Life Transitions
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that people are often stronger, more resilient, and more capable than they realize. My role is to help clients uncover those strengths, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and develop new ways of responding to life's challenges. I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, low self-confidence, relationship difficulties, and identity shifts. Using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), strengths-based interventions, and practical problem-solving, I help clients understand not only what they are feeling, but why they are feeling it. Together, we explore the cycles that often drive distress. Many people find themselves reacting automatically to triggers, conflict, uncertainty, or emotional demands in ways that once helped them feel safe but no longer serve them. Therapy provides a space to slow down, recognize those patterns, and create opportunities for different choices. My approach is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe healing begins when we can move from simply surviving to understanding ourselves with greater compassion and intention. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, struggling with anxiety, or feeling stuck in familiar patterns, I aim to help you reconnect with your strengths and build confidence in your ability to move forward

You're showing up every day — at work, for your family, for everyone who counts on you — and from the outside, it looks like you've got it all figured out. But underneath, you're carrying more than anyone knows. The stress, the worry, the feeling that no matter how much you do, it's never quite enough. I'm Season, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the founder of U Matter Counseling. I work with professionals who are high-functioning on the surface but quietly struggling with anxiety, stress, and the pressure of trying to hold it all together. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support — and reaching out isn't a sign of weakness. It's one of the strongest things you can do. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered techniques. I also integrate faith-based perspectives for clients who find meaning in their spirituality. Sessions are 100% virtual, so you can get the support you need from wherever feels most comfortable.

Hello, I'm Nazli Fouladi. I'm a clinical psychologist who is genuinely committed to helping you navigate life's challenges through mental well-being and emotional balance. I have a profound passion for delving into the complexities of the human mind and assisting others in their journey towards healing, personal growth, and living their best life. My approach is built on empathy, trust, and a strong belief in each person's capacity for positive change, all within a non-directive therapeutic space. 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. That’s why I’m particularly aware of the difficulties that may come up during the intricate stages and events of life. For example, going off to college, marriage, parenthood, work-life balance caring for older loved ones, generational events/trauma etc. My academic journey includes a Doctoral and Masters training in clinical psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology which I earned in the year 2009. Before that, I received a Master’s degree in lifespan Developmental Psychology from Johns Hopkins University. I also have a graduate background in the Fine Arts and Biology. I have been a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Maryland since 2013 and finished my doctoral internship at George Mason Counseling and Psychological Services. Prior to that, I received two years of supervised practicum training at two clinical private practice facilities where I provided assessment, testing and psychotherapy for individuals from various age groups and ethnicities. For example, I have worked with individuals suffering from trauma/ crisis management, depression, general/specific anxiety, Traumatic Brain Injury, various neurological disorders, schizophrenia, phobia, eating, bipolar, body dysmorphic and personality disorders. Besides English, I am also fluent in Farsi.

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.

Hi, I’m Lyndsy, I go by Liz. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 3 years of experience in community mental health. I work with adults, teens, and families who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship stress, and the general feeling of being overwhelmed or stuck. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’ve tried it before and it didn’t feel like a fit, I’m glad you’re here. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and honest. I talk with you, not at you, and I won’t hide behind clinical jargon. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you make sense of what’s going on, notice patterns, and build tools that actually work for your real day-to-day life, not just in theory. I see the whole person. Your culture, family, faith, identity, and life experiences all matter, and they’re welcome in our sessions. I also believe healing happens in connection: with yourself, with the people you love, with your community, and sometimes even with nature. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or clinical to be effective. I balance flexibility with structure. We’ll set goals together, and I use simple check-ins to track how you’re doing so we can see your progress and adjust when something isn’t working. Some sessions will be about working through something hard. Others may be about just being heard. Both are part of the process. If you’re looking for a therapist who is genuine, culturally aware, and committed to helping you feel better, not just talk in circles, I’d love to connect with you.

Hello! My name is Douglas (Doug) Starliper and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed to practice psychotherapy in both Maryland and Virginia! Before becoming a licensed therapist, I spent a career as a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division where I deployed four times. The struggles many Veterans are facing today are what galvanized my interest and desire to begin my 2nd career as a therapist. I utilized my GI bill to complete my undergraduate degree at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD and my graduate degree at University of Maryland Baltimore. I recently completed the supervised portion of my career and am currently fully licensed to practice independently as a LCSW-C.

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.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
