Therapists in Ellicott City, MD

I am passionate about assisting individuals and their loved ones through the unique challenges associated with the aging process. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have alcohol and/or drug abuse concerns. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from adolescence through the geriatric population. I have over thirty years of experience providing therapy and psychological assessments within a wide variety of clinical settings and diverse populations.

Welcome! I'm Joanna. I work with adolescents (16+) & adults, most frequently young adults. I particularly enjoy working with transitional issues - changes in school, jobs, family, relationships, identity, etc. Often, my clients are dealing with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and/or interpersonal conflict. I value working with folks with a range of backgrounds, races, faiths, genders, sexualities, and lifestyles. My work sees people through a systems lens, recognizes the oppressive barriers to mental wellness, and encourages reflection on cultural impact. My ideal client is open minded, patient, and motivated for change.

There can be times when it seems our bodies, or minds, or even or world are betraying us. The human experience itself can be difficult. Introduce chronic fear, depression, intrusive thoughts, or anxiety and it can be difficult to see ways to change, making things even more overwhelming. We will work together to see how you can find your footing and create a more beneficial perspective and hopefully impact your future. I am most versed in treatment of depression, anxiety, OCD/related, trauma, substance use (alcohol, marijuana, other behavioral i.e., food, sex, etc.), couples, and men’s issues; LGBTQ+ ally. Regards, Alex Amico LCSW
