I work with clients to create a safe and affirming relationship so that there is room for healing and growth. My work with each client is unique, however central to my work is respect for your issues, concerns, and the challenges you face in your life. I see therapy as a partnership where we work together to create the changes that you are seeking in your life. I am comforatable working with a wide variety of issues from career and work life to recovering from childhood trauma and abuse.

Accepting new patients- I am a seasoned clinician with extensive experience as a therapist for adolescents, adults, couples, parents, and families from various cultural backgrounds. My goal is to team with clients to reach a better emotional place. Working with your personal strengths and specific goals, we can help you gain new skills to cope with and overcome your challenges. My style is collaborative and we can find solutions together. Success requires honesty, understanding, strong communication skills, and a willingness to work through difficulties. Often people shy away from getting help.

Are you looking for someone to understand and be there for the teen or young adult in your life? Hi, I am Abba. I am friendly, encouraging, and compassionate. I see clients 12 and up experiencing difficulties at school and/or in their family settings. I spend a lot of time working with children and teens in various settings, providing me with a holistic picture of the daily challenges children and teens face. My passion is to help teens/young adults feel that they have someone who understands them and is in their corner as they navigate the complexities of the crucial developmental years.

The professionals at The Counseling Center of Maryland use a variety of techniques to help improve the quality of life for individuals, couples, groups, and families.

We provide treatment and counseling for anxiety, depression, grief, emotional regulation issues, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and parenting. Through active and evidence based strategies we help empower our clients to make choices that evoke positive changes in their lives. Together, we will look at feelings, thoughts and behaviors as vehicles to affirmative changes.

Selecting the right therapist is an important, personal decision. You deserve to work with someone who is compassionate and highly skilled in helping to bring about desired changes in your life. In nearly thirty years of clinical experience, I have helped people attain more satisfying personal and family relationships, cope with symptoms of anxiety or depression, and learn to better manage the stress of daily life.

We overcome difficulties, adjust to changes, and manage difficult emotions best when we do not have to go at it alone. I offer a supportive partnership to help you identify your goals and build capacity to experience joy, compassionate self regard, and healthy rewarding relationships. I have over 35 years of experience helping children, couples, adults, and parents who may be feeling stuck, alone, sad, anxious, or unable to find the forward motion to reach goals for well being. Together we can create a safe space to address difficult emotions, and identify resources and habits that support resiliency and wellness.

My core belief in therapeutic practice is that everyone has inherent value and strength, that with the right support, can be harnessed to create positive changes and meaningful growth. Offering a safe place where self-exploration, processing, and healing can be done, I will help you to build insight, resilience through healthy coping skills, and empowerment in reaching your therapeutic goals. Whether it is improving communication, changing behaviors, healing from trauma, or having a consistent and dependable ally in your mental health, I will support you each step of the way.

Have you just about given up all hope because your life "has always been this way?" Perhaps you are having difficulty adjusting to a loved one with a developmental disability. Or maybe your child is facing difficulties of their own. Whatever the challenge is, I believe that you have the autonomy to edit and make meaning of your story.

I have been helping individuals and couples work through difficult issues in order to have a more fulfilling life for over fifteen years. Having been trained to work with people across the lifespan has enabled me to integrate an understanding of the origins, development and resolution of behavior and relationship patterns which are presently holding the client back from important accomplishments or feelings of well-being in their lives, even though these patterns may very well have historically originated out of a functional need.

Perhaps you feel sad, incapable, overwhelmed or responsible for the hardships you've suffered either personally or between other people? Is your self-understanding based on how other people think or treat you? Whatever your struggle, the first step is finding support. I know asking for help can be hard and may seem to make things worse, like your fears are real. But let me pause and remind you that your life does not have to be dictated by others or negative feelings. Finding true freedom in relationships and with yourself is really possible! You just have to take that first step, in fact you're already doing it.

Hi, my name is Sapna (she/her) and I am a trauma-informed therapist and licensed social worker in Washington, D.C. and Maryland. I was a special education elementary school teacher for 5 years before I switched careers, so I especially love working with children and adolescents with special learning needs (ADD/ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiance Disorder, Emotional Disturbance, & learning, developmental, or intellectual disabilities). I am also passionate about working with young adults, couples, and families dealing with grief, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Her previous work history includes: supervising visitation between parents and their children, working as a school counselor in a public charter school, providing intensive, home-based therapy to children with intense emotional and behavioral needs, and providing clinical case management to LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Victoria believes strongly in client-oriented services and that everyone should have access to the opportunities and support that they need to succeed. Victoria is also passionate about self-improvement and continuing to learn throughout your life.

We all have areas of our lives in which we thrive and areas that cause us stress and worry. Recognizing our strengths and weaknesses and finding ways to maximize our potential are critical to developing a fuller, more satisfying life. I am an eclectic psychologist who uses multiple approaches as I work with my clients to uncover problematic behavior patterns in their lives. Once we understand what is causing the difficulties, we develop coping mechanisms and tools to incrementally work towards a more fulfilling life.

Stress and emotional pain are feelings that we all experience and often times it can become overwhelming, especially now! Often we find unhealthy ways to cope with the pain that we are feeling and our problems get worse. With my experience as a therapist, I have helped many young people walk the path to a healthy form of emotional healing. Whether you yourself or your child is struggling with feeling down, having excessive worry, struggling to concentrate, acting out, or drinking/smoking too much, therapy can help.

Do you find yourself wanting more out of life? Better relationships and a deeper connection with friends, family and significant others. Are you having trouble meeting expectations? Or saying “No" then resenting saying yes? Do you have issues with setting boundaries? 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.

It is my passion to collaborate with and empower others to not just survive through life but to find a way to living fully and thriving. I work to be an ally in achieving your goals and your desires. Finding a way to enjoy and be confident in your career and job experience, creative outlets, and social life can really happen.
