Thanks for taking the time to visit my listing. If you've come this far, you're on the brink of an important decision--and what a difference the right choice can make. As a Social Worker, I've made a difference in people's lives for nearly 15 years -- helping children, adolescents, adults, and families to overcome life/situational problems and gain emotional freedom.

My goal is to foster an interactive therapeutic experience, providing support and practical feedback to effectively address personal life challenges. I offer a personalized approach tailored to your needs. With compassion and understanding, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns and negative perceptions that are holding you back while we build on your strengths to help you attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing. As such this will begin the process of healing, growth, and self-empowerment.

Hi! I'm Veronica, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with over 12 years of experience providing therapy. Many of us yearn for a sense of peace, connection, and well-being in our lives. However, life circumstances and internal struggles can often hinder our ability to experience these deeply fulfilling states. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges and emotional pain. My goal is to support your growth and healing journey, empowering you to cultivate greater self-awareness, develop effective coping mechanisms, and live a more fulfilling life. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family (two teenagers and three dogs), practicing Pilates, and cheering on the Celtics. I am licensed in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Minnesota and Ohio.

Even though you may be struggling with something right now, you can choose to see it in a new way... which can lead to changing your relationship to it... which can lead to real transformation. Everything you need is already within you. My role is to help you access it, and use it. I bring curiosity, empathy, and evidence-based therapies -- including mind-body approaches (e.g., EFT tapping, energy work, breathwork, meditation/mindfulness) and the principles of ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy) and IFS (internal family systems therapy) and spiraling out from there as your story leads us. You bring openness, willingness to practice, and neuroplasticity, and you can change -- literally re-wire -- your brain. When you do, you'll be amazed at the cascade of positive changes this creates... not only within you, but all around you in your life. It is hard to be vulnerable in therapy. And while I don't yet know your story, I do know that if you are considering therapy, you are already doing the hard work of introspection. It takes courage to seek out more for yourself. You already have my respect and my empathy, and I would love to be part of your journey of healing and discovery. I'm a licensed mental health professional (LCSW-C) in Maryland and have experience as a social worker and therapist working with children and adults of all ages and backgrounds, providing individual and family therapy in a variety of settings (community mental health agency, schools, inpatient and outpatient healthcare). I learn something valuable from each client with whom I'm privileged to work, and deeply appreciate the insights I gain through our work together.

I integrate evidence-based methods like Trauma-Focused CBT and Motivational Interviewing with somatic, mindfulness and expressive arts practices - so healing happens not just in the mind, but also in the body and spirit.

I work with adults across the lifespan, from young adulthood through middle age and into the later chapters of life.

I value a holistic approach to mental health including the mind, body and spirit. In addition to my doctoral studies in clinical psychology, I also have a postgraduate background in lifespan developmental psychology.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I received my Masters from LeTourneau University and have been practicing for 4 years. I work with adult clients living with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and anger. The goal is to provide a safe space for clients to openly talk, gain self-awareness, and identify ways to overcome their challenges.

I have lived a life much like most of my clients. I have experienced hardships and achievements, sadness and joy, and disappointment in myself and in others. For most of my life, I have been lucky enough to somehow “figure it out” on my own. At one point in my life, I made a commitment to myself that no one should have to “figure it out” on their own. We all need to have someone who is committed to helping us out when we are at our most vulnerable.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker -Clinical. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have 10 years of experience providing clinical services to adults, families, and children. In my practice, I use a stregth based approach to help adults who struggle with managing the complexities of life - home, family, and career.

I specialize in providing deep insights, clear action steps, and high-level solutions - starting with the first session. Through short-term/brief therapy (1 to 12 sessions), I will help you solve the problem that is challenging you the most. My expertise is relied upon by politicians, executives, and the news. I am temporarily accepting clients from the general public to help as many people as possible navigate personal or professional challenges as our country experiences significant changes.

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. Schedule an appointment with me to begin your wellness journey.

My goal is to meet you where you are, focus on what matters most to you, and build on your strengths through healthy coping and healing practices. If you're ready to begin that journey, I invite you to reach out—let’s work together to help you become the best version of yourself.

Welcome! I'm Melissa. Are you naturally introspective and seeking clarity on how to better understand yourself, your relationships and your inner world? Have you always wondered why you feel different or been questioned about being "too sensitive?" Have you had to deal with unique challenges in your life such as chronic pain, sensory or social difficulties, neurodiversity, or OCD? I aim to provide a safe and empowering space to explore the questions about yourself that you have always wondered about. Due to our own life experiences, some of these questions and feelings may have been disregarded or pushed away by others or ourselves. As a neurodivergent therapist myself, I work with individuals who identify as highly sensitive, neurodiverse, struggling with inferential OCD, and/or struggling to understand their relationship patterns. I will approach therapy with you from the mindset of being collaborative co-pilots. While I will guide you along your journey, I believe that you play a powerful role in your own healing. For each individual I work with, I will always work to adapt to your own needs. I may implement a variety of techniques including neurodiversity-affirming techniques, parts work, EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy, behavioral experiments and mindfulness exercises to assist you in creating meaningful change. As a clinician, I embrace authenticity, uniqueness and humor, as my priority is to help acknowledge that we are all human.

I work with adults and couples dealing with communication problems, relationship conflict, anxiety, trust concerns, life transitions, and feeling stuck in patterns that keep repeating. My style is warm and conversational, but I'm also active in the process. I'll ask questions, challenge you when needed, and help you turn what we discuss into practical changes outside of therapy.

I am a faith-based therapist who believes in God, but ultimately, my passion lies in helping people, regardless of their beliefs. I am dedicated to helping others reach their full potential, regardless of their beliefs. I am a former school therapist, and for the last 6 years, I've been working with adults (basically, after my cohort of students graduated, about 60% wanted to keep me as a therapist, and I started working with both teens and adults).

I draw from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method, tailoring my approach to the unique needs, goals, and cultural background of each individual client and family I serve. I firmly believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful healing and from our very first session, my priority is to ensure that you feel genuinely seen, heard, valued, and never alone in your journey. Whether you are a young person navigating the complexities of growing up, a caregiver seeking support for your child, or a family working to strengthen your bonds and communication, I am here and I am honored to be a part of your healing story. I look forward to the privilege of working with you.
