Preteen Therapists in Taneytown, MD

If you or your child are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, feeling misunderstood, struggling with a loss or having conflict in a relationship, I would be honored to help you on your healing journey! Sessions are individualized; tailored to your goals. I use supportive reflection and can use CBT, provide trauma informed care, studied Gottman and many other therapeutic approaches. I am also an Art Therapy Practitioner and specialize in memorial art (memorial bookmarks, magnets, buttons, painted rocks, picture frames). I hope therapy is a positive empowering chapter in clients' lives.

Thank you for viewing my profile. I am a clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents and adults. Additionally, I offer marital counseling and family counseling. Does life feel like it is getting the better of you? I help people who feel overwhelmed by life's circumstances find success and personal enrichment. I am confident that no matter the reasons your are seeking therapy, we will successfully resolve the difficulties. Before opening my own practice, I worked at the Villa Maria Continuum in Westminster. I then accepted a commission in the military where I helped people in some of the most hostile environments.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I have been providing individual and family therapy services to children, teenagers, adults, and families for over 20 years. I began my current practice in order to provide a more private and comfortable place for my clients and to be able to more fully meet their needs. My goal is to provide a welcoming, compassionate, comfortable and safe place for individuals and families to receive help. Every family and every individual is unique, and I enjoy tailoring my treatment methods to the specific needs of each client and/or family.

Whether it be helping you through big life changes or managing the stress of day to day life, therapy can help! My goal is to empower, support, and help you achieve your personal goals and help you learn to manage things getting in the way.

As a therapist, I use an eclectic approach pulling from various methods to best meet your individual needs. I also work closely with other practitioners as needed. My clients often find me to be relaxed, empathic and nurturing. My style is marked by warmth, empathy, candor and a bit of humor. I work to build a respectful, trusting environment where clients feel confident and safe discussing their issues. As a state-approved clinical supervisor, I provide a safe, respectful environment for LGPC's to pursue their state licensure. I now have telehealth available for therapy as well as supervision.

I have worked with many clients who have experienced trauma as children, & teens and this emotional pain haunts them for years. Sometimes they know the reason for the emotional pain but often the reason is buried and all they have are the overwhelming feelings of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, fear, worthlessness, shame, and more. These feelings have them paralyzed, often unable to hold down a job or be in a relationship. I've worked with many of these clients to help them discover the cause of these feelings, to talk about the emotional pain, to help them heal. I offer Christian Counseling to those who are interested.

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Whether you are just beginning your therapy journey, find yourself searching for help with continued healing or are you getting back in touch with yourself after time away from therapy, I would like to be there for you to help! I work with clients aged preteen-adulthood who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Additionally, I work with individuals in transitional life stages and caregivers who want to work through challenges in parenting/caretaking and also hope to prioritize their own mental health or life challenges.

*Available* Are you feeling stuck or unsettled? Perhaps your teen or tween is going through a difficult time? Maybe your relationship could use some extra support? Please know that you don’t have to do it alone. I would like to help! From stressed and anxious adults to teens and tweens grappling with dysphoria, anxiety, peer conflict, and more I am happy to offer support to those in need of my service. I am also available to help couples with a variety of concerns such as communication errors, healing from broken trust, and strengthening intimacy all from a neutral, nonjudgemental, sex positive and gender affirming perspective.

Whether you are a preteen, teen or a young adult, a lot of changes and challenges may be coming your way that you may not fully understand. You might be in a stage in your life where you feel confused and are trying your best to grow into the person you want to be. Perhaps you need help understanding how to better cope with your stress and anxiety when it comes to certain stressful situations and/or life transitions. Perhaps you need support in exploring your cultural identity or sense of self. It is important that you feel listened to and validated especially when you are navigating through life's challenges.

My name is Samantha Gregg. I am a LCSW in Pennsylvania and an LMSW in Maryland. I offer telehealth services to those residing in PA and in-person or telehealth services to those residing in MD. A client who would be a good fit for my services is likely a child, teen, tween, or adult who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, ASD, neurodivergence, identity issues, difficulty finding providers fluent in ASL, the effects of trauma, and/or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. In outpatient therapy, internal motivation is important; I also hold the understanding that motivation can take time to build.

Did you wake up one day and feel as if you no longer recognize yourself? Are you beginning to struggle at work or with relationships? Do you feel like you know what you "should do," but you can't motivate yourself to do it? Our therapists are action-based and can help support you or your teen/tween to get unstuck, gain insights, build more self-awareness, and work toward a positive future. We aim to help you improve your self esteem, strengthen relationships, and work toward your goals. We teach skills that can be used outside of the office and in the real world and implement strategies to start feeling better.

Welcome everyone. I am excited to meet you. Life can be tough. The everyday demands of school, family and our careers can be overwhelming. There will be times when we just need someone to listen, and there will be times when the adversities of life can leave us in need of developing certain skills to help us cope. We cannot always control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond and look after ourselves. Let's work together, develop a plan for you, and create the life you want!

We seek to provide counseling to clients from a holistic perspective. We want to empower individuals and families to reach their greatest potential. Better Days offers a person-centered perspective which tailors treatment plans to the client and their current experiences. We also provide clinical supervision for graduate level clinicians looking to obtain clinical licensure. Contact us for supervision pricing.

It takes a great deal of strength and courage to try therapy. Turning to someone for help can be challenging and vulnerable so my job is to make this process as comfortable as possible. Are you feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by anxiety? Are you trapped by memories of your past or weighed down by an inner critical voice? My holistic approach to therapy works with you to access your inner strengths and empowers you to live more fully, and enjoy what's right in front of you. I can help you expand the way you think, and see through a new brighter lens. I work with you to remove shame and judgement and embrace life's challenges.

Are you someone who feels constantly stressed? Are you noticing your sleep isn't the best? Maybe you've been feeling down or distancing yourself from others? Perhaps you've experienced quite a few life transitions over the past couple of years and need space to sort it out? I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the District of Columbia & Virginia, as well as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland who is dedicated to enhancing lives through the many facets of mental health. I believe that creating a space that's warm, welcoming and non-judgmental will help you embark on a journey of mental wellness.
