Sexual Abuse Therapists in 22203

Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to pursue a career path that would make a difference in people’s lives. This interest led me to study psychological science, social work, and social justice. I care deeply about human rights, cultural humility, and integrating anti-oppressive practices. As a LCSW, I am committed to the well-being of all my clients to cater to their holistic needs. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults regarding various issues, including: anxiety, depression, stress, complex trauma, oppression, relationships and intimacy, sexual assault and domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ dynamics.

As a therapist, I believe our lives are made up of relationships - relationship with others, with the world around us, and with ourselves. When we feel "out of whack," this is one sign that at least one of these relationships needs our attention. Therapy is an excellent avenue to examine and explore these connections. My practice is rooted in client-centered approaches. While I use cognitive behavioral, motivational, and mindfulness-based techniques - each session is tailored to meet you right where you are that day. My hope is that you feel safe and affirmed during all interactions.

Hi, thanks for clicking! And congrats on starting/returning to therapy. A little about me, I've worked in mental health since 2012, starting in hospitals and non-profits before private practice. I help people with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life changes, and interpersonal/family issues. I have a mixed cultural background. I don't incorporate spirituality in therapy. I often help with religious trauma/conflicts. I'm a dog person, but work with cat people and others :) I work with clients from all races, ethnicities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, etc. I also work with active/retired military.

Welcome! My name is Liz. I strive to create a warm, and trusting environment that fosters growth, self-awareness, and lasting change. My therapy style is collaborative and nonjudgemental. Together we will work to improve your symptoms, gain a deeper understanding of your concerns, and start on a new path to healthy mental health gains, reaching your goals, and actively working towards your full potential.

I am a licensed professional counselor and have worked for the past 25 years in residential and private practice. I provide individual and group counseling for adolescents and adults struggling with trauma and mood disorders, which includes depression and anxiety and any behavioral related problems. My approach to therapy is typically goal-directed, which means your counseling sessions will be designed to help you overcome your current challenges and reach satisfaction.

Sometimes there are thoughts, memories and moods that are causing us distress. Often, when we try to express these to others, we are left feeling more confused about what we are feeling or misunderstood afterward. Sometimes words fail us and we cannot find the right way to express ourselves and then we find ourselves repeating the same cycles. I have found in my work that when words fail, art can help us bridge that language dead-end. I am a registered Art Therapist; I believe that art is innately human and can provide a safe space to initiate growth and change in individuals.

At Mind Body Health, we have psychologists who specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, eating disorders, insomnia, weight management and depression. We also have dietitians who work with you to help you achieve optimal health. We have a strong understanding of how your physical health and diet affect your mental health and vice versa. We use approaches based in research and tailor our interventions to each individual.

Are you a busy professional, college student, young adult, and/or parent trying to do it all? Do you feel that past or current events are causing distress in your professional, personal, and/or relational life? You know you are capable, but you feel stuck. You feel ready to work through the struggle and work towards healing to have a more hopeful and healthy future. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, feeling irritable, trouble sleeping, anger outbursts, low energy, hypervigilance, or anything else - I will come along side you on your healing journey.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe environment where persons can address their emotional and mental health issues and to have the counselor walk with them through their present brokenness towards hope, wholeness, and redemption. And to integrate Christian faith with counseling practices in an effort to address the needs of the whole person: body, mind, spirit, emotions, and relationships.

Due to the stress of the everyday world, emotions can become intense, overwhelming, and at times debilitating. Therapy provides individuals with the support necessary to become your best self. I utilize a genuine, empathic and open-minded approach to treatment. I strive to help clients achieve improved connections, increased insight and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. I provide couples with the skills needed to improve communication, build trust and enhance intimacy.

Sometimes we feel down and we just don't know the reason why. Or we do know why but we don't know how to fix it. Sometimes we are no longer getting along with the person we love. And sometimes we could just use some extra support. As a clinical mental health counselor, I am able to work with you on just about any challenge you may be experiencing, from depression and anxiety, to substance abuse, eating disorders, and relationship issues. I welcome clients from all walks of life and with all types of goals.

Since 1993, I have worked with individuals and families coping with a wide range of social, emotional and psychological stressors. My areas of clinical expertise Include the following: Anxiety, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic, ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder.

I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with life issues particularly anxiety, depression and trauma. Together, we examine areas of struggle or "stuckness" and identify new ways of being more engaged and effective in relationship with others and ourselves. Treatment modalities range from short-term brief, CBT, and problem-focused dynamic therapies to longer-term analytic work. For individuals seeking greater self-growth, I am a fully-trained and certified Jungian psychoanalyst and use dreams and active imagination to identify unconscious material that may lead an individual to a greater sense of life fulfillment and ultimately joy!

Throughout life we can experience challenges within our selves and our relationships. We can find ourselves feeling confused, stuck, unhappy, or unsatisfied. We might notice changes in our moods or behaviors, or feel more affected by stressors than at previous times in our lives. I specialize in adult psychotherapy, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem issues. Other specialty areas include challenges in navigating life transitions, relationships, and identity development.

What if you could deeply connect with people, trust yourself fully, and wake up excited for life? Difficult life events led you to coping in ways that were vital for surviving in the past, but now they are holding you back from living the life you want. I offer the opportunity for change. I can help you understand these protective parts of yourself, and gain a deeper Self awareness. By working together, we can heal the parts of you that are stuck in the past, and have kept you from moving forward. These parts show up as addiction, anxiety, depression, & self sabotage to distract from the pain beneath.

Feeling overwhelmed, having relationship issues, work stress, past traumas interfearing with life, or just don't feel like yourself? I understand how Anxiety, Depression, Anger, and Post Traumatic Stress can leave you feeling alone, confused, unsafe or socially uncomfortable. Therapy can help if you find it difficult to set boundaries, manage emotions/behaviors, or even have healthy communication with others. Choosing the right therapist is important. I have over 18 years of experience that I use to tailor your therapy sessions to fit your individual needs in an interactive, compassionate, and supportive environment.

I offer therapy services in English and Spanish to adolescent and adult populations suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, identity issues, relationship problems, and a wide range of other mental health needs. I am client-centered and strengths-based in my approach, working with you to discover and use your strengths to find the healthy coping skills you need to thrive. I have extensive experience in art, CBT, and mindfulness practices, and often use and encourage movement and outdoor therapeutic techniques to bring you closer to your best self.

Ideal clients are those who are looking for help and feel ready to challenge themselves and are ready for change. Issues of happiness, fulfullment, identity development, sexual orientation, gender, addiction, anxiety, depression and psychosis are some of the typical things clients bring into treatment.

At some point or another, each of us comes up against sticking points, loss of direction, or painful experiences. It is not always the case that "time heals all wounds." Unresolved issues can impact us over our lifetime. Therapy is one tool to help you unlock your inner strengths for healing and growth. You may be seeking help for your child or teen or trying to understand and support your child better. You may be looking to start therapy for yourself either for the first time or after a long treatment history. Whatever brings you into my office, together we will work to find your unique path to your goals.
