Psychoanalytic Therapists in Hyattsville, MD

You’ve accomplished so much. You have a fulfilling career, good friends, a comfortable income and lovely home. By all appearances things are great, and you feel completely in control in most areas of your life. But relationships are a different story.. they either don't stick or never take off, and they all seem to follow the same pattern - the initial hope and excitement of seeing someone new gives way to doubt, and once you get that sinking feeling, it all unravels from there. You see friends and coworkers getting married and starting families and wonder why it’s so easy for them. "What's wrong with me?"

Mental Health has always been a taboo topic in the African community. Why would I want to talk to someone about my problems or what I have experienced growing up?

She has 17 years working with Children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. She has 9 years working with women and children fleeing domestic violence. Kemah has worked in the field of corrections and rehabilitation with clients who have co-occurring disorders.

Are you not feeling like yourself? Are feeling stuck, depressed or anxious? Are you suffering from trauma and can't move forward with your life? Are you having relationship issues with loved one, friends or family?

Accepting new clients- Life is hard. Most of us want to think that it gets easier but that only occurs when our skills (emotional, mental, physical, spiritual) improve. Therapy is the perfect place to learn and practice new skills while getting the encouragement to make it through life's toughest moments. And I am ready for you. I work with all clients and specialize in the Black/Brown communities, LGBTQ population, couples, and adolescents. I value intersectionality, solutions-focused work, and holistic practices.

My ideal client is one that is challenged with depression, relationship issues, domestic violence, parenting problems or just dealing with life as a whole. I have been a therapist for over twenty years and have a pleathea of experience in depression, anxiety, relationship and grief. If you are seeking support for your mental well-being then please give therapy a try. Check out my website at Fajexams.com

My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

If you are looking for a calming, friendly, and nonjudgemental listening ear, then we may be a great fit. My clients learn how their past experiences affect their current mindsets and actions, how to communicate their needs effectively, and how to embrace their emotions as they display self-love. I take into consideration the cultural background and acknowledge that therapy can be like walking into a dark room but we can turn on the light together.

Ideally, I'd treat clients with a trauma history. Someone with a mixture of short and long term trauma. My ideal client is eager to learn and wants to find a way to become their own safe space. Someone who wants to learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, find out their triggers, and treat themselves with patience.

Life is sacred and challenging. Navigating problems on our own can be overwhelming and difficult. Counseling can be an important part of our journey to become the best version of ourselves in our relationships with others and ourselves. A kind and caring presence can help us begin to change and enter into a growth process. I approach clients with compassion, empathy, and kindness to work collaboratively on what you are going through.

I am currently accepting clients for teletherapy. I believe people enter psychotherapy because the ways they have been managing their pain are no longer working, they have become disconnected from their true sense of self, and no longer feel authentic. My goal is to help you to claim a deeper level of self-understanding, genuine intimacy with others, and a sense of purpose and agency in life. Change can be difficult, simply because we fear the unknown. A relationship with a therapist can provide a place of acceptance and safety from which to explore new ways of thinking and behaving.

Focusing on your concerns, we as a team develop a working partnership and build on your strengths to increase your understanding and acceptance of yourself while exploring new possibilities.

I am so proud of you for making a step towards your recovery. It’s a step in the right direction. Life in general is challenging and many life issues come as obstacles in our way. Guess what?

No matter your past or present, your haves or have nots, life can be difficult. I believe that people want and need to be understood – to feel validated and acknowledged in the midst of their troubles. Without these moments of understanding, life can feel mundane, lonely, or deeply confusing. At the most troubling times when stress, depression, or relationships overwhelm, change can seem impossible. Yet change is made possible through a trusting therapeutic relationship and a careful understanding of oneself and others.

If you are suffering with depression, looking to learn how to manage your anxiety, or seeking greater satisfaction in your relationship with others; I can help. Perhaps you are trying to adjust to a major life transition such as the death of a loved one, or a divorce. Or, maybe you are in a dating relationship or marriage that is not as satisfying as it once was. Deepening your understanding of old, unhelpful patterns that are causing you to be depressed, anxious, or just plain dissatisfied with your life, is a good place to start. With new, more helpful ways of understanding yourself, comes the freedom to make different choices.
