Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.

I provide gender-affirming, empathetic, strengths-based, person-centered counseling for anyone looking to align their lived experience more closely with their values and identities. Of all the beliefs and commitments that motivate my work, none is more important than the calling to imagine and work toward more just and equitable futures.

From my point of view, therapy is the process of creating a life that feels meaningful to you while dealing with pain in authentic and useful ways. I’ll warmly support you throughout the journey. When you're ready, we’ll begin by developing a therapeutic relationship where every aspect of you feels welcomed, even the parts that feel overwhelming or embarrassing sometimes. I want you to know that you’re connecting with me, a real person, not a blank slate. This might look like shared laughter, ongoing discussions about what feels best for you, and finding small ways to alleviate societal pressures.

In the intricate web of modern existence, where complexity thrives and our social circles contract, the vitality of our relationships, partnerships, and unions is elevated to unprecedented significance. As a practitioner deeply immersed in contemporary Jungian insights and inspired by the relational wisdom of Ester Perel, I serve as a guide—a Licensed Psychotherapist and Certified Sex Therapist—committed to navigating individuals, couples, and families toward the realization of profound and nourishing connections.

De'Trece (affectionately called Ms.Dee) comes with over 20 years experience as an arts educator and administrator, music therapist and mental health clinician. In addition to providing professional development trainings and consulting services around social emotional learning, diversity/inclusion in urban educational settings, and arts integration, she is passionate about supporting educators, clergy and other helping professionals around issues of identity, spirituality, compassion fatigue and burnout, trauma and grief.

Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

I believe that healing is a collaborative journey of connection, growth, and transformation, and that every individual has the innate ability to heal and grow to live a valued and meaningful life. I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where you will feel seen and valued, partnering with you to foster a deeper connection with yourself and others. Together, we will celebrate both progress and the quest for greater well-being while honoring your unique path as you build strength and resilience to move from surviving to thriving.

I specialize in working with people navigating various challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, self-esteem issues, and transitions in life. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment that feels welcoming and free from judgment, allowing us to collaborate effectively in equipping you with the necessary skills to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life. We'll work together to identify your personal goals and develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs. I primarily use dialectical behavior therapy and self-compassion techniques to enhance coping strategies and overall well-being.

Let me help you tell your story. Nietzsche famously said, "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." I believe that we spend our lives looking for answers and meaning in life, and my passion is helping others untangle their darkest fears, their deepest worries, and emerge feeling both freer and more in control of their lives. I will walk beside you in the darkness--not leading, but guiding with a gentle hand as you move toward a brighter future.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and dynamic. I see the therapy process as highly individualized and so I strive to meet the unique needs and preferences for all clients. My approach is geared towards building understanding of internal responses to life experiences and building self-empowerment and lasting change.

Accepting new clients starting May 20th 2024! I believe that all people have their own inherent wisdom and as a counselor, I aim to support clients to embody their truest, most authentic self. I use a non-pathologizing model to support you to identify and understand your individualized needs. I find that understanding, empathy, and collaboration, with a focus on grounding in the here and now develops self compassion and acceptance. Often when we are in pain we have trouble accessing those parts of ourselves. Healing and recovery can happen within a safe and compassionate relationship and I aim to provide that container with you.

Feeling depressed, anxious and stressed? These feelings can impact our most important relationships. And, our most important relationships can activate theses feelings in us as well. Being able to talk with someone in a non-judgmental atmosphere can be helpful as we explore your thoughts and feelings in new way. Therapy can also help us to look more closely at the repetitious patterns in our feelings and behaviors and learn, though reflection, self discovery and insight, how to re-frame and rebuild our lives in a way that brings us joy and hope!
