German Therapists in Towson, MD

You have experienced trauma as a First Responder (EMT, Firefighter, Military, Law Enforcement etc), witnessed a terrible accident, struggle to cope with stress and anxiety, mood or adjustment due to immigration, racial discrimination, refugee status or identity concerns (LGBTQ, African-American). If these issues are affecting your social, home, family or work life too much, therapy with me can help in several ways!

I am happy to serve anyone who needs help working through issues that have made their life more complicated or harder to deal with. I have helped people cope with grief and loss of loved ones, struggles in their relationship, or just the every day hardships that make it more difficult to get up and deal with the world.

We all possess natural wisdom and the inherent capacity for health and healing. By engaging in mindfulness and loving kindness practices and principles we can take an honest look at ourselves, cultivate gentleness and compassion and work more skillfully with the make-up that we have. With this as our foundation we can realize that times of difficulty and struggle are also opportunities for tremendous growth and discovery.

This is a problem solving practice. From inside a painful situation, it is often very hard to understand what is going wrong, or how to move forward when you may not really have a sense of where forward is right now. Sometimes, when we think we can't do things differently, it's just that we don't know how. That doesn't mean that every problem has a quick fix, but once you see it for what it is, there is usually help. Things can be better.

Thank you for your interest in my profile. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other daily life issues are great candidates for therapy with me.

Dr. Huntington has extensive experience helping adolescents, adults, and families improve functioning by increasing communication skills, sharpening boundaries, and building stronger relationships. Clients with anxiety, depression, grief, substance use problems, and general issues with adjustment have all benefited from his motivational, collaborative approach. Frank discussions help clients clarify values, examine emotion, and focus on the present in ways that are consistent with mindfulness-based cognitive behavior therapy. Clients soon spend less time struggling as they grow more accepting of themselves.New skills make them more optimistic and more eager to take on new challenges.

My main focus, developed over many years in public and in private practice, is help people to understand themselves better, leading towards growth and change, in their self-determined direction, to improve the quality of their lives. I try to think in terms of person-in-environment, which is a systems approach and it involves both the modalities of individual and family therapy. Healing relationships is an area of great interest to me. Ten years of practice in the realm of hypnotherapy has shown me the amazing power of the mind to bring about great change in even a limited number of sessions.

Being aware how difficult it is to reach out for help, I am committed to meet you where you are. I am a licensed Psychotherapist and Psychoanalyst. I focus on understanding intersections of thoughts, behaviors that have developed over a lifetime creating difficulties in the present. Together we will explore your internal world and how these dynamics inform your interactions with the external world. I have specialized knowledge in a wide range of issues including grief, postpartum, life/ international transitions and anxiety. I focus on the influence of race, culture and gender. I am LGBTQ+ affirmative and non- discriminatory.

How does anyone choose a therapist? The variety of options are daunting, and while many, many people have been to or go to a therapist, it is not a topic easily discussed, so it can be hard to find a recommendation. Many people resort to picking the person whose face looked nice, or went to a school they recognize, or work in a convenient location or accept their insurance. Often these techniques are sufficient, but when they are not it is a great loss, as it takes so much courage to look for a therapist in the first place.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy and reach their full potential. Life is filled with obstacles, struggles and difficult times from which we can learn. I offer a safe, nurturing and confidential environment to help you reframe your issues, move beyond your emotional pain and gently confront your challenges. I work with your individual beliefs and strengths to meet your needs, where you are in your emotional development.
