Therapists in Rockville, MD

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE, Welcome to collaborative and solution based help to experience joy, success and purpose in your life. For over 25 years I have worked with adults, couples, families, adolescents and children in Maryland. My practice is culturally and ethnically diverse. I founded the group practice Classen-Miller & Associates which offers a full range of clinical approaches for all age groups with our licensed clinicians reflecting the full diversity of our community.

To me, there is no such thing as an "ideal" client. Everyone has their unique concerns that they want to address. I have learned as a professional to meet the client where they are in the moment and build from there. Ideally, they will be in a space ready to open up and try to heal. That's the best I could ask for. I would need to build trust so we can collaborate together. They will want support in helping them understand their emotions and behaviors. They will be able to build a therapeutic alliance and learn to cope. They will also be in a space where they can respect professional boundaries.

I am a Licensed Social Worker with a passion for decreasing the stigma surrounding mental health and promoting the health and well being of my clients. For my undergraduate degree, I moved from Central Jersey (Yes! It exists!) to South Jersey to attend Stockton University. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work with a Minor in Behavioral Neuroscience from Stockton, and then moved on to attend graduate school in Philadelphia. I received my Master of Social Work Degree with a clinical concentration from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in May of 2020.

Hello - Hola! My experiences have allowed me to evaluate situations from different perspectives. Hence, my goal in therapy is to provide a safe, trustworthy environment in order to build a healthy and strong therapeutic relationship so that together we can identify precipitating factors, and start the healing process. My clinical training has allowed me to deliver psychotherapy services both in English and Spanish to individuals with diverse backgrounds and needs.

As a therapist, I bring ten years of experience in mental health treatment with people of all ages, specifically focused on depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and crisis intervention. Aside from talk-therapy, I am an art therapist and I'm happy to incorporate aspects of this technique into your session. Art therapy may not be for everyone, so do not be deterred! I believe strongly in the benefits of mindfulness and client-centered practice in my sessions. I also employ solution-focused techniques, which can give direction and gratification towards fulfilling your goals.

In my practice, I rely on my elite training and lived experiences as a Black woman to support those seeking purpose, relief, understanding, encouragement, and validation in their lives. Currently, I work exclusively with adults who have identified a personal area of need in their lives and are ready and willing to engage in a meaningful professional relationship to process and heal from the pain, rejection, uncertainty and trauma of this world.

Is your behavior driven by fear or anxiety? Are past traumas or a profound sadness or anger controlling your life instead of your highest self? If it seems like your life is going down a path that feels out of sync with who you truly are, then I can help you understand how you got here and how to get back on track.

Hello and welcome! Sometimes our lives are stable; however, there are times where we are suddenly confronted with traumatic experiences or losses, such as health problems (dx. of cancer or terminal illnesses), the death of a loved one, separation of the family, loss of work, problems with our children, or academic struggles. These situations can make us feel unsure of our own capacities and emotional strengths which can lead to increased vulnerability, and can cause us to start experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety, or other emotional pain/fears.

I seek to cultivate a collaborative, trusting, and explorative experience to work alongside you on your path to wholeness. My ideal client is ready to address stagnant behavior and unravel complex emotions. I understand that a well-established therapeutic alliance is imperative to successful outcomes. This is crucial in ensuring a safe and supportive environment to be vulnerable, open, and authentic. My training is oriented around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-styles, and Psychodynamic approach. I also integrate concepts from other frameworks to best suit your specific needs.
