Out of Network Therapists in Silver Spring, MD

Welcome, You have taken the First step in seeking a quality, personable, Professional to help offer some possible solutions to your challenges, and problems. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Therapist with extensive experience with teens, adults, couples, and groups. I am also a Licensed Clinical Addiction Therapist, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I am the Founder of DJB Therapeutic Solutions LLC. My Practice is a Clinical, Counseling, Educational, and Motivational Practice for individuals, groups, and organizations. I provide therapy in a warm, safe, confidential environment. My goal is to help you cope through stressful life situations, and "Bring real solutions to real problems".

Your decision to evaluate therapists today is a strong sign change is underway. I work to help individual adults and teens, couples, and families navigate relationship difficulties, behavioral issues, and unresolved emotional needs. My office is a place where clients can speak openly about their hopes, needs, and fears - with warmth, care, and authentic feedback in return. Our work can treat symptoms of grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Emotionally focused repair, cognitive insight, and concrete skills development can each play a role. My training emphasizes clients' experience in family, work, and other systems.

I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in the treatment of disordered eating, body image dissatisfaction, and mood and anxiety disorders. I work best with clients who are open to a Health At Every Size approach and/or who are in a more sustained eating disorder recovery. I strive to create a warm, compassionate, non-judgmental environment where we can work collaboratively on healing unresolved issues, strengthening your sense of self, and helping you live your fullest life now.

The status quo tells us we can’t trust ourselves, our knowing, or our bodies. Rachael believes that our innate knowing - when we can access it, is not only the gold we seek, but the light we shine for ourselves and in the world around us. From experience with eating disorders, self-injury, trauma, chronic pain, couples and larger family systems and the LGBTQIA umbrella to professional work in issue focused non-profits/campaigns (and even performing), Rachael is deeply in tune with the political and social ecosystems that our intersectional identities transverse on a moment to moment basis

I like to work with clients who are insight-oriented, motivated to understand themselves, interested in looking at patterns they get into in relationships, and eager to change and develop their potential. I like it when clients bring up dreams that they would like to understand, and I like clients to think about deeper issues such as meaning in life. I believe that therapy involves a therapeutic relationship, and that the therapist's goal is to collaborate with the client in exploring, gaining insight, and making changes.

I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in helping children, adolescents, and their families. I have extensive experience working with preschoolers, school-aged children, and adolescents with social, emotional, behavioral, and educational challenges. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, social difficulties, learning disorders, divorce, and loss. Kids are sometimes sad when they sit by themselves at lunch. Others may be frustrated when they are not picked for games. Children may not have the social language skills, impulse control, social judgment, and/or abilities to develop and maintain friendships. I help children and adolescents develop these skills in individual and group therapy.

We are a group practice of licensed clinical psychologists and social worker. Collectively, we have experience covering the developmental lifespan from assessing and treating young children with behavioral and learning concerns to working with adolescents and (young and older) adult clients who have issues navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, significant life stressors, and life transitions. Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We work to achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individualized treatment plan.

You’re doing the best you can do; it doesn’t seem to be enough. Sometimes you need extra support and guidance to meet the life’s challenges. During our sessions we collaborate to find the questions and answers to your concerns through a lens of self-compassion and self-acceptance. Taking a non-judgmental approach to psychotherapy, we explore your feelings, emotions, and thoughts. As you take this journey, you may find unhealthy patterns that influence your choices and actions. These can undermine your self-esteem and serenity.

Life can create challenges ranging from minor to major, brief to long term and even the most resilient, sturdy individuals will benefit from an empathic and non-judgemental ear during those times. Do you feel lonely, sad, or that no one understands you? I provide clients therapy that is evidence based, and focuses on your strengths to help you get back to feeling and functioning at your best.

You have a life story. You have had challenges and struggles, and although you are doing your best, sometimes it just gets to be too much. You may be struggling in a way that stops you from functioning, you may want to live a more fulfilling life, or you may just want to get to know more about yourself. You want to find a deeper sense of contentment and fulfillment, and become more mindful of the world around you.

Saba’s goal is to help others feel heard, empowered, and valued. Saba has extensive experience working with children and adults who have experienced anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Making changes in your life can be a difficult and, sometimes frightening, task. You have already taken one of the hardest steps, which is acknowledging that you need help. My clients have included pre-teens, adolescents, young adults and adults. I have worked with people who come into therapy for many different reasons, including the experience of trauma, anxiety, depression, treatment resistant depression, and bipolar disorder. Developmental struggles including adolescent stressors related to academia and achievement, and young adults struggling to achieve independence, are areas of particular interest to me.

Is anxiety getting in the way of the life you want to lead? Do you feel tense, overwhelmed, and stuck in your head much of the time? You don't have to live like this forever! I use evidenced-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - the "gold standard" of anxiety treatment - to help people overcome panic, worry, phobias, and OCD. In therapy with me, you will learn how anxiety hijacks your brain and body and how you can stop it from getting the upper hand. Learn more at rpaTherapy.com.

Change leaves us feeling unsettled and disconnected. You may be fed up with the stress and strain, feeling rattled, or unable to trust yourself. You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. The strain of change takes a toll, even when that change is good, and especially when it is not that good. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel calm. You’re ready to face this moment. Most of all, you’re ready to believe in yourself.

Life can be overwhelming when we are experiencing conflict, negative thoughts and feelings. My goal is to help you feel truly satisfied and reach your potential. I enjoy working with young adults and adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD. For the first few sessions, we will discuss your history and the impact it has on your day to day life. We will then discuss various approaches to help you feel better, and together, we will develop a treatment plan to help you reach realistic goal. I am registered Clinical Supervisor for LGPC and a Nationally Certified Sign Language Interpreter.

I have a passion for walking people through the therapeutic process, for healing old wounds, solving problems and seeing profound changes in my clients' lives. All of my clients are my ideal clients. I love the psychotherapy process, both personally and professionally. In my opinion psychotherapy is both a necessity and a luxury in staying sane. Taking the time to care about yourself and/or your family, children or loved ones, focusing on what is hurting and not working well and trusting me to offer perspectives, insights, connections, ideas, advice, and understanding can turn most challenging situations around.
