Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes, the downs can become so overwhelming when we are tackling life’s obstacles on our own, or with limited resources and support. I want you to know that you are not alone! We have all had struggles; I can certainly relate to that! Know that there is hope and the possibility for change exists if we really want it. I am Donalee Watson-Dwyer, LCPC, and I am currently a therapist with ROH Mental Health and Wellness Services, LLC, where our focus is on providing a ray of hope in seemingly hopeless situations.

Life can be challenging and down right unpredictable; there are situations or feelings that can be difficult to manage independently. At times, it can be beneficial to get assistance with maintaining your path to growth and success. My goal is to assist average people with making a positive transition through developing a therapeutic non-judgmental relationship.

Many of the clients I work with struggle with depression and anxiety, often (but not always) related to a history of trauma. I have found that many clients with a traumatic history have never identified it as such and, therefore, have never considered the long-term effects on their lives (their bodies, their emotions, their relationships). They've often tried (or have been told) to "get over it" or that something was wrong with them. In my experience, it's not about something being "wrong" with you. It's about what has happened to you.

Listening to clients during early career work as an attorney and then for over 20 years as a psychotherapist shaped my nonjudgmental, analytic approach to understanding and working on issues and concerns. Telehealth sessions with me offer you a safe, private, confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings around medical, emotional and situational challenges in home, work, school, or social settings. Focusing on you, we develop a working partnership and create a plan to develop and work on your goals, improve your relationships with others, and increase your ability to manage stress and negative emotions more effectively.

Through a collaborative framework, I work with individuals, couples, families and address issues including: mood problems, anxiety, self-esteem issues, transition for immigrants, relationship conflicts, women’s health, grief/loss, and life transitional difficulties( separation, divorce, college, relocation) I'm dually licensed in MD and DC.
There is nothing like being listened to and understood on a deep level, with genuine interest, unconditional positive regard, congruence, empathy and acceptance. This is what I strive to offer in therapy, as we explore together your hopes and dreams, your losses and regrets, your longings and fears. Many people come to therapy to free themselves from self-defeating patterns, maladaptive behaviors and the legacy of past traumas, so they can be more truly themselves in relation to others and live with greater satisfaction and meaning.

Do you often find yourself compromising in relationships out of fear that your true self won’t be accepted? Are you uncertain about which aspects of yourself are “safe” to reveal? Perhaps cultural influences have led you to present a version of yourself that feels inauthentic. It can take time to unravel the cultural expectations, unwritten rules, and past traumas that make your true self feel distant. Let me support you on your journey to discovering your genuine self.

With over 10 years of experience in the field and in various settings including schools, community-based, child welfare, the justice system, and in hospitals both emergency and psychiatric care, has allowed me to build a specific skill set and expertise in managing issues surrounding grief and loss, anxiety, depression, work-related stress, equity, mood disorders, interpersonal issues, victim awareness, anger management, abuse, trauma, and ADHD. Sometimes we don’t realize how a little positivity can go a long way, until it is, that you're in need of support.
