Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Have you fallen off track, not quite feeling yourself? Do you feel burnt out...crispy even? The tools that you’ve turned to in the past to get through it aren’t working, but certainly not for a lack of trying? Sometimes life circumstances, a stressful job, a new environment, or even just a big shift in our lives leaves us feeling stuck. I can work with you so that we can better understand the WHY but also work with you to figure out the HOW we get you back on track. Let's get started.

“The most important step a person can take. It’s not the first one, is it? It’s the next one. Always the next step.” – Brandon Sanderson. There's no question that first step can be a difficult one, and by looking at my profile you're already taking it, but the first step won't get your far unless you take the next one. Whatever your struggles or the path behind you, if you're ready to find the route ahead and put one foot in front of the other, I'm ready to support you along the way.

Hi, I'm Laricka. My passion for studying mental health and coming into the profession came from being in an area where mental health issues were very prevalent. Instead of people being properly diagnosed, and helped, they were dismissed, and it left people with unhealed trauma, feelings, and emotions. I sought out to learn about mental health so I can continue to be the change in the next person’s life. I work with people who deal with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and I am currently becoming certified in addictive behaviors. I believe in people being seen, heard, and helped.

You may find attending therapy to be difficult or scary. I deeply admire the courage it takes to seek therapy and begin the journey of self-exploration and healing. It is not always easy to show up for ourselves, especially when we are facing difficult emotions or life circumstances. However, it is in these moments of vulnerability that the greatest opportunities for growth and healing arise. My hope is that my clients feel supported and encouraged to continue showing up for themselves, even when it may be challenging, and that together we can work towards creating lasting positive change in their lives.

I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when it is strengths-based: identifying and nourishing each individual's inner strengths in order to help them heal and develop new capacities for growth. Using mindfulness and body-aware techniques, as well as gentle mental exploration and traditional psychotherapy, I see my work as guiding individuals to unlock their own innate capacity to heal.

Overwhelm, overdrive, over it. Despite all your effort, pushes, and thoughtful use of “wellness tips” to move forward, you may be feeling stuck. You’re used to checking off all the boxes, but feeling happy and whole remains unchecked. It’s a rigged game- society tells us to keep working, but the finish line always seems to be moving. A life without constant worry, burnout, exhaustion, and triple-checking “just to be sure” is possible. Let’s take back your life from anxiety and stress, and instead make it about what matters to you.

I’m glad you’re here! Finding a therapist is hard, but you’ve taken a very important step by looking. Whether you’re suffering, or just want to understand more about yourself, I encourage you to read further; we might be a good fit. As a social worker psychotherapist, I have been trained to address not just your immediate symptoms, but also the various other factors that may be involved—family structure, spirituality, bodily health, and systemic issues, to name a few. These pieces of you are important and deserve to be acknowledged!

You are brave, curious and brilliant but feel like you are an imposter and never good enough. You have tried people pleasing and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement strategies but can’t shake off the feeling of not being worthy. You long for true belonging, confidence and to live your most authentic expression by releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. You are not alone. I believe that we all have inherent within us expansive wisdom, and capacity to heal. We can't always access our truest Self because of past trauma, societal pressures and habitual patterns that keep us disengaged from our true nature.

What do you need right now? It can be hard to identify our feelings and to sit with our emotions. It can be challenging to move forward when we feel trapped by our past.

You struggle with how you see and feel about yourself. You never feel like you are “enough.” You are swimming in self-doubt and all you see are your imperfections. The inner critic that lives in your head is always on overdrive. Sometimes you just wish it would let up for a bit so you could have a moment of peace. It hurts to treat yourself this way, but you don't know another way to be. What would it be like if you weren't constantly berating yourself? In therapy, we will help you look at how you came to see yourself the way you do so you can contend with that voice of self-doubt differently.

As a former client and now practicing therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to move forward when you feel stuck and struggling against what seems impossible to recover from or manage. I firmly believe that each one of us has the ability to meet and even surpass our own expectations of what is possible for us to overcome, regardless of how dire the circumstances may seem. You are the expert on your own life and my role is to help you become a more confident expert. As a result, I work best with clients who are prepared to be active and committed to therapy in order to be more successful in their everyday lives.
