Therapists in Towson, MD

I am a trans & queer identified psychotherapist with clinical training influenced by person centered, relational, and family systems theory. I value the importance of providing my clients with unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy and use an intersectional lens to ensure my clients are truly seen. I provide compassionate, authentic, and skilled therapy to support and empower my clients.

Hi, I'm Kitt! I'm the owner of Defiant Therapy, LLC, a practice that offers an affirming space for clients to embrace "defiance" - a sense of trust in oneself that leads you to challenge expectations. I value creating relationships with clients that allow them to be free to discover their expansiveness, care for the parts of themself that need tenderness and fierce compassion, and get clear about the change they need and the acceptance they deserve. I work with individuals (adults and adolescents), relationships of two or more, and families who want and need this radical space.

My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported and understood. Whether you are coming to therapy to navigate difficult life changes, in order to set healthy boundaries, for support in reframing your anxious thoughts, thinking through how your past family dynamics affect you or navigating your identity, I am here to offer encouraging guidance, direct engagement and nurturing support. Therapy is a collaborative process and I take a relational approach to support you in expressing yourself authentically, navigating change, reframing negative self talk, setting healthy boundaries and supporting you in enhancing the way you cope.

Teens (13+) and adults gain insight and skills to decrease or eliminate anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, grief, that make school, relationships, work and everyday life difficult.

We'll identify triggers, understand how past experiences affects and informs the present, improve ability to regulate, and uncover patterns/trauma that impact you and implement new behavior patterns.

During our time together, we will explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain insight into the things going on in your life. We will then work to equip you with the tools you need to build a life you envision for yourself and adapt to adversity. I provide a safe space to be seen, heard and to receive support.

Want to support your transgender or nonbinary child? Looking for a therapist with some shared lived experiences but also plain old therapist experience?

I work from the belief that clients are the experts of their lives, and my role is to create a safe/supportive space for us to collaborate in developing goals and implementing a plan for change. As John Donne said, “no man is an island, entire of itself,” so I also integrate contextual theories to address the roles family of origin, gender, faith, relationships, culture, society, ability and nationality play as we work towards their goals and develop/improve skills in mindfulness, awareness/understanding of emotions, thought flexibility, self-motivation, values-based actions, self-compassion and other cognitive behavioral skills.
