Self-Harming Therapists in 21044

Welcome! I am a licensed professional counselor (LCPC), certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I believe that the therapist-client relationship is the foundation of successful treatment. I view therapy as partnership between myself and the client, creating a trusting and supportive relationship. I see therapy through a dielectric lens of accepting yourself without judgement and changing unhealthy and maladaptive behaviors.

I am direct and straightforward, while also being respectful and encouraging in guiding clients in identifying and utilizing their strengths to move forward toward their targets. My background includes 15+ years providing community mental health services for adults with severe mental illness and substance abuse. I also worked in Howard County Public Schools for many years providing crisis intervention to students. Following my undergraduate studies in Psychology and Music at St. Mary's College of Maryland, I earned a Masters in Social Work with a specialty in Clinical Mental Health from the University of Maryland.

My therapeutic approach is to provide therapy and support to help clients effectively address personal challenges. There is no single approach that is right for every individual and I'm highly committed to offer a personalized approach tailored to each client. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy to help ignite a change that you can see and feel.

As a therapist, I am committed in addressing issues interfering with life satisfaction and to help you achieve healthier, more rewarding relationships and greater awareness. I believe you possess what it takes and my aim is to assist you in achieving your goals. I work with children and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, mood disorders, and self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse and suicidal & non-suicidal self-injury. I also work with couples for premarital, relationship & life transitions issues and divorce counseling.

You have probably tried therapy before, but you're still hurting. You still feel stuck. I work differently than traditional therapists - using Evidence Based Psychotherapies - treatments proven to work by research. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are based in brain science. We can retrain your brain. We can work to build new coping skills and a different approach to emotional pain. Research shows these therapies work to help people like you feel more calm and connected to their lives. You can feel better. You can live better!

I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders in children, adolescents and adults as well as behavior problems in children and adolescents. I also treat those who have experienced trauma. I utilize cognitive behavioral, behavior modification, relaxation, and solution focused therapies to help clients achieve a better life. My treatment approach is to listen carefully, develop treatment goals that are important and achieveable for the client, build on the client's current skills and help to develop new life skills as well as helping the client to achieve life balance.

In our lives, we often experience challenges. Life can be filled with peaks and valleys. These experiences may affect us emotionally, behaviorally, or environmentally. In these times, we may not always know how or have the tools to manage how we react. As a licensed therapist, I am here to provide the safe and brave space to uncover how we can tackle these difficulties together. My goal is to help my clients gain insight so that they can better identify, utilize, and build upon the internal resources that they already possess. Together, we build skills in order to promote overall wellness through various of therapeutic approaches.

Making the decision to seek therapy can be overwhelming. We understand that, and we are here to help guide you through the process and clear a path to emotional well-being. By working together, we can develop a strategy that promotes a healthier life for you and the ones closest to you. Our compassionate approach provides a safe and caring environment for you to seek the support that you deserve.

I am therapeutic, but to the point. I work with my clients to understand their strengths, as well as to learn to modify their behaviors and thought processes to obtain more effective and desired outcomes. I am nationally certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and am extensively trained in RO-DBT. I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults with personality disorders, anxiety, mood, trauma, and psychotic disorders.

Accepting New Clients.Hello, I'm Ogin, a dedicated therapist passionate about guiding individuals through life's challenges towards a brighter, more fulfilling future. With a focus on depression, anxiety, PTSD, family dynamics, grief, and anger issues, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based interventions to empower my clients on their journey to healing and growth.My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect for the unique experiences of each individual I work with. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they navigate through difficult emotions.

My starting point is simple: you matter. Your story matters, your experience matters, your desire to heal, grow, and thrive matters. In all of our lives, however, there are times where we need help making sense of our stories. Whether it is trauma, anxiety, or general life transitions, I can support you in gaining a deeper sense of wholeness. I work with children ages 5+, teens, and adults. I take an eclectic approach to meeting you where you are at and I am EMDR trained in order to help you process past traumatic events that are causing you distress. You are not alone. Together we can help you take back control over your story.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.

Psychotherapy is a unique opportunity for clients to explore personal growth work, clarify goals, improve self esteem, reduce stress and better understand themselves and their relationships with others. For 25 years, I've provided counseling for children, adolescents and adults dealing with a range of personal, emotional and mental health issues. In a quiet, relaxed setting, I work with clients to develop effective communication, decision making and problem solving skills to deal with challenges they face. I incorporate extensive training in cognitive, behavioral, dialectical and family therapy as well as relaxing breathing, storytelling and metaphors to help clients achieve more balanced, fulfilling lives.

As a nationally recognized expert in Teen Mental Health and Teen/Family related issues, I have spent my career working, training, speaking, and providing consultation and therapy in a variety of settings.

Whether in session or at speaking engagements, I focus on solutions & growth. I'll help you, your child, or students overcome seemingly overnight changes in self-esteem, mood, behavior, or school. My therapeutic style is coach-like: this works best for people who are motivated to change. I love to see kids & teens learn new, positive behaviors that will set them up for future success. I get excited when I see women improve their self-esteem & ditch that job or boyfriend that doesn't respect them. I'm the right therapist for you if you want to overcome anxiety or depressive symptoms or if you're just tired of feeling stuck/helpless.

I believe in an eclectic and individualized approach to helping folks achieve their unique goals and objectives, and to cultivate an optimal quality of life.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I've helped my peers and allies explore identities, navigate relationships, etc.
