My clients gain insight, process their experiences and gain culturally sensitive skills to manage anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ADHD, depression, and PTSD. We'll also explore and address stress related to work, transitions, shame, guilt, self-esteem, disappointment, isolation, communication, relationships (any configuration), identity, culture, trauma, grief, and loss. I work closely with each person to develop personalized treatment plans that target specific symptoms, needs, and goals.

Hello! My name is Patty Knott and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice seeing clients in my Towson office and via Telehealth. I specialize in providing psychotherapy for children, adults, and families dealing with a range of challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief/loss, stress, illness, and relationships. My goal is to provide a safe and compassionate space where clients feel heard and supported as they navigate their unique experiences.

Life can be difficult at times, right? But who says we have to go through those times alone. I know talking to your friends or parents might help for a second, but you might not even feel comfortable sharing with anyone what you are going through. Seeking therapy to assist you on your journey to coping and healing is a big step, so applaud yourself for taking this initiative. I’m here to help you on that journey, whatever stage you may be in. I provide individual and family counseling for adolescents and young adults using person-centered, solution-focused, strength-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified perinatal specialist focused on maternal and paternal mental health concerns. I enjoy helping individuals find compassionate, strengths-focused ways of looking at themselves to create the change they want. I am interested in helping parents to-be and parents at all stages create their own versions of realistic parenting in today’s hurried and stressed society. I work with couples seeking relationship therapy that center on perinatal/postnatal or parenting concerns.

We each travel our own unique journeys that are influenced by our personal lived experiences, but life has many twists and turns and sometimes it is hard to find our way alone. Whether you are facing obstacles in your relationships or questioning who you are, I am here to travel with you on your unique journey. Using an integrative approach to therapy, I provide a nonjudgmental, safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings in the here-and-now. Together we will develop goals that address your specific needs and work collaboratively to help you navigate the challenges you are facing.

Hello and welcome to the first step in improving your quality of life. Mental health continues to be stigmatized in our society, but what if therapy is the key to relief and acceptance? I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) and I provide outpatient individual, couples, and family therapy. I obtained my master's degree from University of Maryland School of Social Work and I have 10 years experience working with diverse populations in the Baltimore area. I've worked in clinics, homes, and schools.

The stresses of life occasionally take such a toll on us that we need an experienced professional. I have 30 years as a mental health therapist and specialize in trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety and medical trauma. I also work with individuals suffering from the physical issues that often accompany a series of stressful events. I see adults, couples, and adolescents. I find a unique blend of cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, bibliotherapy and expressive techniques for each client. I also provide clients with community supports and resources to supplement our work together when appropriate.

Seeking to improve our relationship with ourselves and others can feel uncertain and overwhelming. As a therapist, I strive to remove barriers by providing an open, trusting, and nonjudgmental space where self-acceptance and healing can be fostered for individuals and partnerships. Difficulties such as life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, or unexpected events can leave us feeling disconnected and isolated. Through the collaborative experience of therapy, couples, polycules, or triads can find renewed, deeper bonds and individuals can untangle the past, process the current, and grow through supportive change.

Do you feel like you are stuck on a never ending road marked by depression, anxiety, fear, anger or confusion? If so, I can help you reach your path to emotional wellness. My 34 years of experience as a Psychotherapist and 19 years of experience as a Pastoral Counselor have equipped me to assist clients with developing coping mechanisms for emotional stability. I specialize in emergency assessments, crisis intervention, suicide risk evaluations and program development. My work has taken place in a government facility, correctional and educational institutions, medical hospitals and community outpatient programs.

Are you ready to get your life back on track? The journey of life is full of ups and downs. There is no way to predict what may happen or how those events may impact you. You may encounter roadblocks along the way that leave you feeling, hurt, angry, confused, anxious, or depressed. I will help you identify, navigate and heal from the physical, mental, and emotional barriers that are preventing you from reaching your full potential and living your best life.

I provide telehealth to clients in the state of Maryland, North Carolina and Ohio. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, conflict management and adjustment related issues. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psycho-Education and Eastern Medicine. These treatment modalities have been found to effectively treat the above mentioned conditions.

Couples who begin therapy with me are often feeling distant, unfulfilled, or trying to heal from a breach of trust in the relationship. My specialization is to help clients (couples or individuals) learn how to create deeper bonds & improve communication in relationships. In my work with couples, I use Sue Johnson’s Attachment-Based Couples Therapy (EFT) as a guide for this work. I also use The Gottman Method (Level 2 trained) as needed. In my work with individuals, I believe I can be most helpful to those who suffer from relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and life adjustment issues.

Do you or your child feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed? Or have days where you feel sad, depressed or isolated from the world? Do you struggle with friendships or relationships in your life where you feel unheard or misunderstood? Navigating through an ever changing world that's filled with constant stressors can be very difficult for most. It helps to have a safe space where you can process your feelings and emotions openly with no judgement. I pride myself in being a safe person for children, teens and adults to speak freely about their fears, challenges and worries. Support and guidance are my goals for our work together.

Are you struggling with obsessions, compulsions, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, body image issues, or trauma? Do you experience excessive guilt? Do you struggle with thoughts that are difficult to discuss or are taboo? Do you struggle to stick up for yourself or set boundaries with others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then we may be a great therapist-client match. I am passionate about working with OCD, anxiety disorders, and mood disorders and have experience and training in these areas.

Modern life can be stressful, complicated and confusing for even the most well adjusted individuals. The demands of maintaining success professionally while relating comfortably with friends, coworkers and significant others can be especially challenging. Despite one’s best efforts, the world has a way of piling on, sometimes at the worst possible time. These stressful events can be either profoundly traumatic in an instant or exert a powerful and consistent negative influence that gradually accumulates over the months and years and erodes what was previously a primarily positive outlook on life and feeling of being in control.
