Hello, my name is Darren Koch (pronounced "cook). I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Loyola University Maryland. A listener by nature and a teacher at heart, I instinctively gravitated toward a career in mental health. My unwavering passion for guiding others drives my desire to help folks through life’s obstacles.
In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters, exercising, laughing, and settling in with a good Stephen King novel.
One of my favorite quotes: Believe you can and you’re halfway there - Theodore Roosevelt
I am comfortable utilizing a multitude of treatment approaches including but not limited to CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Brief Dynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, and Evidence-Based Treatment. I believe in an attentive, collaborative, and empathetic mental health care model, which provides the ideal environment for positive change.
I aim to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. We will build a solid therapeutic relationship that will act as the driving force to meeting your goals. I look forward to working with you and guiding you through your journey to wellness!
