Life is not always a walk in the park. Stress, worry, & concern can feel overwhelming to the point that things feel out of control. I find it very important to allow a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic space for clients to feel welcomed and comfortable. I am a board-certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland providing individual counseling services to adults and adolescents. I have experience working with individuals seeking help due to increased anxiety, depression, communication /relationship challenges, grief & loss, and general life challenges. I have a bachelor of Science in psychology from Morgan State University, and a Master of Science from Loyola University Maryland in clinical mental health counseling. My education and hands on experience has allowed my career in the mental health field to thrive for over 20+ years. I have training in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola University, allowing a holistic approach integrating psychotherapy with spiritual/faith/religious understanding to help an individual pursue healing and growth. My goal as a counselor is to be present through your therapeutic journey and continue to be there when you discover what helps to lift the heavy burden, noticing a sense of relief, a sense of peace, and security. https://www.rhcounselingmindset.com

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session is called an intake appointment. This initial appointment allows the clinician to get to know you and how to best provide support by asking a series of questions. This is the beginning of the therapeutic rapport, allowing the client to know the importance of therapy, how it can be helpful, and limitations.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

It is very important to give yourself the space to process your thoughts in a safe environment with a professional. Allow yourself to learn and implement coping strategies and mindfulness techniques to help with positive change in your life. These are things I can help you with. Properly processing one's thoughts can lead to increased self-esteem and increased confidence, leading you to the life you want to live with a healthy mindset.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

clients experiencing current or prior life circumstances preventing one from moving forward and causing Anxiety, Depression, and/or Grief.

Rochelle is kind and deeply caring, always willing to help me process things at a pace that feels safe and affirming to me. She makes sure I am taking steps for my own health and relational well-being with others and each session is the perfect balance of care, humor, and authenticity.

Rochelle was such a godsend. She made me excited to come to our sessions every week. She always left me feeling empowered, comforted and supported. She is a very compassionate listener and supports you where ever you are at in your therapy journey. She has inspired me in so many ways on how to be more loving, gentle and kind to myself. She was a true gift to have as a provider and her impact will stay with me as I continue on in life.

Rochelle has been a grounding and empowering force in my life since I began treatment with her. Her kindness and willingness to listen has been pivotal for me. She's been so great at creating a safe space for me to go on endless tangents. She's phenomenal at what she does!
