My approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration, providing you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Recognizing that culture plays a significant role in shaping beliefs, behaviors, and coping mechanisms, I am dedicated to providing interventions that are culturally responsive as well.

Sometimes life just gets really hard, and we simply cannot find any joy or peace. Please know I am someone who will help you look for the joy or at least a "glimmer" but I am also a safe zone and will hold space for you to share whatever it is and listen without judgement. Most times, we just need our voice to be heard and understood. I have experience working with men, women and older adults. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C), I am trained in lots of "therapeutic modalities" so I am skilled and will help you with your anxiety, depression, anger, stress, coping, life transitions, grief - you name it. However, I will always remember that you are human being - a beautiful human who is deserving of feeling good, confident & competent and having a sense of purpose and finding where you belong. I will share my knowledge & skills, be direct and hold you accountable as needed and will walk on this part of your journey with you. You only need to show up. We will figure out the rest together!

Greetings and thank you for considering me in your search for support along your journey for healthier and more fulfilling life experiences. My name is Jeremy Darden and I have been a licensed mental health therapist for nearly 15 years. I believe that therapy in its optimal form serves to empower and remind individuals that they have everything they need within them (the capacity to learn, grow, adapt, unlearn/deconstruct) and within their reach (the capacity to seek and ask for help; access resources; connect with others that can guide, support, and encourage). I look forward to working together

I was also a therapist at St. Francis St. Joseph Homes for Children, where I provided group, family and individual counseling for homeless or displaced boys who often needed support for trauma and grief.

I provided psychiatric rehabilitation (PRP) services for individuals with severe and persistent mental health diagnosis. I was a Supervisor at a non-profit for a case management team for over 7 years. This is where I have extensive experience in working with individuals with anxiety, low self-esteem, poor boundaries and difficulties forming relationships. I was one of the main presenters for Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and used these methods and techniques in my everyday work and practice. I am an Approved LCPC Supervisor in Maryland. I have provided a number of Licensed Graduate Professional Counselors (LGPC) with the supervision hours they needed to fulfill their requirements to obtain their LCPC. I have special training in Perinatal Mood Disorders and Mental Health. This training is a focus on the well-being of mothers as a whole, while also paying specific attention to her mental health as she moves along the journey of motherhood from conception to the Fourth Trimester. I feel this group of both fathers and mothers are one of the most overlooked and under-supported group, during a time in their lives when they REALLY need it. Much attention is given to the mothers during pregnancy and during the times before giving birth, but a lot of that support and attention disappears and shifts to the baby once delivery happens.

And I am here for all your stories because they deserve to be heard, and you deserve to be seen. In the last few years, I have had the opportunity to practice in diverse settings and at various levels of care, and I have found myself the most at home and energized supporting clients on their journey to self-discovery. I have had first hand experience with the challenges and added barriers that one may encounter simply existing as a person of color: at work, at school, and at home. From the generations of unresolved trauma, to the attachment ruptures and dysfunctional family dynamics to the endless systemic challenges, there needs to be a safe space for healing.  This is why this work is important: to break the harmful cycles, to make sure your pain is no longer overlooked or ignored simply because "you are strong".  Glow Up came to be from a passion of mine to educate, heal and empower others to embrace their whole life story. An opportunity to refine the values and boundaries that allow you to experience the beauty of relationships on your terms, and reconcile the painful experiences and devastating memories into intentional, purposeful and "whole" living.  Using a trauma-informed approach as well as attachment based and emotion focused interventions, we work together to identify your needs and your goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you. I am committed to providing you with the space to heal and thrive, to make use of humor and compassion, and to remain authentic and present every step of the way.

I have been working with individuals, families and couples for over 25 years in Maryland. Over that time, I have experience on how to engage and team with clients to help them make meaningful progress in their lives. I use a trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral approach to the work. Trauma events (single events or long-time exposure) can affect how we think and behave. Understanding how trauma impacts us biologically as well as emotionally can help us I adhere to a strength-based perspective in treatment. Even when times are rough, it is important to remember that everyone does have strengths. A key purpose of going to therapy is to build confidence in yourself. Identifying and highlighting successes is important. Research shows that it is easier to implement change if you are building on existing strengths rather than developing brand new ones.

My name is Willard and I am a licensed counselor in several states. My practice primarily focuses on helping others 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 help others to be okay with things that are beyond their control and work with them to establish themselves as the protagonist in their own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

I also have extensive knowledge and sensitivity in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, relationship problems, LGBTQIA issues and other life challenges. My understanding of counseling comes from many different theoretical orientations. I believe that the client or clients have the solutions to their dilemmas within one’s self. Therefore the counselor does not have the “answers” to the client’s “problem” but is a facilitator of the process that helps the client take responsibility and action and come to a resolution. I am here to support and guide you on that journey.

Hi there, my name is Darrius. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work and health? Are you feeling overwhelmed or just plain stuck in life? I help people restructure their damaged relationships. Relationships are more than romantic interactions between two people. Relationships as I define it can be with anyone or anything that you exchange energy with. The biggest relationship that we struggle to understand and grow with is the person staring at us in the mirror each morning. No matter what relationship your struggling with ( work, home, family, yourself.) I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!
