave various skills to create a truly unique plan for your needs. I am honored to travel beside you as you wholeheartedly investigate how to live your best life.

Have you been in therapy before and it wasn't the best fit? Is this your first time searching for a therapist for yourself or for a loved one? Not sure if your stress in life is “enough” to need therapy? Good therapy is built on a relationship of warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be tough and it can be beneficial to have a therapist who really "gets you" by your side to navigate difficult times. Not all therapy sessions must be intense and serious! I can help you embrace the strengths you innately possess to have joy, laughter, and contentment in life.

I seek to empower each client's unique movement towards emotional and physical well-being, mindfulness, wholeness and spiritual awareness. Through encouragement, compassion and mutual respect this co-creative therapeutic process enhances each person's self-esteem, potential and growth. Together we will explore possibilities and new directions, thereby releasing stress, inner conflicts, dis-ease, self-defeating cognitions and dysfunctional relationships. Embracing change leads to feelings of joy, aliveness and at the same time peacefulness and calm.

Every day, we hear that our children are struggling. They’re overwhelmed by worry, sadness, anger, and stress. We see them tumble and spiral down a path of unhealthy choices and disconnection from their families. Parents become paralyzed by the fear of doing something wrong. They’re afraid of causing another door-slamming anger outburst but are tormented by the potential consequences of not doing anything at all. They’re left confused by how upset their teens get when their Snapstreaks get interrupted or a round of Fortnite is lost.

I am passionate about helping people create change in their lives through the process of psychotherapy and have 20+ years of experience as a counseling professional. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples to learn how to create healthy relationships and learn new ways of coping with life's challenges such as stress, anxiety, and depression. Couples can learn new ways of communicating and repair a relationship to create more intimacy. Together we can create counseling goals that fit your individual needs to create change in your life.

My approach to the therapeutic alliance is gentle and playful, yet direct. Therapy can be a fascinating collaborative journey of discovery and self-awareness that can be hard but empowering and fun, like exercising or completing a task. I am experienced treating a variety of issues to include trauma and PTSD, life transitions, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, men's issues, life coaching, and peer and relationship counseling. Bad news, betrayal, loss and change can arrive unexpectedly and knock us off-center, leaving us feeling stuck and unsure of the next step.
