As a psychotherapist, I provide a safe, non-judgmental setting for someone to think out loud, process his/her feelings, and brainstorm options and possible solutions. The counseling process offers a trusting, respectful and supportive environment to explore issues, behavioral patterns, set realistic goals, and develop additional coping skills. I provide individual, and couples/marital therapy, and work with adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and other life transitions, relationship issues, step-family issues, difficulties in communication and conflict resolution as well as personal growth and development.

I’m excited to meet you and learn about how your mind works. I typically provide longer-term treatment aimed at more extensive personality change, and my therapeutic approach is fundamentally psychodynamic and emotionally focused. In emotionally focused and psychodynamic therapies, the instrument of healing is the psychotherapy relationship itself, and the insight you gather from our shared experience will reverberate throughout all facets of your life.

Relationships are complex. We frequently identify ourselves through our relationship with others. We are parents, children, couples, coworkers, bosses, employees, friends. These relationships continually impact our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions. Perhaps your relationships involve stress, anxiety, sadness, grief, confusion, and unhealthy dynamics.

Hello, thank you for finding me on Psychology Today. Much of my work is with children, adolescents, families (parenting) and adult individuals. I have experience working with trauma, abuse, grief, loss, long term illness, anxiety, depression, ADHD and other childhood emotional disorders. I view my clients in a holistic sense, taking into consideration their symptoms, life stressors, emotional/physical developmental changes/stages, past/recent trauma(s), family dynamics, parenting styles from childhood -past/present, as well as coping skills and interpersonal relationships and support systems.

As a CMHC intern & mother of two little ones, I understand the challenges of juggling parenthood, relationships, & career. I have a passion for assisting others in their personal healing journey through the blended use of talk therapy, somatic experiencing (mind-body work), & the ACT modality (actionable-therapy.) My therapeutic approach relies, first, on developing a strong therapeutic relationship with the client, assessing your needs, & developing an intuitive treatment plan that helps you achieve your goals. I believe the inner work we do in therapy creates positive ripple effects into all essential areas of our lives.

My passion is in helping Children, Adolescents, Adults, and Families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, and/or unsure of how to work through the challenges they are facing. Each age group requires a different way to connect and build trust. Everyone has pain and deserves a space to be seen, understood, and supported (even the little ones!). I specialize in helping clients of all ages work through trauma, anxiety, depression, identity exploration, attention and behavioral concerns, attachment issues, and mood dysregulation (ie ups and downs).

It is often that when you have difficulties managing your emotions, they have a negative impact on your closest relationships. My goal is to support understanding of where these symptoms originate and how we can work to manage them. I specialize in working with people who have difficulties with their mood, relationships, and having the life they want. I also have expertise in conducting psychological assessment for diagnostic for school accommodations, by assessing for learning disorders and ADHD, as well as for diagnostic clarification and treatment recommendations.

My practice is oriented towards helping people connect with their innate wisdom and emotional intelligence to discover within themselves the means to reach more integrated, satisfying and productive lives. I work with older teenagers, adults (individuals and couples), and seniors who suffer from depression, anxiety, loss or grief, relationship conflicts, emotional adjustment, and from conditions related to mood, personality and thinking.

The basis of my practice is rooted in the promise of hope. I believe that we are all capable of moving toward healthier versions of ourselves that can result in more functional emotional responses, deeper, more satisfying relationships, and redeemed living. My goal is to be a helper that provides a safe place to begin to move toward positive change. I partner well with individuals and couples who are tired of dealing with dysfunction and are motivated to work toward being a better version of themselves.

Life is a journey that is often fraught with painful or trying times. Perhaps you are presently attempting to navigate through one of these periods and have found that despite your best efforts you remain stuck. I find meaning and purpose in my work as a therapist and strive to help my clients enliven their potential and live a life that they value. I aspire to create an environment that will allow my clients to gain greater understanding/clarity, acceptance, courage, hope, balance, and serenity.

Theresa Conway Licensed Professional Counselor (South Carolina, 9122) Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (Maryland 13754) I enjoy people and learning about their experiences. I am honored to be trusted to support your mental health needs. I aim to create a comfortable, safe, and collaborative setting that inspires healing.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or struggling with substance use? Are your mood fluctuations becoming difficult to manage alone? Or does life just feel like too much right now, and you don't know why or what to do about it? In therapy, we will create a collaborative space to explore your behavior patterns, gain insight, and make change. Combining psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies we will tailor treatment to meet your needs. Life is a work in progress and I would be honored to help you write your next chapter.

When someone asks you how you’re doing, do you just say “fine” and change the subject? ​ Do you feel like you need to smile and keep up appearances even with the people you love? If you suffer from depression, anxiety or you feel like you need to work hard to fit in and please the people around you, counseling may help. ​Counseling can bring you from a less than honest “I’m fine” to a wholehearted “I’m doing well.” ​ Our licensed therapists listen and hold space for you to see your own inherent worth and beauty. It’s our job to walk beside you and support you as you find your path.

In all of my years of experience in working with people, I have found that what people most want and need is a safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. It's within that place that people begin to heal. My passion is in helping people find healing at the root cause of their pain. We all have painful experiences. When we can address those areas of pain (which often get reinforced time and time again), we can actually overcome the things that make us feel stuck.
