Je m'appelle Dr. Arlette Atioky, psychologue agréée de l'état du Maryland.

J'offre une aide psychologique en présentiel aux résidents de l'état du Maryland et en ligne à ceux qui vivent aux Etats-Unis. N'hésitez pas à me contacter!

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who are curious and hungry for more connection to themselves and others in their lives. When you start therapy, I will talk with you about what brings you to therapy, the life you want to create and what you think holds you back. I will reflect with you on how it feels to be with and collaborate with you on your own thriving. You are likely to display the same intra- and inter-personal patterns with me that enhance or impede your progress in your relationships at work and home. Most of my clients start therapy because of depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and work challenges.

You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved.
I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety.
As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.

Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, I work with individuals and couples from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Do you feel stuck in painful patterns with your partner—or alone in your struggles? I help couples and individuals move out of reactivity and into more connected, intentional ways of relating, heal old wounds, and restore hope. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, self-esteem concerns, and relationship conflict.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy and enriched by mindfulness, somatic practices, and positive psychology. Together, we focus not just on understanding patterns, but on shifting how you experience yourself and your relationships.

My background spans business, healthcare, and education, and I’ve lived and worked abroad (bi-culturally French/American).
The past few years have stretched many of us in unexpected ways. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for support, therapy can be a powerful place to regain clarity and steadiness. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship challenges, major life transitions, parenting stress, and work/unemployment pressures.
I tailor our sessions to meet your needs using cognitive, behavioral, and acceptance-based approaches. And I've had success with various styles of therapy ranging from classic, evidence-based techniques (e.g., CBT) to informal life-coaching.

In individual therapy people experience an awakening of awareness about themselves which gives them greater agency to implement the change they seek. As a group therapy expert, people who join my group can expect an improvement in their relationships from exploring themselves in relation in the safety of my office.
