Therapists in Towson, MD

Life after experiencing trauma can be met with dysregulation and an inability to cope, function, or see a future beyond the traumatic experience. This often can leave one feeling isolated, lost, and misunderstood. I have extensive training in Trauma processing and work with adolescents, adults, and couples to identify skills to cope with and process their traumatic experiences. Whether you have experienced a single traumatic event or trauma throughout your life, we will work together to develop a plan that will relieve your trauma symptoms and provide you with a future that is free from your trauma.

My sessions are held in a confidential covid safe office or confidentially online. I also offer a comprehensive outpatient teen treatment program including group and individual therapy, for teen girls. All you need to do is call or email me, so we can develop a plan to make life better for you or your teen. Appts available this week!

Individuals of all ages can benefit from therapy; my goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my client, regardless of age, feels comfortable and able to grow emotionally. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C). I began my career as a school based clinician, transitioning to private practice in 2014. I love what I do as a therapist, and am fortunate to be able to blend my 30 years of experience and knowledge to support 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.

Every marriage and partnership goes through ups and downs. However, some struggles call for extra support and guidance from a trained couples counselor. Marriage counseling can have goals, such as improving communication around conflicts; bringing back the spark after feeling like roommates; learning how to blend families after remarriage; or even amicable co-parenting during a divorce in order to have minimal impact on the kids. Whatever brings you to couples counseling, my focus is always on the best interest of the relationship. In working with a marriage counselor, you will find that the “client” is the relationship itself.

An experienced therapist, I work with adults of all ages. I create a compassionate atmosphere where you can feel accepted and understood. Therapy is a partnership and feedback is welcomed. First, I want to help you to feel better NOW. We develop skills to reduce symptoms and solve problems. The root of the issue is addressed to ensure lasting improvement. We are sculpted by life's experience, relationships, and emotional patterns that may no longer work. Change begins with awareness, followed by the support and skills to begin to do/feel differently. Positive change feels better then old patterns.

I'm only seeing clients located in Maryland and fully virtual! I believe by exploring our past experiences and relationships we can find answers to better understand our own behaviors and thought processes. Our best healing happens throughout the context of a safe relationship and that is what I offer in therapy; a safe place where my client can explore their pain, trauma, hurt, and confusion in order to heal and live the most meaningful life possible. My clients know what their goals are and are excited to get to work but may need more accountability or support. Sometimes they aren't so clear and I can help with that, too!

I believe the first and most sacred job of a therapist is to create a safe, nurturing space where you are fully seen and heard. From that space, I will walk with you along your path of growth and healing, helping to guide you on your journey.

People come to me with the need for a non-judgmental space to explore their own lived experiences and express their thoughts and feelings. I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma and employ a client-centered, strengths-based approach. I help clients develop insight around factors influencing development, understand the mind-body connection, and explore individualized strategies for optimizing mental wellness. I have experience supporting clients around a variety of needs including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, neurodiversity, identity, special needs parenting, relationships, behaviors, and substance use.

Hi. How are you coping? Life keeps changing so drastically. It doesn't seem real. So many existential questions come to mind, for instance: how will I stay safe?; who's in charge?; what does the future hold? It makes sense that we feel sad, worried or even out of control. This is normal under the circumstances. What gives you joy and peace? What about: sticking to the facts; not panicking; limiting the news; laughter; hobbies; spirituality; loving family, friends and pets to the fullest? Talking to a counselor can also help. I'm available for in-person and virtual sessions. Virtual is convenient, safe and insurance covers it.

It can be difficult to admit the need for help. An African proverb states "He who conceals his disease cannot expect to be cured." Our clinicians have over 90 years of combined experience working with adults, children, adolescents, families, couples and groups through the healing process. Our expertise is in helping people heal utilizing traditional psychotherapeutic techniques along with non traditional spiritual interventions for those who desire to include spirituality into their treatment. We work with you in a manner consistent with your beliefs.

The journey to be your best self is too important to take alone. So it would be my pleasure to help guide you to a better, clearer tomorrow – mentally, physically, and emotionally. My approach as a psychotherapist is one of understanding where you are now, and then working together to reach the place you desire to be. We’ve all walked a unique life path and had different experiences that shaped us, so my approach is not cookie-cutter at all. I believe in hope, inspiration, and the power of the individual. We are stronger than we realize, but the key to mental clarity and emotional well-being sometimes remains elusive.

Do you feel life is spiraling out of control? Or you have to be everything to everyone else but feel alone when you’re in need? Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you put everyone before you and then don't have enough time for you or your dreams? Are you feeling “stuck” after giving so much, then to realize you’re not making progress in your life? More often than we realize, we tend to lose ourselves giving what we don’t have while trying to manage it all; parenthood, relationships, careers, and life situations. We then become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or stuck.

For over 20 years I've helped individuals, couples and families discover new pathways forward. We all experience times when we're feeling life is getting away from us. We feel as though we're missing the opportunity to maximize our potential. As a result, we feel sad, a little upset, and at times a bit disappointed in ourselves. Sometimes this is due to a lack of confidence or belief in our potential. Other times we simply find ourselves having to manage unexpected and unfortunate circumstances out of our control. If you've been experiencing increased anger, stress, anxiety, or fear of the unknown, know that things CAN get better.
