Therapists in Frederick, MD

Welcome to your local safe space! My goal is to provide a welcoming and open environment for you to be yourself. As a Licensed Master Social Worker, I aim to create an area of non-judgment and an inclusive space for healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, located in Frederick, Maryland. I offer teletherapy services across the state of Maryland. I specialize in treating adults with anxiety, depression, grief, stress and relationship issues.

Do you feel ready for more growth? Maybe you’re dealing with painful unresolved feelings, or navigating a significant life transition. Perhaps you've been in therapy before, but now want to go deeper. If you're like many of my clients, you function well on the outside but still feel unhappy or unfulfilled inside. Even if you can’t put your finger on it, you sense it’s time to make some changes. You have multifaceted emotions you want to work through, and you want a trusted, experienced professional who can help you move through the impasse you’re experiencing so you can fulfill your life potential.

We often feel that we are simply surviving, as opposed to living our full lives to our greatest potential. Clients come to me when a major shift or catastrophe has taken place in their lives. Whether this is the loss of a loved one, or any loss in general, I will provide a safe harbor where we can go to the depths of the soul and fully contemplate the meaning. The goal is to ultimately arrive at a place of acceptance. In learning how to live through these changes and then build anew is my specialty. I help guide you in an existential framework, in which we seek to find your soul's purpose.

The focus of my work is with individuals, couples, business owners and artists who want to unlock barriers and create pathways to well-being. As a couple, you may come to grow your relationship, whether beginning in crisis or not. You may be looking for answers to spiritual questions--an area of personal and professional interest for me. I am comfortable working with people of all religious or spiritual persuations. Therapy style, pacing and emphasis is designed to fit your individual needs.

All people deserve to be valued, no matter their age, ability, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. They should also have the freedom to choose how they experience life. There is no one perfect way to live. People come to therapy with various life experiences and levels of understanding, that is why there is not a one size fits all approach. Your journey is your own. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a safe, affirming, and empowering space. This means that I will treat you with unconditional positive regard, congruence and empathy. I believe that every person deserves these things on a human level.

I have more than 20 years working in a variety of outpatient and inpatient mental health settings including private practice, psychiatric day programs, nursing home and inpatient hospital. I work with adults with a wide variety of needs ranging from such topics as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/family stressors and caregiver challenges. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs as I utilize a variety of therapy styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic therapies, Culturally Sensitive, Family/Marital, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based.

My passion for helping others to realize their dreams and overcome the obstacles caused by trauma, anxiety, grief, poor self-image, addictions and a myriad of other difficulties has led me to learn how closely associated emotional anguish can be with physical pain. In a warm and loving environment, I guide my clients one step at a time toward reaching their goals. I also utilize a variety of other approaches when indicated including CBT, DBT, and Narrative Therapy. I am uniquely trained in Somatic Experiencing and in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

We live life in relationship with others, often focusing on their needs. Sometimes, we lose sight of ourselves, resulting in feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and self-critical. I invite you to take a "time-out" from the chaos of life and focus on YOU. Let's address the challenges you may be facing at home, work, or school, and within your romantic, friend, and family relationships. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and families addressing a range of mental health issues.

Are you overwhelmed with school, work, and life decisions? Does it feel like you don’t have the focus or confidence to follow through with your goals? Are you struggling to build relationships and feel anxious or withdrawn in social situations? Parents, do you feel like you’re spinning your wheels to motivate and prepare your child for adulthood and its falling on deaf ears? Are you unsure how to approach conversations you know are crucial during adolescence? Do you long for a relationship where you can be a guide instead of a nag?

I work with adults and provide care for patients who struggle with grief, loss, relationship issues, and major life transitions. I have extensive experience with Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, but utilize an eclectic approach to therapy based on your past experiences and needs. If you’re stressed out, burned out, grieving, struggling with relationships, or need to process a rough patch in your life I’m here to help. If therapy is a puzzle I support you while you put the pieces together and help you see the bigger picture. I hope to encourage and support you, while helping you strengthen your mind-body connection.

As a therapist for over 13 years, I have worked with individuals, families and couples in creating a safe place to talk about life challenges. During our time together we work to identify what is causing your symptoms and stress, and we create healthy solutions to improve your quality of life.

Hello and welcome! I’m so proud of you for being here, and making the decision to take care of you. Often those of us who care for others, need help learning how to care for ourselves. I'm here to be a safe place for you to vent, process ideas, get a different perspective, and learn some useful tools along the way. I have worked in outpatient settings, inpatient behavioral health, crisis work within the emergency department, child welfare and providing counseling with a local employee assistance program.

As a Christian counselor my mission is to help my clients find peace; emotionally, relationally, and most importantly spiritually. My hope is that my clients gain a sense of connection to themselves, their loved ones, and the Lord. In my professional journey I have had the opportunity to do group and individual therapy with a focus on anxiety, depression, self-image, life transition, relational division, grief, and identity.

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 enjoy helping women from all walks of life build up their self worth so that they can love themselves, overcome any major life transition, and learn how to manage their emotions and stress. Famous words I live by are “ Stay true to you because there is only one YOU!”

Welcome to the neighborhood! This neighborhood provides a safe and comforting environment to be yourself.

The neighborhood serves regular, everyday people striving to be their best self, from working adults to caregivers of elderly parents. Entrepreneurs growing their business and patients transitioning to unemployment due to unforeseen circumstances. The neighborhood serves as an all inclusive space for healing.

As a trauma-informed therapist, my mission is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you until you get to where you want to be. I enjoy utilizing a holistic approach to healing and respect both eastern and western philosophies towards balancing the mind, body, and spirit. I love working with clients who feel like no one "gets them" and who are willing to do the work to make change. I believe the key to building trust is to listen with an open mind and an open heart without judgment. It takes courage to reach out for support. I hope to help you feel empowered and supported to accomplish your goals for therapy. ​

Are you a human who struggles with life? Do you find yourself "going through the motions"? Do you feel like you're constantly in survival mode, going from one crisis to the next? Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed or increasingly alone? Does your mind race at night, does it replay all of your mistakes? We all struggle with these kinds of thoughts/feelings because of how our mind works. Imagine if you didn't have to struggle and you were engaged in your life in more meaningful ways. You can become more active and engaged in your life and be who you truly want to be. You can LIVE more and struggle less.
