Therapists in Easton, MD

Bottom line, I help people feel better. I approach all my clients with a sense of awe at their unique journey. I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each client because each has a unique story. I bring warmth and wisdom to the process of change, employing my significant experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety and eating disorders. First and foremost, I build trusting relationships with my clients, offering them a safe, non-judgmental space to explore issues, and express thoughts and process feelings.

Welcome to Outreach Recovery. My name is Donna Stefanik, and it's my privilege to guide you on a path that, although challenging, is teeming with hope and transformation. As the Vice President of Clinical Operations here, I bring an expansive background in facilitating healing and growth for those navigating the complexities of addiction and recovery. I'm deeply committed to ensuring that your journey with us is not just about healing but about rediscovering your strength and potential in a supportive and understanding environment.

My ultimate goal is to provide a non-judgmental space that will allow you to explore your concerns in a safe, compassionate, and caring environment. I rely on the therapeutic relationship being at the crux of change for the individuals and families I work with. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic response, relationship issues, or having difficulty adjusting to the chaos of the world, I'd be honored to help. I value working collaboratively with my clients to gain an understanding of where they are now and where they would like to be.

Therapy is not magic, research and common experience tells us its mostly about finding another human you feel safe enough with to look at all the unloved and unintegrated parts of ourselves that are causing suffering and preventing us from expressing our potential. Successful therapy often requires that we unlearn lesions form the past, make way and reflect on new experiences in the present, and find ways to accept and integrate all the parts of ourselves and our collective consciousness

I enjoy working with people who are ready to discover new possibilities for their lives. I use a continuum of verbal and non-verbal processing to improve relationships and free people to live richer and more satisfying lives. Carl Jung said "our goal is wholeness, not goodness". Taking a deeper look can mine less used parts and restore a balance that leads to living more from your true self. For direct contact, call 410-924-7372.

I have extensive professional experience working with individuals and groups in the public mental health field as well in my private practice.I believe that symptoms of distress that bring people into treatment are signs of health. Old ways of coping are no longer working and new ways of dealing with life are needed. I help clients connect with the internal resources they need to create the lives they long for.

Psychotherapy: Identifies the current challenges and their causes. Then we set goals and begin the action steps toward changes necessary to resolve your stress and begin the work of ongoing self-care and healing. Life Coaching: Personal and professional goals are the beginning of our work together. Then we co-design an action plan to achieve your goals in the most efficient manner. Coaching can happen by phone - an option that eliminates geographic boundaries. Together, these modes provide a continuum of care and are a valuable and exciting process for anyone who desires optimum health, happiness and wellbeing.

There are times throughout our lives when we feel stuck. Wanting to move forward, out of the darkness and into the light but not knowing how to take that first step and often not having the energy to do so. Sometimes that feeling of being stuck or the heaviness that comes with it, just comes out of nowhere leaving us confused and frustrated. Other times it is because we are moving through some pretty big life changes and we start to doubt ourselves and our worth. You have everything you need within you to heal, to move forward, to start over, and to live the life you you have always dreamed of. Allow me to help lighten your load.

Love each other better. All relationships go through harmony and disharmony. Healthy couples know how to repair. It is in this repair that couples develop deeper connection, intimacy and trust. Many of us are flying blind in our relationships. We never learned or saw what happens in healthy, cherishing relationships. Let me teach you. In relationship therapy, we identify the relational dynamic that is distressing and work to change it. I am only accepting couples/relationships for therapy at this time.

Our group practices offer a variety of services tailored to your individual need. We offered individual, group, family counseling as well as psychiatric evaluations and ongoing medication management. We believe the best course of treatment is the combination of medication management and psychotherapy when medication is needed for your treatment.

Ready to stop feeling frustrated with your life, your thoughts, and the people closest to you? Disappointed with therapists that haven't helped in the past? I hear you! Therapy with me is a different experience. I am a solution focused therapist with a specialty in empowering people who have experienced trauma in their lives. By trauma I mean: difficult parents, challenging relationships, and all the forms of losses that never seem to stop comming. Whatever it is... I've got you! I am a trauma certified therapist and I help my clients live the life they want to live, not the life the didn't get a choice to live.

I'm a unique therapist that treats a wide array of mental health disorders. We focus on resolving past and current issues/trauma, finding solutions and eliciting organic change. If we are not solving your problems, I am wasting your time. My practice goes far beyond talk therapy, we do work. We explore childhood, adolescent and other lifetime experiences that impact our psychological functioning. To permanently resolve our disorders we must revisit and resolve these thoughts, feelings and events. I utilize DBT as part of my treatment approach and we engage from the first minute we meet.

Everyone, during various times in his/her life, goes through difficult times. You may be confused about which direction to go, how to handle change, how to parent difficult children, how to manage the care of elderly parents in addition to your own life responsibilities, and/or how to improve important relationships.

Relationships are important to all of us. There are links between the quality of your relationships and your quality of life. That is why major life changes like starting or ending a relationship, grief and relationships conflicts can be so distressing. As our relationships suffer, so does our mood. And as our mood suffers, so do our relationships. Can this cycle be broken? Can it be reversed?

To quote from C.S. Lewis, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” I would like to help you create the ending, a fulfilling life, as well as release hurts and heal and create ways to move forward. Together we will explore what you want and why. I believe everybody has the potential to grow no matter where they are in life. If you have ADHD, depression, anxiety and more, I am connected with a medical prescriber. I have eleven years plus experience as a school-based therapist and as a clinician for children to adults of all ages.

I understand the challenges an individual, couple or family face as they age; illness, dementia, declining physical health, relationship changes or the loss of a loved one. This all too often results in depression, anxiety, caregiver fatigue or a feeling of being alone or lost. Together, we work on understanding the issues at hand towards a feeling of living life, not just existing to deal with the daily grind.
