Grief Therapists in Boonsboro, MD

A licensed psychologist, I provide grief therapy as well as exposure-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to treat anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Ages served: 3-25. Services are provided both in-office and via telehealth.

Have you experienced trauma? Do you worry excessively? Are you depressed? Has a loved one died and the loss is too much to handle? Do you avoid people & places because you're afraid? Are you dealing with issues around your sexuality & gender? Do you sense that something's "just not right" with your world, but you cannot put your finger on it? *If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, maybe it's time to try therapy?

Life can present many challenges, twists, and turns that can be quite difficult and puzzling. Therefore, I provide clients with the opportunity to explore those challenges and discover ways of addressing them. Through a confidential, non-judgmental, and empathic therapeutic relationship, I provide clients with the opportunity to address their difficulties which may be keeping them from realizing a more satisfying sense of well-being.

Do you feel misunderstood or that you can’t let anyone see who you really are? Maybe you can’t understand why your thoughts and feelings are always trying to take you hostage? Locking away who you are has made it difficult to connect with others and left you feeling alone. I love to give people the freedom to embrace and understand their emotions. As your guide, you will begin to drop the fear and exhaustion of trying to keep it all together so perfectly & embrace your own truth. You will begin to accept and love yourself just as you are!

Hey Hi! I'm Jess. I think of myself as a compassionate and dedicated social worker and therapist focused on helping individuals navigate complex – and often challenging – landscapes of emotion. I have 15 years’ experience in the field, working with a vast range of mental health concerns (anxiety, depression/mood disorders, adjusting to life changes, etc). My main area of interest is supporting parents (esp. through pregnancy and infant loss, and the grief that inevitably follows). My primary goal is to provide a safe and nurturing space for my clients to share, heal, grow, and expand their inner wisdom and incredible strengths.

I love working with clients of all backgrounds, dealing with a range of problems. Our experiences of grief, fear, pain, anxiety and depression are universal, and I believe we can all work to make the distress and suffering that we experience manageable, and eventually lead fulfilling, positive lives.

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Ironically, someone living with chronic stress uses the same strategy. Hoping their "I'll get through this somehow" attitude will make the stress go away. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping, growing impatience and anger with others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, secretly feeling bad about oneself, guilty and resentful are all indicators one is out of balance. Let me help you remove this distress before it results in health issues. I have years of successful experience teaching clients powerful interventions to transform stress into personal empowerment.

My ideal client presents depressive symptoms related to trauma & grief. They express that they want to process unresolved childhood issues. They express that the issues have prevented close relationships with their adult children. They want forgiveness and help in creating better ties. The goal may be to explore & resolve issues related to traumatic events and improve overall mood. Interventions may include sharing details of the event and how it has affected their relationships, using positive self-talk, developing positive coping skills, and identifying effective strategies to communicate thoughts and feelings.

Welcome! Making the decision to look for support is not an easy one, but I am glad you have taken the first step. My name is Anne Jenkins (Lawrence). My path has always brought me to a place where I was able to collaborate and assist in the process of healing from trauma.

Things have a way of not working out the way they we thought they would. The stories of our lives begin in the families we are given with all of their foibles and experiences. Pages that become chapters of pain, trauma or loss can engulf the one that feels trapped in the narrative. After a plot twist of epic proportions, I left a 16-year career in the intelligence community and began a new chapter. I’ve had to confront the sources, rewrite the narrative, consult the author and find myself in the pages. The refinement process can be a horrific one but in the truth, freedom is found. Together, we can find healing.

I love what I do! It's more than a job it's a passion. It's about feeling privileged to being a part of your dreams, your fears, and the getting to know all of you, the good the bad, and all those hidden parts that you may not like. I welcome the whole of you, flaws and all. I will be here to cheer for your successes or be compassionately present for those dark moments.
