Samantha Rodman Whiten
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I enjoy working with dissatisfied couples, Highly Sensitive People, men with difficulty expressing emotions, adult children of dysfunctional parents,
sex
issues, and high achievers.
Do you like to make progress quickly? I have often been told that clients make more progress with me in ONE session than in months of past therapy. We examine your past, as there cannot be genuine lasting change without insight into how patterns developed, but we are focused on creating the life you want NOW. I work best with clients who are motivated, intelligent, and verbal. Teletherapy only. Visit drpsychmom.com or read my books for more insight into my approach. I get you in right away, we don't want to slow down the momentum that brought you here. I'm down to earth and no BS. Reach out today!

Gail Guttman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

We are seeing our individuals and couples in tele-therapy through the COVID-19 crisis. As a "Top Marriage, Family and
Sex
Therapist" in Washingtonian Magazine in 2009 & 2012, my focus is on helping couples address their emotional and sexual ruptures in their relationships. If you feel far apart from or in conflict with your partner, therapy can help you to feel close again. As an couples relationship and certified
sex
therapist, with over 30 years of experience, couples learn to unravel their dance and a structured communications tool, which fosters listening, understanding and empathy. Sexual and emotional intimacy are restored.

Counselor, MA, LCPC, CSAT

I have been working as a trained therapist for over 10 years and specialize in working with
sex
addicts and their partners.
Are you struggling with out-of-control sexual behavior? Do you spend hours watching pornography on your computer? Have you had several unsuccessful attempts to stop your behavior? Are you feeling like your life is spiraling out of control? If so, you may be struggling with sexual or porn addiction. Or perhaps you suspect your partner may be struggling with these issues or he has just exposed to you the truth about his behaviors?
Cecelia van Rooyen
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C, LICSW, LCSW
Verified
I am currently training in
Sex Therapy
through University of Michigan SHCP.
I believe that therapy is most effective when provided in an authentic and nonjudgmental setting between two equals. My best work is done with clients who want to better understand themselves and come with an open mind; I believe the therapy space allows for shared laughs as well as deep reflection and curiosity. Our sessions together will blend here-and-now approaches informed by CBT (changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors) and exploration of deeper parts of you that created these, informed by an Internal Family Systems approach. I also offer Neurofeedback (this is helpful for many issues such as anxiety, depression, focus).

Alisa Hoffman
Psychologist, PhD
Verified
I also am trained as a
sex
therapist.
I am an interactive therapist, interested in helping clients reduce symptoms of distress, usually anxiety or depression and explore with them the roots of their distress. I find whether it is addiction, eating disorders, chronic pain, or straight forward relationship issues, understanding the "why" as well as the "how" to fix it, helps the problem and symptoms subside. Clients that work with me finish therapy with a greater awareness of themselves which helps them avoid difficulties in the future as well as a host of healthy coping strategies to help get through the rough times ahead.

You feel overwhelmed by difficult relationships. I have helped clients navigate these issues in the context of their anxiety and depression. I’ve also developed a passion for LGBTQ counseling and
sex
health. Perhaps you are on a gender or
sexuality
journey or you are curious in pursuing a certain lifestyle with your partner. Regardless of what brings you here, we will work together to draw the roadmap for your personal fulfillment, peace, and growth.

Sex Therapy
Sex therapists in Rockville offer help with sexual concerns by educating, using talk therapy, offering homework exercises and resources for further exploration to either individuals or couples. Sex therapy helps couples talk about sex with each other. A sex therapist feels comfortable talking about sex and is aware of how anxious you might feel talking about this intimate subject with each other and with a near-stranger. They will help set you at ease and guide you into talking about sex. While sex therapists can help with many problems, low sexual desire and frequency disagreements between partners are two of the most frequent concerns they address.
