Culturally Sensitive Therapists in 22032

No matter who you are or where you are in life, it has it's challenges! Don't go it alone! I'm passionate about creating the space for you to be your authentic self while helping you take steps to live your best life. I provide creative interventions for youth (8-18), especially those involved in court services, school disciplinary action, foster care, or have had traumatic experiences. I also work directly with families to help create the communication and atmosphere they desire. I help adults find purpose and direction, as well as strategies for managing depression, anxiety, life's stressors and transitions.

Seeking therapy can often be a difficult decision and can create anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. However, Dr. Khanchandani functions from the foundation for a positive experience in therapy which first begins with establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Doing so, can encourage positive growth towards goals. Therapy is facilitated with transparency about what to expect from the process and goals are formulated collaboratively. Interventions are recommended based on individual's goals and needs. Effective and open communication is encouraged about therapeutic process and progress on goals

Since 1986, I have been working with children, teenagers, and adults who experience depression, anxiety, trauma, family and relationship challenges, and adults with a serious mental illness.

Everyone needs a place for space. A space to be heard. A space to share whatever you want. A space to process feelings, try out new perspectives, laugh, cry, grieve, be angry, talk about betrayal, to fight inner demons, to be brave, to be nervous, to simply BE whoever you are. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing space for people to process whatever they are dealing with. People come to me with a wide range of different issues. I am an eclectic therapist but tend to focus on using cognitive behavioral therapy. I love to meet new people, and I would love to work with you.

I support clients' healing goals through self-compassion and mindfulness skills. Through compassionate reflection on relationships with self, family, friends, and society, I work with clients to identify and heal patterns of painful self-talk; patterns that can make us feel stuck and overwhelmed.

We all may experience everyday challenges in personal relationships, employment, and life transitions, resulting in stress, depression, anxiety, substance use, and other symptoms preventing us from living a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Part of it is that we are not aligned and instead we are stuck repeating patterns and holding to negative perceptions about ourselves and the world. I work under the premise that each individual has the capacity to heal old wounds by FINDING MEANING TO LIVED EVENTS, ADAPTING, TRANSFORMING, and FINDING BALANCE in life.

Hi! I work with adolescents and adults on matters that include but are not limited to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life changes, and relationship concerns. My main goal is to create a relaxed environment that allows my clients to feel comfortable and safe. The therapeutic bond is very important as I strive to create a personable, casual, yet effective environment for change for each unique person and their needs. I aim to be the bridge for my clients as we work through change and growth goals together.

Whether you're looking for support for yourself or someone else, this is an important first step in figuring out who you can trust. It's not a simple decision and reading a profile is only a slight glimpse into who I am as a provider. I get it. In a way you're taking a trust fall into the universe and you're hoping the right person is there to catch you so you don't thump to the ground. I'm far better at catching others before they fall than myself. Nicknamed "Crash Gordon" when I worked at FCPS, I was known for losing my balance occasionally but never losing track of a student, staff, or family need. Everyone is safe with me!

We all get stuck at one time or another in our ways of relating to others, reacting to loved ones, or resisting personal change. We can feel overwhelmed by loneliness, isolation, or life circumstances and our ability to cope with them. We find that we are not living authentic lives we can be at peace with due to anxiety, depression or even our past. I understand it can be hard to reach out for help when others depend upon you or expect you to have it all together. Have you tried everything else, and now you find yourself here? Know that you are not alone. Your concerns are valid and worthy of attention. Let's explore them together.
