Therapists in Severna Park, MD

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing depression, anxiety, and issues related to parenting, trauma, technology/social media use, peer conflict, intimate partner violence/conflict, and major life transitions (eg. first-time parenting, leaving for college, returning to work, divorce, empty nest). I created and taught a graduate-level course at Johns Hopkins on social media's effect on mental health. My clinical training focused on survivors and offenders of sexual and domestic violence. I was awarded a fellowship for my work with teen moms on parenting, life skills, and college readiness.

I'm parent coach, Samantha Straub, owner of Teen Savvy Coaching (www.teensavvycoaching.com), where I help parents of teens and tweens step into your parenting role with calm and confidence. Adolescence is a time of significant transition–for kids and for parents. And kids don’t come with a manual. When kids hit their teen years, it’s not uncommon for families to experience increased chaos, conflict, and confusion. But it doesn’t have to be that way. I equip parents with the tools and knowledge they need to parent from their highest values, keep the parent-child relationship strong, AND raise thriving, independent young people.

I believe in a holistic approach to psychotherapy. Psychotherapy creates a safe space for wounded people to work toward healing within the security of the therapeutic relationship. I understand your problems through both clinical and spiritual perspectives. I believe that true healing and freedom come through faith in Christ Jesus so I am guided by the Holy Spirit within my clinical approach. I believe in the Biblical truth of John 8:36, "Whom the Son sets free is truly free indeed". My therapeutic practice reflects that freedom and healing are possible for all clients who are bound by psychological pain and trauma.

You have probably tried therapy before, but you're still hurting. You still feel stuck. I work differently than traditional therapists - using Evidence Based Psychotherapies - treatments proven to work by research. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are based in brain science. We can retrain your brain. We can work to build new coping skills and a different approach to emotional pain. Research shows these therapies work to help people like you feel more calm and connected to their lives. You can feel better. You can live better!

"Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other" - Louis Penny. It is inevitable that we will be wounded during the journey of life. Many of those wounds generally heal on their own. However some wounds cut deeper. They are unable to heal themselves and leave scars causing broken relationships, anxiety, addiction, insecurity, fear, and pain. Facing these wounds can be frightening and overwhelming, especially when facing them alone. Together we find the courage and strength to face and heal these wounds.
