Therapists in Maryland

My name is Leslie Dalencour, I have been a therapist for over 20 years. With over two decades in mental health and nearly a decade in private practice, I bring a holistic, integrative approach to well-being through sound healing and holistic and somatic therapies. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a long-standing practitioner in the field, I specialize in blending traditional psychotherapy with body-centered modalities to support lasting resilience and inner balance.

Do you ever feel like you know exactly why you do the thing, and then go right ahead and do the thing anyway? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) ) with a passion for deep, philosophical discussions about meaning and purpose. I take a solution focused approach to therapy, emphasizing both self-exploration and the development of practical coping skills. Therapy with me is not just about talking, it’s about actively building tools to help clients manage emotions, improve relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives. I enjoy teaching coping strategies that empower individuals to handle life’s stressors with greater confidence and resilience. I have practiced across a range of clinical and community settings, serving individuals, children, and families. My professional background includes work as a court-appointed special advocate coordinator and as a foster care social worker, as well as facilitating Parenting Through Change – Reunification (PTC-R) with parents working toward family reunification. I have provided care within a forensic psychiatric hospital, trained in a comprehensive DBT program, and delivered services in substance use intensive outpatient programs, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. Throughout these settings, I have supported clients navigating emotional dysregulation, trauma, and relational difficulties. My current practice focuses on adults, with particular attention to emotion regulation and strengthening the capacity to cope with life's challenges.

Requests for administrative documentation—such as disability certification, FMLA, or emotional support animal letters—will be referred to another mental health provider.

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my nearly twenty years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My primary focus is on helping you deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I try and help you be okay with things that are beyond your control and work with you to establish yourself as the protagonist in your own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

Therapy can help you understand what is getting in the way, build emotional balance, strengthen self-trust, and create realistic strategies for growth.

Hello, my name is Ronak Makadia, and I am a licensed clinical psychologist (Psy.D.) with additional training in social work (MSW). As a second-generation, Asian American I quickly learned the stigma and shame attached to attending therapy, especially within the Asian American community. As a cis-gender woman of color, I value and will provide culturally competent services. Please note that I only accept adults and older adults who are high-functioning but need support to overcome barriers. Due to the nature of my private practice, I am unable to accept clients who are seeking treatment for trauma, substance use or severe mental illness. I work alongside patients to overcome any barriers they may be facing. I will always encourage you to create, learn, and consistently use healthy coping mechanisms. To avoid staying stuck, I collaborate with you in developing solutions to aid you in moving forward in your life. We all get stuck sometimes and I am here to help. Therapy does not have to be a painful experience and I will be here to guide you toward improvement in a welcoming, affirmative environment. I support the movement to destigmatize therapy and make mental health care accessible for all. I will continue to support this mission and provide quality counseling. Talk to me about scheduling a first appointment if you are interested in working together. I look forward to working with you!

Clients often describe me as a good listener who helps them discover new ways to cope, grow and move forward with confidence.
