Courtney Matthews, MS, LCPC, NCC Do you find difficulty identifying and communicating your needs to those around you? I've spent my career curating a person-centered approach that allows for the consistent building of strong therapeutic relationships encouraging the development of meaningful insight and change within the lives of my clients. Specializing in treatment concerning anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-informed care, as well as executive functioning, my person-centered approach supports the integration of personal agency and self-worth into the management of your daily life. While earning my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I completed my internship at Friendship Public Charter Schools Collegiate Academy, Washington, DC. In doing this I was allowed to work with adolescents from diverse economic backgrounds which expanded my views regarding the definitions of meaningful work within the counseling setting. After receiving my Master of Science, I worked at Turning Point Clinic in Baltimore, MD. Utilizing my experience, I helped individuals suffering from substance use disorders realize the effect internal as well as external factors have on their use. Most recently I am working with clients in a community-based holistic mental health and wellness center (Balance Point Wellness) to process their thoughts and emotions as well as find coping strategies that may work as scaffolding to manage short-term as well as long-term functional difficulties related to their mental health.

I received my Master of Social Work from Simmons in 1996 and reside in Massachusetts. My entire career has been community and relationship based.

I am a compassionate, client-centered therapist who believes that healing happens in the context of safety, trust, and genuine connection. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while building practical skills they can use in daily life. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and tailored to each individual, recognizing that no two people experience challenges in the same way. I frequently integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop healthier ways of coping, while also incorporating elements of mindfulness, strengths-based interventions, and emotional regulation skills. I prioritize meeting clients where they are, moving at a pace that feels manageable, and creating space for clients to feel heard, validated, and empowered. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, life transitions, and family or relational stress. I value helping clients build insight, confidence, and resilience, and I strive to foster a therapeutic environment where clients feel supported as they work toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In my 15+ years of experience I’ve worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families to identify challenges and use their strengths and values to overcome them. I have experience working with clients who are having mental health or emotional challenges that affect work, school, home, and community relationships and success.

I've gained my experience by working in corrections, hospitals, schools, community outpatient programs, and private practice. Hence, I've seen mental health concerns create obstacles in many areas of life, including school, employment, relationships, parenting, and spirituality. I became a mental health professional to help remove these barriers as we work collaboratively on this therapeutic journey.

We will explore underlying patterns of behavior while also developing skills to manage stress. I love helping people learn about themselves to achieve growth and feel better. I believe in a nonjudgmental approach that provides a safe environment. There's no problem too small to talk about.

Welcome! My name is Christian; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent over the last 9 years assisting individuals negotiate through some of life's hardest challenges - anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, and other life circumstances - through approaches of compassion, sensible support, and insight. I have worked across multiple settings, including outpatient treatment, community programs, residential treatment, employee assistance programs, and other acute settings. I believe there is no universal method for therapy because each of us has a unique journey in life. Therapy works best when the conversation feels authentic, along with following a clinical approach that is clearly defined and best fits YOU. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and board games.

I serve as a practical assistant and thought partner for individuals seeking to process their thoughts, organize daily habits, and explore personal development strategies to increase personal growth. I enjoy using solution focused methods to help brainstorm coping strategies, learn psychological frameworks, and map out goals for personal growth. I work to help decrease stress that can be overwhelming and deal with challenges to help navigate overall well-being.

What I love most about being a therapist is helping people change their lives in ways they never thought possible. I have the honor of walking alongside clients through moments of rediscovery, where they reconnect with their inner strength, challenge their life long patterns and feel whole again. I work primarily with adults and older adults, helping them heal from grief, anger, shame and change.

Hi, I'm Gabriella, I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) since 2013, but I have been in the mental health field since 2006. We all know that in recent years, specifically starting in 2020, our life as we knew it drastically changed. Our relationships with our family, friends, coworkers and even ourselves appeared to stall indefinitely. We had to learn to maneuver in different ways to try and have a sense of "normalcy." But as we tried to navigate this new way of life, our mental health has suffered. We have noticed that depression, anxiety, and relationship/interpersonal issues have been rising because we have isolated ourselves for so long. As people, we are social beings and tend to gravitate towards social situations. Within the last year, rules and mandates have eased, and we are resuming to our "new normal," and maybe we are feeling hesitant and vulnerable to step out. Reaching out for help is very difficult but the most rewarding decisions you make. We can work together to make step by step goals so you can achieve your success.

My name is Amy, and I am a wife and mother of two boys. I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work and have pursued additional training in Addictions Counseling. With over 20 years of experience, I have provided therapy to both adolescents and adults across a variety of settings, including schools and community-based programs. Throughout my career, I have owned a group practice and served on the leadership team of an outpatient clinic. In addition to my clinical work, I am an executive coach who enjoys supporting business owners and professionals in leadership roles as they navigate career transitions and challenges.

