Women's Issues Therapists in Kensington, MD

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.

Often we wait until we have exhausted every measure before we seek professional help. You can start on your journey to healing, reconciliation, peace, and joy today. I believe that in times of adversity and struggle, we have the greatest potential for growth. It is often hard to see clearly how the difficulties we face will lead to positive changes, so instead we lose our way and get stuck in places of frustration, despair, and resentment. The change process is a journey-sometimes long and at times short. It is a process that gives us the opportunity to discover new ways of approaching our circumstances.

For more than 20 years, I have helped adults, adolescents, and their families to improve their lives through counseling. From my perspective, counseling is a process in which client and therapist work cooperatively on mutually agreed goals, towards client's betterment and emotional health. A traves de terapia he ayudado a muchos adultos, jovenes y familias a mejorar la calidad de sus vidas. Terapia es un proceso en el que terapista y cliente trabajan juntos en metas que brinden salud emocional y mejoria al cliente. Ademas, hago evaluaciones para el servicio de inmigracion.

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 & Cigna EAP, Johns Hopkins Healthcare, UHC, Aetna & Aetna EAP and Magellan insurances.

I offer couple's and individual counseling. For those who are curious, I am African American. As a couple, are you seeking help to resolve the continuing conflict in your relationship? As an individual, do you want to explore feeling angry, anxious, depressed, sad or overwhelmed? Are you challenged with understanding how to change the negative feelings, behaviors and events in your life? Explore new ways to better manage your life. I believe you can do this. I provide a warm and safe environment. No judgment here; only encouragement and hope. View my website for further information.

At 3Elements Counseling,LLC we work with individual, and families. We understand the challenges of multicultural families. Families that due to work or personal circumstances had to move and leave people and things behind. Families and individuals that beside dealing with their own individual patterns of anxiety, depression, dysfunctional family of origin, trauma, and child rearing challenges have to adjust to a new culture, a new country and a new rhythm of life.

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.

Has your teen been recently diagnosed with a health issue, and you are unsure how to help? Do you see your teen or young adult child struggling with anxiety on a daily basis? Do you wish you could help them manage their painful emotions, but you keep getting shut out? Have you been putting off getting support? During these growing years, teens and young adults find ways of dealing with painful emotions. Sometimes there has been a life event or trigger. Sometimes it is the pain of growing up in a fast-paced world. Therapy can be a safe place for you or your adolescent to explore patterns and healthy ways of coping.

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.

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.

There are times in our lives when we just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. We often feel overwhelmed in our relationships, not knowing what to do to make them better. As your therapist, I can be there to provide compassion, insight, and suggestions that can help you move in the direction you want to go. I believe that therapy can help individuals, couples, and families develop the skills needed to help you achieve your goals.

I have been joyfully practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years in the greater Washington, D.C. area. I have a general practice and specialize in depression, bipolar disorder and addictions/recovery/co-dependency issues. I work with chronic illness and specialize in diabetes. My preferred modality is individual and couple's therapy. I enjoy my clients immensely and feel a great deal of satisfaction in helping people better their lives, alleviate depression and resolve painful relationship issues.

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 supported client's in reaching their individual goals for almost 20 years. Finding the right person to trust along your journey can oftentimes seem like the toughest decision. My practice is accepting and non-judgemental. I'll encourage you to move at your pace, towards your specific goals.
