Couples Counseling Therapists in 20814

I help teens and adults who are struggling with a variety of issues whether they're at home, school, or work. I'll help you look at patterns of behavior, your upbringing, environment and current interactions so we can determine the next steps for you to take toward your goals.

I specialize in helping people suffering from depression, anxiety (mood disorders), early trauma, family or personal transitions, relationship concerns (including marital and/or family issues), psychosomatic issues, losses, and grief issues that are inevitable throughout our lives. I focus on understanding the underlying fears and blockages that interfere with more satisfaction and enjoyment in life--put another way, in thinking about our psychological lives and our states of mind, the past is prologue. I deeply value the uniqueness of each patient's experience and the importance of active and supportive collaboration in promoting growth and change.

Tired of having the same argument with your partner or certain family members? Find it hard to talk about sex with your partner? If so, individual and/or couples therapy can help!

Are you feeling worried, sad, confused, or generally stressed? Collaborating with a therapist to gain insight into these feelings can provide relief. Having a confidential, supportive, and reliable atmosphere to talk through troubling thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can lead to a greater sense of control and satisfaction in your life. I work with clients to develop a deep understanding of the challenges they are facing and to help them make life altering, sustainable changes. Feel free to give me a call if you'd like more information and we can discuss what might be helpful for your particular situation.

My individual clients include those dealing with mental health challenges; making decisions about career or relationships; or pursuing more fulfilling approaches to life. I work with couples of all ages, stages, and compositions, addressing communication, infidelity, loss of passion, infertility, parenting, strengthening relationships, and deciding. I work with couples struggling to decide if and how to continue to work on deeply troubled relationships and solidifying commitment. I see families dealing with communication issues, creating appropriate boundaries, and working through separation, divorce, and blended family issues .

Couple and family therapy can sometimes serve as an efficient and effective strategy to improve the wellness of the whole family system. Sometimes severe psychological distress and suffering is located within the couple or family, rather than solely within a given person as it may appear at times. I have built up a strong skill set to offer a particular form of couple and family therapy known as "psychoanalytic couple/family therapy" which zeroes in on the undercurrent, unconscious meanings for destructive, relationship patterns that are outside the awareness of the couple/family.

Most people would change what is making them unhappy, if they could. I feel my job is to help you become aware of the parts of yourself that are negatively impacting you.I help you look at the patterns that are making you feel stuck. We work together to understand what prevents you from attaining a better relationship with yourself and your loved ones. I believe that all humans desire to understand and to be understood. I create an environment where you can just simply be yourself.

Change can be unpredictable and sometimes stressful to the point that it may disturb a family, trigger anxiety or depression, generate relationship problems in adults and behavioral problems in adolescents and children. Having lived in different countries myself, I can understand how difficult it is to adapt to new life situations.

I help my clients to discover, appreciate and expand their own strengths in order to feel better about life, love, work and recreation. As a therapist with over 40 years experience, my style is warm, direct and interactive. My clients and I form a team, working together to understand and resolve your problems. Our focus is on the whole person: your mind/body, your relationships, and your environment. I guide you with a combination of positive support and gentle challenges.

We work with individuals, couples, families, and children. We specialize in addiction, eating disorders, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, family conflict and grief. Our greatest intention is to help clients understand themselves better and improve their quality of life and relationships. We cater our approach to each client, responding to their own unique problems and personality style. This is not a "one-size-fits-all" practice.

...and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom - anais nin. Do these words resonate with you? Are you stuck in emotional, physical or spiritual pain? Ready to get unstuck? Blossom and grow? I am a clinical social worker with 25 plus years of experience in a number of mind/body/spirit theories and practice. My private practice is woman-centered and I am presently providing therapy to individuals. I am licensed in both Maryland and Pennsylvania and available to provide therapy to you in both locations.

I have helped individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and groups deal with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, and relationships.

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important step in the therapy process. A trusting relationship allows clients to feel safe when exploring deeper issues and taking risks.

Are you struggling to care for yourself and your family? Are you feeling burned out? Are you struggling to stay happy and healthy in your relationships? What's worked in the past isn't working now? Are you prepared for the future and know don't have the right tools? My job is to help you harness your power and develop the necessary coping skills and plans for today and your future. Exhaustion, frantic thinking, and limited coping skills are not enough. This won't get you through this year.

I believe it shows courage to seek out therapy, especially couples and family therapy. You may be struggling with serious emotional issues, deep personal crises, relationship distress, or a sense of distance with your child or adolescent. Many couples I work with have lost a sense of connection and/or find themselves hurting each other over and over again. Many individuals I work with simply want to get more from their lives - more love, joy, and connection. I collaborate with you to create a therapy environment that is warm, safe, supportive, challenging when needed, and authentic.

I am passionate about helping my clients improve their relationships and alleviate suffering to find meaning, purpose, and build a life worth living. I also recognize how difficult the path of seeking help and making change can be and I will provide my skills, support, and compassion to you as you navigate your journey. Whether you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, isolated, burned out, or stuck, I will work with you to get through the challenges and difficulties you face.
