I am a Clinical Psychologist and Organizational Consultant. In private practice for 32 years, I see adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My therapeutic style combines family systems, psycho-dynamic theory, and brain-based/cognitive behavioral therapy to promote change. To be effective, I believe a therapist must build trusting relationships and see each client as a unique person in their own complex environment. I provide training and staff development to child welfare and mental health programs, teach Family Therapy and Clinical Assessment at The University of Maryland School of Social Work, and serve on the editorial board of the Journal of Family Strengths.

Mariam Qahtani
Pre-Licensed Professional
Life can be so hard. Walking it alone, no matter how strong one may be, can be a lonely and difficult experience. Part of what makes us human is our need for one another's unconditional positive regard, understanding, acceptance and presence. Coming to counseling can be challenging due to the misconception that it is for “the weak” or the “ill." While counseling is a place for individuals struggling with severe emotional and psychological disturbances, it is often a place for anyone struggling with making sense of events, managing relationships, understanding motivation, coping with loss, stress or handling day-to-day demands.
