Therapists in Towson, MD

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) who uses a client-centered approach when providing counseling services to adults of all backgrounds. I start working with clients where they are in their lives and use a strength-based approach to help clients explore their issues and offer them appropriate strategies and advice targeted to improve these areas of concern. I guide and support clients in implementing the necessary changes to improve peer and family relationships, emotional health, and overall quality of life at home, work, or at school.

Are you having trouble achieving, starting, creating, and/or maintaining your goals? Are you trying to develop more healthy, positive habits? Does your mindset seem to prevent you from moving forward in life? I use motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy as the primary tools to help illuminate a path toward achieving your goals, cultivating a positive mindset, and obtaining the results you're looking for.

I am a therapist with 23 years of experience. I provide individual, couples, and family psychotherapy. I am experienced in providing therapy to older children, adolescents, and their families in addition to counseling adults. I have been helping clients with serious behavioral and emotional challenges as well as well-functioning clients. I have worked with clients with adoption and acculturation challenges. I have background in outpatient psychotherapy, treatment foster care, and residential treatment. I like to help people overcome adversity and achieve their best potential.

We all suffer, and we all have to cope with it. I can help relieve people of suffering caused by maladaptive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving that they have been conditioned to repeat over time. I do this by building a relationship with them, then allowing that relationship to be the template for healthy interactions in life and a realistic perception of themselves and their situation.

Pierce takes special interest in Brainspotting and working with trauma. Brainspotting allows for deeper level processing through the body’s innate natural healing processes. Pierce believes we all have innate skills, but we are not always equipped to use those skills needed. Pierce’s number one goal is to create a safe space for those I work with while working towards the clients’ self-inspired goals. “All I ask is for you to come as you are and be open.”

For me personally, I find that any client is an ideal client. Every individual has within them their own internal timeline, mechanism, and capacity for change that is inherently correct for them. I do my best to respect this as a clinician. I do ask for an honest accounting of oneself to the best of their ability. If this is successfully reached, then the possibility for healing and moving forward from mental anguish is possible. It is my professional belief that when both the client and the therapist are fully open to the process that the work truly begins.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is central to success in therapy, and I work collaboratively with clients to design the best course of treatment. I am an active, genuine therapist with a humanistic and cognitive-behavioral focus. I promote self-awareness and positive interpersonal interactions while attending to the unique needs of each client. I work with adults of all ages on a range of client concerns including, but not limited to; anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, relationship issues, cognitive issues, and life transitions.

I have worked with individuals and families in a variety of treatment settings. My experience as a teacher, mentor, athletic coach, and Dean of Students has allowed me to distinguish the different developmental stages of children, particularly adolescent males. I have a dedicated interest in helping the youth to make constructive changes that allow them to reach goals that their confidence blocks them from obtaining. As a Practitioner working with families, I help clients make substantial changes that center around practical strategies and evidence-based practices that allow them to build strong, nourishing relationships.

In a non-judgemental and compassionate manner, I help people identify their role in these struggles and offer guidance towards their resolution. During our sessions, I will support you in confronting these issues using techniques that enhance your ability to engage in reality based/rational thinking, reasonable decision making and other behaviors that lead to psychological wellness and stability.

I use proven methods and unique engagement approaches to support you to make meaningful changes. Family dynamics and brain science have been a strong focus of my learning and work for the past 30 years and has shed light on the simple truth that most of us can learn and grow throughout our lives.

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.

As a therapist, I am here to empower you and walk with you, as we work together to reach your goals. My clients appreciate and value my authenticity, transparency, and candid approach. I understand and empathize with your struggles, as I have personally gone through extensive life experiences and adversities, which shape how I provide therapy and support. I am a Christian, Veteran, parent, and a person in recovery. You are not alone, and you don’t have to face your difficulties alone either.
