Therapists in Towson, MD

I am passionate about working with young adults and teenage girls with anxiety and depressive disorders, as well as women entering the world of motherhood who may be struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I find helping them further understand their experiences, thoughts and beliefs and how they may be impacting their troublesome symptoms can be incredibly beneficial. I also have a passion in helping teens that engage in self-harming behaviors, teaching healthy coping skills to replace less healthy ones while also working on replacing negative thoughts with positive ones.

Do you ever feel anxious, stressed and overwhelmed? Or have days where you feel sad, depressed and isolated from the world? Do you struggle with friendships or relationships in your life where you feel unheard or misunderstood? Navigating through an ever changing world that's filled with constant stressors can be very difficult for most. It helps to have a safe space where you can process your feelings and emotions openly with no judgement or push back. I pride myself in being a safe person for teens and adults to speak freely about their fears, challenges and worries. Support and guidance are my goals for our work together.

This practice is only accepting new clients for MBCT groups. Life can be difficult. We frequently face challenges that push us to our limits, making it difficult to cope and see options. During hard times it is helpful to have increased support and guidance. I am a Licensed Psychologist and have been in practice since 2005. In my work, I strive to be empathic, encouraging and challenging, assisting clients in making significant life changes. I pride myself in being a strong listener who will work to understand you and respond without judgment.

Taking the first step by deciding to pursue therapy can be difficult. Living with untreated anxiety or depression can be even worse. Most of our lives we are taught to protect ourselves by keeping vulnerabilities hidden and keeping people at a safe distance. Therapy encourages just the opposite: to reveal your innermost thoughts and feelings to a stranger- your therapist. This process can be unsettling. However, by articulating these emotions, putting words to the oftentimes debilitating feelings, life becomes more manageable and healing begins.

I love helping my clients develop the tools they need to cope with all of life’s challenges. I have worked with clients from ages 12-70 years old. I have been a social worker for 19 years and worked with diverse populations. I believe therapy is an individualized process and it starts with developing a therapeutic relationship with each client. I believe it is important to take a holistic approach and learn each client and what treatment modalities work for them. My approach to therapy is a collaborative effort and I foster an environment that promotes positive thinking, behavior and healing.

My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I infuse humor and compassion into my work while helping my clients examine and change patterns that are no longer working for them. I enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I like to acknowledge that my clients and I hold identities (racial, cultural, gender, spiritual, etc.) that shape our lived experiences. We can make space to talk about these things if that feels right to you.

My approach is solution-focused because I believe there is a solution to every problem and we will work together to figure it out. I work with clients of all ages to address issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, communication, relationships, decision making and impulse control.

Carrie’s goal is to help you understand yourself and your relationships in a way that creates the positive change that matters to you.

I provide a safe place for you to discuss your issues. I work with clients on life transitions, relationship issues, anger management, grief and loss, parenting, and childhood trauma. My treatment approach is a combination of cognitive-behavior, solution-focused, and family systems. My goal is to bring hope to your situation and help you construct positive changes in your life's journey.

She has most commonly worked with anxiety, lgbtqa+ issues, social anxiety, self-esteem, HSIB, health and wellness, and family/relationship issues in an individual therapy setting. Ashley finds the great outdoors, health, wellness, and creative ideas therapeutically helpful.

I work with individuals who struggle with co-occurring disorders, depression, and anxiety among other difficulties. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I can help individuals gain the insight and skills they need to overcome challenges and lead a more fulfilling life.

Do you want to be the best version of you? I believe everyone has the power to make that happen no matter what your situation is. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience. I ran an outpatient mental health clinic in Baltimore City for 5 years before joining my new office in Towson. I enjoy helping others and want to see you enjoying your life. I am comfortable treating all ages and diagnosis. I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families. I accept most insurances and Medicaid. Please call the office to see if your insurance is on the list.

Are your emotions and moods causing you problems? Perhaps your feelings seem too strong and overwhelming. Or perhaps you lack emotions and you feel empty inside. Maybe you do not know what you are feeling or your emotions confuse you. When you get anxious, bored or stressed do you turn to foods, alcohol, drugs or harmful activities to feel better? Do you lack a sense of meaning or excitement for life? Are you tired of feeling and reacting to the world in the same old ways that just don't seem to be working anymore?

I am a dedicated clinician with over 20 years experience helping others find more freedom from anxiety, depression, betrayal trauma and PTSD. I love helping others experiencing growth in all aspects of life.

After working over 24 years in the field of social work, I recognize my energy and desire lies in clinical practice. My particular interests in the last 15 years have also addressed other areas beyond general mental health. This includes clients who struggle with food and eating issues, body image disturbance, and negative self image. In addition, the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought a new appreciation to the importance of therapy, and the recognized need for others to say that they need help.

I am a psychotherapist working in Baltimore County, MD. My specialties are maternal mental health, relationship issues, depression and anxiety disorders. I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Masters of Social Work in 1999. I am a member of Postpartum Support International and the National Association of Social Workers.

As a therapist I specialize in treating Anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD, I understand that navigating these conditions can be incredibly challenging. That's why I'm dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy to help you find relief and regain control of your life. With over a decade of experience, I've worked with individuals from all walks of life, using evidence-based techniques to address a range of issues. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, racing thoughts, or traumatic memories, I can provide the support and guidance you need to move forward.

You never learned how to set healthy boundaries, which has led to people-pleasing behavior, low self-esteem and difficulty having your needs met in relationships. Maybe you've coped with painful feelings with food, drugs or bad relationships. You deserve to be valued for who you are and not what you do for others. The opportunity to show up in your life as your true self can feel both exciting and terrifying. I offer a warm, safe environment to process painful feelings that may arise during this process. Together we can learn new ways to cope that will help you build a life that feels true to you.

Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.