I have worked at a hospital, community mental health center, group and private practice. I worked with people with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, addiction problems, minority/ identity and multicultural issues, life transition problems. Also, I worked with people with ADHD and developmental disorders. I understand that you would like to learn about your problems to change and navigate your life in a better way.

With 26 years of experience in the mental health field, my background spans a wide array of treatment settings and diverse populations. My journey began in wilderness programming for adolescents, witnessing how nature and challenge foster powerful change. I then transitioned to residential programs for at-risk youth—including those with severe behavioral challenges and adolescent sexual offenders—and provided substance use treatment for youth and adults in detention facilities. Since 2016, I have focused heavily on the intersection of mental health and addiction, treating them as deeply interconnected. Today, I specialize in treating all types of addiction, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and certain personality disorders. My passion lies in helping adolescents (ages 14–18) and adults navigate their struggles with honesty, support, and practical solutions. Taking an eclectic approach, I incorporate Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness into my practice. I also integrate creative modalities like sand tray and art therapy, knowing healing doesn’t always happen through words alone. Over my career, I have run numerous therapy groups and worked with a broad range of individuals, including LGBTQ+ and deaf clients. Academically, I earned my bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology from Frostburg State University (2000) and my Master of Social Work from Salisbury University (2011), obtaining my LGSW in 2011 and my LCSW-C in 2014. At my core, I believe a fulfilling life requires balancing and nurturing the body, mind, and soul. My therapeutic approach is straightforward, genuine, and transparent: I don’t sugarcoat things, and what you see is what you get. I entered this field with a singular, clear purpose—to help people—and that remains my exact intention every day.

I’m a licensed professional counselor who works with adults navigating identity, relationships, ambition, and the internal pressure to “have it together.” Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, high-capacity individuals who appear stable and successful on the outside but feel conflicted, stuck, or emotionally isolated underneath. My role is to create a space where complexity is welcomed and nothing has to be simplified to be understood. My background in mental health allows me to approach therapy with both clinical rigor and relational depth. I pay attention to patterns — in attachment, communication, shame, avoidance, over-functioning, and self-criticism — and help you understand how those patterns developed and why they made sense at the time. From there, we work toward updating them so they align with who you are now, not who you had to be in order to survive earlier chapters of your life. I tend to be direct, engaged, and structured. I don’t believe in vague therapy that drifts without direction. At the same time, I don’t rush the process. Insight without application doesn’t create change, and action without understanding doesn’t create stability. We work toward both.

Hi! I’m Christina Fals, LCSW (she/her/hers) — a bilingual Hispanic American Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Washington, D.C., offering virtual therapy for clients in D.C. and Maryland. I provide a compassionate, culturally affirming space for individuals navigating life’s transitions, identity exploration, and emotional healing. I work with older children and teens (ages 12–17), as well as young adults and professionals in their 20s to 40s who are balancing multiple roles — student, partner, caregiver, or professional — while striving to feel more grounded, confident, and emotionally balanced. Many of my clients identify as Latino/a/x, multicultural, or queer, seeking a therapist who truly understands the intersection of culture, identity, and emotional well-being.

Hi, I’m Stephanie—a therapist who helps overwhelmed parents of young children (ages 6 and under) feel calmer, more connected, and more confident in how they show up. If you’re navigating the sleep-deprived, overstimulating, “why is my child melting down again?” years (been there!), or moving through a major life change and worried about how it’s impacting your child, you’re in the right place. I specialize in the emotional side of early parenthood—helping parents understand both their child’s behavior and their own patterns, triggers, and emotional responses through a developmental, relationship-based lens. Many of the parents I work with come in feeling stretched thin—burnt out, reactive, guilty, overstimulated, or stuck in patterns they swore they’d break. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone—and it makes sense given how much you’re carrying. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, less reactive in hard moments, and more confident in how you respond to your child.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Tennessee. I received my Masters from the Howard University and have been practicing for 5 years.

Are you looking to improve your communication, strengthen your relationships, and manage conflict more effectively? Interpersonal skills are the foundation of healthy and thriving relationships—both personal and professional. If you are recovering from an emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationship and feel disconnected from yourself, therapy can also help you rebuild your identity, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop healthier relationship patterns. I am a relationship counselor, currently providing individual and group therapy for adults aged 18 and older. I specialize in helping clients improve their relationship with themselves through personal growth and the development of healthier interpersonal skills, including communication, conflict resolution, anger management, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. Many individuals struggling in unhealthy, emotionally abusive, or narcissistic relationship dynamics often lose their sense of self, confidence, voice, and emotional balance within those relationships. A major focus of my work is helping clients reconnect with themselves, rebuild healthier patterns, and strengthen how they show up in relationships with others. How you relate to yourself impacts every relationship in your life. When you learn to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, manage emotions, and navigate challenges in healthier ways, your relationships often become stronger, more balanced, and more fulfilling. This growth can improve confidence, reduce stress, and support overall emotional wellness. I provide a supportive environment where clients can increase self-awareness, create meaningful change, and develop healthier connections with themselves and others.
