Somatic Therapists in Annapolis, MD

Accepting new clients- scheduling for April/May. The relationship between therapist and client is one that is unique, vulnerable and brave, built on attunement, trust, and compassion in a nonjudgmental and warm space. My practice is deeply rooted in meeting each of my clients where they are on their journey, empowering them to utilize their voice and work on treatment goals that are important to them. Therapy looks different for everyone, and I am here to help sit alongside this journey with you, when you are ready.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by my site. I’m at: www.young adultcounselingandretreats.com. I offer counseling and retreats for young adults, ages 18-30, coping with life transitions, anxiety, trauma, grief, identity exploration and mind/body/spirit connection. I’m committed to affirming identities for all folks and honor each client as a unique individual, who is the expert of their own journey of self-discovery, healing and growth.

Specializing for over 35 years in recovery from trauma, grief/loss, addictive tendencies, and stress-related illnesses, Linda’s life work has been a unique synthesis of somatic therapies (body), developmental psychology (mind), and applied spirituality. Her approach integrates principles of integral, Jungian, and transpersonal psychology, 12 step recovery & evolutionary spirituality. Psychosomatic integration (PSI) sessions deepen subtle body awareness, reduce stress, and invite relaxation. Currently a doctoral candidate with a focus on transpersonal research designed to address transgenerational and collective trauma.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious or discouraged? Feeling unfulfilled or overwhelmed? Are there issues from the past that seem to intrude into your present life? Do you isolate and avoid? Are you experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, relationships, work or sleep issues? You can find relief and move forward in your life. Looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation? Are you considering a move in a new direction?

Whether your challenge comes from a past or recent trauma, relationship or interpersonal issues, addictions, issues of loss and letting go, anxiety, depression or just general life-confusion, there are many tools to employ to recover and reset yourself. And doing it with a supportive partner can make all the difference. Therapy is a chance to get to know yourself on a more intimate level, to bring balance to the body, mind and daily habits, clarify values and goals and get you moving in a direction that brings light, joy and purpose back to living. It teaches you grounding, new perspectives and new coping skills.

I believe one of the most healing things we can do is begin to understand our stories and how it affects our everyday life and relationships. Many of us carry our past traumas into our present-day lives. These traumas can manifest in many different ways such as anxiety, emotional numbness or relationship challenges. The clients I work with have oftentimes experienced complex relational traumas in childhood and dysfunctional family dynamics. Through these difficult experiences, we oftentimes develop coping strategies and protective behaviors. These strategies were often helpful and necessary but may no longer be serving you now.

What if everything we’ve been taught about life is a myth? What if the traditional formula for health and happiness doesn’t pertain to you? Are those rules about fitting into someone else’s version of what life should be? Do those rules inspire you, or do they keep your life - and your dreams - small? Solving problems in your head is an old-school and outdated strategy. Accessing the wisdom of the body is the new paradigm. At Next Generation Core, we will dig deeper to build a growth mindset.

Are you feeling stuck? Disconnected from your body? Living life in survival mode? Maybe there's always been a sense of anxiety in the background. You find yourself always needing to be busy, going, and doing to distract. Or, you may find yourself frozen for long periods of time; time slips away. Maybe you feel burnt out, drained. Perhaps you want more connection in your life - to your authentic self, to others, and your body. You want to be able to speak your truth and live your life from a place of connectedness rather than disconnectedness.

It's not easy to take these first steps in your healing journey (or to start again if this isn't the first time you've done this). I look forward to helping you discover your own strength and inner resources as we work together toward your healing and overall wellness.

In today's world, there is little time for reflection, for nurturing relationships, mentoring our children, or caring for our elderly parents. We often need a refuge from the confusion we experience in our daily lives, a time to clarify what's important and what's not important, as well as a safe place to begin making changes. I offer psychotherapeutic services based on the interrelation of body, mind, and emotion. Together, we will endeavor to examine our feelings and link them to words, connecting personal history with current life events and relationships.

I am a strong believer in therapy being a collaborative, healing, and restorative experience. As Pema Chödrön once said, “Let difficulty transform you. And it will. In my experience, we just need help in learning how to not run away.” But that’s easier said than done – what are the steps to getting to a better place? Where do you even start? You are not alone in this journey. I take great pride in building a therapeutic connection and a safe space for you to be your genuine self so that you may find that resiliency within.

I specialize in betrayal trauma, affair recovery for couples, as well as sex and porn addiction for male/female and Mother Hunger. Have you hit the “work required” part of your relationship? I am trained to address intimacy issues and support you to restore healing and peace. Our space will be a place where we work to understand the "why" around what is happening in your life and where we identify how to change what isn't working for you. Once we understand these origins, we can help you to highlight your strengths while overcoming the hurdles and challenges that are in the way of your life goals, happiness, and daily peace.

My goal is to help individuals overcome emotional, mental & spiritual obstacles that prevent them from living life to the fullest and living up to your potentional without guilt. Combined with different modes of therapy to help you overcome addiction, trauma, grief and relationship issues.

Hello and Welcome! Relationships are key to understanding who we are. From birth to the present, our past relationships affect our current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. At some point in life, most of us encounter personal roadblocks that create stress and unhappiness, overwhelm our coping mechanisms and undermine growth. Psychotherapy is a resource to help people heal, learn new skills, and develop greater self-awareness and strength. I offer clinical expertise to provide guidance, new perspectives, and to raise awareness of root issues that may be behind current problems. Together we will address these problems and underlying dynamics.
