Therapists in Montgomery Village, MD

Now providing reduced rate sessions with our clinical intern. I am the owner and director of Rooted Therapeutic Center. I am passionate about assisting on your therapeutic journey to change, heal and grow. This journey is unique to you and your various life experiences. I have experience working with children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in grief and loss, life transitions, anger management, anxiety, trauma, depression, and parent-child relationships.

There are times in life when we struggle with feelings of depression, anxiety, and alienation. There are times when we think no one understands how we feel or the challenges we face. As a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC), my role is to create a safe space for people to share their fears, struggles and relationship issues without shame or judgment. I listen with interest and empathy and help you to identify and change negative feelings and thought patterns. Together, we create solutions to the unique life challenges you face.

Thank you for taking the time to take a deep breath and acknowledging that you would like to seek help for what is causing difficulty in your life at this moment. You have just taken a most courageous step. I would like to assist you in taking this all important first step by working with you to develop coping skills and strategies.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my listing. If you've come this far, you're on the brink of an important decision--and what a difference the right choice can make. As a therapist, I've made a difference in people's lives for nearly 20 years -- helping adults, teenagers, couples and families to overcome problems and gain emotional freedom. Everyone wants quick relief, and my clients tell me that one of the things they appreciate most is my ability to connect immediately, to get things rolling and create feelings of trust and hopefulness from the first session.

My therapeutic approach is supportive, collaborative, and integrative. I work to tailor treatment approaches to the needs of my clients and to collaborate on identifying goals. My goal is to help clients gain insight, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills. I incorporate techniques used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and mindfulness. My clients have expressed an appreciation for my warm and accepting style. As Carl Rogers once said: "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.".

I have a lot of experience with both adults and children who have mental health, behavioral problems, and substance abuse issues. I use an ecclectic approach and tailor the therapy style to the individual patient.

You don't have to continue feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship or self issues. Effective psychotherapy helps most people deal with these problems and in many cases provides a life altering experience. I have an extensive background treating a wide variety of problems in a safe and congenial atmosphere.

My goal for every individual, couple, or family I work with is not just to solve problems but to achieve actual long-term happiness. I do a developmental, growth-oriented style of therapy, best suited to intelligent adults, couples, or families interested in permanent solutions to emotional difficulties such as depression, inter-personal conflict, loneliness, lack of meaning, insecurity, panic, or anger. Therapy as I practice it will change how you understand yourself and other people, how you react to life events, and most important of all, how you feel on a day-to-day basis.

Hello - How can I help you? Growing up can be difficult in all stages of life.
