Teletherapy for Kensington, MD

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative approach between the client and the therapist, where we work together on your therapeutic goals to reach greater awareness and personal growth. I work with pre-teens, adolescents, and emerging adults, dealing with social and academic stressors, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, self-esteem, and trauma. I also work with adults in these areas and in the areas of life changes. I provide psychoeducational support for families with children with developmental differences, acute and chronic illnesses, and co-parenting issues.

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self. I'll do my best to help no matter what you're facing but right now I'm especially enthusiastic about working with young adults and professionals coping with ADHD, men's issues, relationship issues, bipolar disorder, depression, anger management and anxiety.

Welcome! Our practice is dedicated to providing high-quality, compassionate care to individuals, families and couples seeking support for concerns related to anxiety, depression, trauma and other life transitions .

I am a warm, supportive, and enthusiastic therapist ready to help you heal and overcome your challenges. I have extensive experience helping couples with various issues in all stages of life. Issues include concerns about commitment, communication, trust, intimacy, sex, mental/physical illness, parenting, infidelity, infertility, grief/loss, etc. I also love helping individuals who are struggling with any moods, behaviors, or thoughts that are a burden and difficult to manage alone. I am also the owner of Tiffani Stevenson Lloyd & Associates. We are a group of highly skilled mental health therapists ready to help.

People settle, for things in their lives they don’t really like, that they feel powerless to change. I work with both the conscious and unconscious aspects, sometimes indirectly, in ways that engender changes on both of these levels. I enable and empower my clients to open up to new directions and possibilities, to new ways of feeling, doing, and being.

Drawing from extensive experience, I strive to assist my clients in identifying and improving in the areas of their lives where they are struggling. My specialties include anxiety, depression, anger management, communication skills, establishing/building relationships and problem solving. I provide individual therapy to adults ages 18 and over. I offer tele-health video sessions. I accept CareFirst BCBS, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Johns Hopkins Healthcare, UHC, Aetna & Aetna EAP and Magellan insurances.

Let's work together to realize the best version of you and your life. Together let's discovery the tools you'll need to flourish in spite of the obstacles you may be managing. Let's create the space for you to connect with your power. It's been my pleasure to support clients in reaching their individual goals. Finding the right person to trust along your journey can oftentimes seem like the toughest decision. My practice is accepting and non-judgemental. Let's get to work!

Do you see your teen or young adult child grappling with anxiety on a daily basis? Do you wish you could help them manage their painful emotions, but you keep getting shut out? Perhaps there's been a traumatic event, like a difficult divorce, a challenging medical diagnosis, or even the profound shifts that come with life transitions. Alternatively, it may be the relentless pace of today's world that's taking its toll. Would you like to see your kid thriving and managing the challenges of life in a healthy way?

Bring your anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, unmotivated self over here and let's talk for a minute. Some days, just being a semi-functional human seems really hard. Add in some brain fog, irritability, sleep disturbance, loss of social connection, a global pandemic, sociopolitical upheaval, and/or interpersonal conflict and you may not be feeling your best. I'm here to provide the stability, support, and resources to help you become the most vibrant, authentic version of yourself. Whether you want to address a clinical diagnosis, have an existential crisis, smash the patriarchy, or just sleep better at night, I'm here for you.

I provide art therapy, psychotherapy, and trauma therapy. Services are personalized in a compassionate supportive environment that encourages curiosity. Art-making is always optional, I also integrate sensory-based approaches and talk therapy informed by the wisdom of the body. These engage the parts of the brain that develop pre-verbally. Sessions include choices and collaboration for you to co-create the best fit for your needs. We all get stuck sometimes. When clients are stuck, I offer a couple of paths or ways to begin. Sessions occur at my art studio located at the new Compass Art Center in downtown Kensginton.

My ideal client is looking to collaborate on issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or life transitions. Therapy is a partnership. You are the expert on you, and I bring expertise on creating connection, noticing and changing behavior patterns, and creating safe space to process and explore. Together, we will create goals and address stuck points so you can move confidently into your future.

Are negative thoughts, anxiety or depression stealing your peace of mind? Are you constantly overthinking or thinking the worst? Do you tend to really be hard on yourself? Has stress and worrying taken over your life? Are your relationships causing you pain and strife? If you answered yes to any of these questions, please know that you no longer have to suffer through this alone. I would like to help you work through these challenges. Having a therapist to talk to who is non-judgmental and caring can be exactly what you need to decrease your frustrations, lift your spirits and help you find the peace of mind that you crave.

I have been honored to work with families, young children, and adults for nearly ten years. In my practice I lean on the tenets of trauma-informed practices, the neuroscience of connection, and attachment research. As a result of our work together, I have witnessed clients’ immense personal growth, improvements in social and family relationships, decreases in work issues, and a healthy integration of tools learned in therapy. I believe that through our work together, we can unearth the keys to you having more ease in your day-to-day and shift away from unhelpful patterns of thoughts and actions.

I always seek to bring a passionate engagement to my work with individuals, couples and families. I specialize in helping people with relationship issues and am devoted to helping people develop deeply satisfying and fulfilling intimate and family relationships. I am especially committed to helping couples preserve their primary intimate relationship in the face of challenging life circumstances and relationship issues. I have helped couples in crisis come back from the brink of divorce, I have helped couples recover from the trauma of infidelity, and I have helped couples navigate the process of grief over a lost family member.

As a cognitive-behavioral and integrative therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. I am a woman of faith, grounded in Christian principles. I work with adults (individuals and groups) of many faith traditions and am respectful to all.

People, relationships, work and life can be hard to handle and sometimes it is difficult to put words on what it is to be you. At times you may know where your difficulties and problems lie but other times you just feel that something is wrong. Maybe you want to grow your self-knowledge, awareness and ability to be totally honest with yourself. Or you may want to calm your racing mind and the painful memories that keep you up all night. I am here to support you with navigating through challenges, changes and improvements.

When we work together, clients are offered a safe and healing environment to facilitate change and problem solving. You will learn a number of excellent skills to help you better communicate with yourself and others, finding your own voice and evolving into the best version of yourself through the process of change. Through our work together, we will find your path in life, giving you the tools to traverse it with ease.

Living a life of peace, free from chaos and dis-ease is what most people strive for. But often we are confronted with anxiety, depression, mood shifts, trauma, stress, anger, grief, isolation, etc. My goal is to help you to restore health and well-being. There are some circumstances of the past that cannot be changed but improving your understanding of past events will help as we work together to create a better present (the here and now), that will lead to a better future.
