Hi, My name is Antoinette Fobbs, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Maryland. I provide a new-wave and relatable approach to therapy. I am culturally aware and understand the importance of mental health and self-care.. I provide a safe space for my clients to be themselves in a judgement free zone. I enjoy working with adults and couples and helping them to overcome the daily obstacles they face in their lives. I provide coping strategies, homework assignments (when applicable) and positive reinforcement for my clients.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will determine if I will be a good fit for your therapeutic journey. I believe it is very important to connect with your therapist. I will ask some background questions, gather information and create a plan for us moving forward in therapy. We will also determine how often you would like to meet.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a down to earth therapist and have worked with individuals who were once reluctant to start therapy become open and glad they gave it a try. I am open-minded, understanding, supportive and meet my clients where they are. I have helped clients who were feeling down overcome their depression with coping mechanisms at bey to utilize daily. I am also a firm believer in positive affirmations, positive self talk and positive healing.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are in college, newly transitioning into college, taking a gap-year or recently turned 18 and trying to figure out the world. I also enjoy working with couples who my find themselves at a crossroad in their relationship and trying to figure out which way to go. I love working with a range of clients from women who recently gave birth and my be struggling with post partum depression to women who's children are leaving the nest and they are trying to find themselves. I enjoy working with women who completed college and are now working to define who they are. I also consider myself an ally for the LGBTQIA+ community.
