Family Therapy in Rockville, MD

When your own best thinking isn't helping you move forward through a challenge, finding a skilled therapist is a courageous thing to do. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I work with individuals and couples of diverse backgrounds and experiences to identify life patterns that get in the way of positive growth. I have the experience of over 20 years of practice informing all I do. I work best with individuals and couples who are motivated to take an active role in their therapy experience and apply what they learn outside of the therapy hour.

I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, mood disorders and recovery issues. I am particularly interested in how these emotional states effect a person's capacity to experience their full potential in intimate relationships. I use a holistic approach which takes into account the emotional, physical and spiritual well-being of the whole person.

DR. KAT McGRADY EXCLUSIVE TELETHERAPY SERVICES After years offering direct services through school counseling and private practice, I now offer my services exclusively through teletherapy. As I am a clinically licensed counselor in Maryland, Maryland residents may use my services to address issues of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns or life transitions. I listen with intent so that I may genuinely understand your needs and goals. I then tailor our time together to guide, teach and strengthen your capacity for health and happiness.

I know exactly what you're feeling: pounding chest, shortness of breath, lack of sleep. Our physical bodies react as well as our hearts and minds when life throws us curve balls that we don't know how to navigate on our own. I have been providing treatment for anxiety, relationship issues, and depression since 2003. If you want to learn more about how I can help, send me a message, call, or visit my website for a FREE Consultation to discuss what you are feeling today. Now Accepting New Clients in Delaware, Florida, Maryland, and Virginia.

TELETHERAPY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. My ideal client is willing to be introspective. They may present with a wide array of issues ranging from depression, anxiety, bi-polar, schizophrenia and adjustment and posttraumatic stress disorders, ADHD, substance and alcohol abuse, hoarding, LGBTQ+ related issues, sexual and physical trauma, relationship concerns and grief. Not only do my clients need validation and support, but they want to understand the function of their symptoms. My goal is to help clients make sense of their feelings and find ways to reduce their symptoms so that it does not interfere with their daily functioning.

I am passionate when it comes to therapy! Having the opportunity to help people find positive growth in their lives is so rewarding to me! I've spent 30 years working with adolescents in a variety of roles and settings. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to integrate family therapy, parent coaching, and kink informed therapy into my practice. It is so fulfilling to help my clients work through conflicts, become more resilient, and enhance their overall strength and unification. I have also enjoy doing insight based work with adults who are experiencing conflicts or transitions in their lives.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. IN-PERSON AVAILABLE. Just as each individual is unique, I see treatment as unique as well, meaning no single therapy approach can claim to be the solution to every individual that walks through my door. For as unique as you are, together we can make sense of your concerns, work towards your goals, and the quality of life you want and deserve.

Putting yourself first can be difficult, let me help you.

Hello and welcome! Sometimes our lives are stable; however, there are times where we are suddenly confronted with traumatic experiences or losses, such as health problems (dx. of cancer or terminal illnesses), the death of a loved one, separation of the family, loss of work, problems with our children, or academic struggles. These situations can make us feel unsure of our own capacities and emotional strengths which can lead to increased vulnerability, and can cause us to start experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety, or other emotional pain/fears.

Saludos! If you find yourself experiencing social anxiety, challenges with motivation, or perfectionism, I would love to connect with you. I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and I work with high achieving college and graduate students, early and mid-career professionals, educators, and people in the healing professions who are seeking ways to handle their harsh inner critic and break free from imposter syndrome. I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their values, build motivation, and liberate themselves from avoidant behaviors (e.g., procrastination) that hinder their ability to reach their goals.

I am so happy you’re here! As a client-centered counselor who specializes in trauma, anxiety, & relationships, my therapy focuses on providing a safe, supportive environment for you to express & explore your emotions while gaining practical coping skills. While working with me, you will receive a non-judgmental approach that is individually tailored to meet your specific needs & goals. My goal as a counselor is to partner with you to help you feel heard as we work to remove the obstacles and barriers in our lives and relationships that leave us feeling stuck and unfulfilled. All are welcome here: this is a nondiscriminatory space :)

Do you, your child, your teenager, or your young adult feel like you are alone even when you are surrounded by others? Do you feel like everyone is better than you, and there is no way you could ever measure up? Are you struggling to understand who you are and your place in the world? Do you feel your family doesn't understand what you are going through? All of these thoughts and feelings are normal. You do not need to process this alone! Therapy is a safe space to ponder these questions and their implications. In therapy, you can learn coping skills to feel more secure and confident in yourself, and your relationships.

Hello and welcome! Finding a therapist can be hard. I want to commend you for taking that first step. I approach therapy with a non-judgmental and trauma-informed lens. I use a client-centered approach and believe that the body and nervous system holds memories from our past. I strive to help you work through those memories in whichever way you feel is most comfortable. My goal is to create a safe environment that allows you to prosper. I use a variety of different interventions, honoring that you know yourself best and what helps one person, may not help another in the same way.

The decision to begin therapy is never easy; but it is a courageous step on your life's journey. Our current climate is fraught with uncertainty and constant change, which creates stress and anxiety in all of us. I am here to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help you on your journey, whether it is stress, anxiety, depression, grief or any other emotion facing you. Working together can alleviate the pressure and strain from these issues. We can face your issues, your needs and/or your goals and I am here to meet you where you are.

You’ve checked all the boxes, done all the right things, but there is a constant anxiety that constricts your chest and makes your mind race. It's hard to fall asleep, as you mentally go over all the things that need to get done, or didn’t get done. Good enough is a constantly moving goal post you just can't reach. You try to catch up but there aren't enough hours in the day. You're beginning to wonder if all this perfectionism is a shield, and somewhere the real you is lost inside.
