NOT accepting NEW couples until mid-June/early July...Therapy, we all have been given different messages (good & bad) about what it “means” to utilize it. In case no one has told you lately, seeking therapy does not mean something is wrong with you. Rather you are new to therapy and wondering what to discuss in session or have intermittently done therapy, I work to ensure my clients therapeutic journey is catered to meet their wants and needs.
Kionna Baskerville
Licensed Professional Counselor

My name is Kionna and I'm a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. I received my Master of Science in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling from McDaniel College. There are many stigmas associated with therapy. I am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health for
BIPOC
(Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ populations. The decision to start therapy can be difficult for many. I can assure you that every step of the process will be intentional and purposeful. I love the saying “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” It is my goal to keep you hydrated and nourished while on this journey together.
Monique Rodriguez
Counselor, LGPC

My ideal client is someone who is simply willing to try. It's understandable that the process of therapy can appear to be overwhelming and taxing. As a clinician, I thrive on creating the kind of relationship where clients not only feel comfortable engaging in therapy, but feel safe enough to explore parts of themselves, they would otherwise avoid. The clients I've had the privilege to work with are all ages and from all walks of life, bringing with them all kinds of stories. My clients are the experts on their lives, and I am here to collaborate with them on their healing journey.

Counselor, MS, LCPC

Are you one that is ready to just take the next step towards a strong mind? Clarity in Thought? Moving through trauma vs re-living it without one that can facilitate a space for healing? William Arthur states, "The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain — he/she is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem, he/she is challenged by it. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills. 99% of our clients WANT meaningful change to their life's complexities however its not until one begins to break down barriers, discovering truths about one self.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC
Verified
If you are ready for change in your life and are willing to do the work, then there is hope. I offer a safe, judgment-free environment, where you can feel comfortable to be yourself.
Brie Sutton
Counselor, MS , LCPC
Verified
Feeling like you struggle to be authentic due to various forms of oppression? I want to help each client unconditionally accept themselves with the use of empathy and understanding in the therapy session. I am not the expert on your story, but rather a co-collaborator and support for your healing. If you are looking to unpack historical or racial trauma I am a safe space for that, as I rely heavily on feminist principles and analyzing the ways marginalization may leave us feeling powerless. I am also a queer affirming provider and have worked with numerous trans and non-binary clients.
John Polanco
Counselor, LCPC
Verified
You're feeling overwhelmed meeting the needs of your child during an intense outburst of anger. The feelings of inadequacy and exhaustion are starting to take hold as each parenting skill you try to implement falls flat on its face. You keep asking yourself "what am I doing wrong," "why aren't they listening or following directions," or "how can I help my child be the person they are capable of becoming?" Parenting is a huge undertaking for anybody, but now you don't have to take the journey on your own. Para información en español presione el botón de arriba.

My top three clinical interests include working with individuals practicing consensual non-monogamy and BDSM, creative professionals, and individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, utilizing motivational Interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). How we think influences the foundations of our behavior. Every person who comes onto my screen or into my office has their freedom, individuality, and autonomy accepted because that is what every person deserves.

"My identities make me a target", "How do I support my gender nonconforming kid?" "How do I navigate parenthood as a trans, nonbinary or QTBIPOC person?", "It's hard to find my community".

I strive to help individuals & couples to overcome obstacles stemming from past trauma, confront challenges in the present, & achieve milestones which inspires them to face the future, self-assured. I provide a supportive platform for clients to become aware of subconscious patterns (thoughts, behaviors, reactions), identify as well as take responsibility of that which is in their control, make a personal commitment to course correct, & learn ways to cope with the discomfort of change. This can require you to use both your internal & external resources, purposefully & productively, for the wellbeing and improvement of your life.

Brenda B. Wilson
Counselor, MS, LCPC

“Feeling nervous about crowds?” “Checking behaviors?” “No motivation to do anything.” Life experiences come with a myriad of emotions including negative ones. Sometimes, when we experience these negative emotions, we get stuck. Emotional states such as, anxiety and depression, can usher in moments of uncertainty and discomfort. As your therapist, I am committed to helping you, the client, navigate those uncomfortable moments. Perhaps your goal is to change unwanted behaviors, learn coping skills, or become more aware of your authentic self. My endeavor is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore those goals.

I am not currently accepting new clients for TeleHealth sessions and offer flexible weekday and weekend hours. I’ve had the most success with clients who are making life transitions, and in young adulthood ranging from 18-30 years old. My strengths are in connecting, attaching supporting, providing engagement and processing of feelings, thoughts, and behaviors into objectifiable outcomes in a safe and warm environment suitable for growth and change. We established rapport quickly and deeply, so that we’re able to dive deeper into origins issues and make progress in changing insights about their lives.

Imagine this, you are on a major highway or on public transportation or walking and before you know it, 20 minutes pass and you realize there's no music playing, all the noise in the background has been silenced, you shake your head to return to the present. In the last 20 minutes, your mind has been asking you, Have I worked through my pain? Is the hurt I've experience being passed on to my children or partner? Is my relationship unhealthy? Do I love being a parent? What is making me sad? Why isn't anything I do enough? My parents does not listen to me! Why can't I get this recovery thing right? How am I still grieving?
