Hello, I’m Kumi Pledger, LCPC, and I am currently accepting new clients. I am also available on Sundays to better accommodate busy schedules. I provide a warm and supportive space for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, self-doubt, or major life transitions. Many of my clients appear strong and capable on the outside while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and gently direct. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, I help clients understand the patterns beneath their struggles, develop practical coping skills, strengthen boundaries, and rebuild trust in themselves. With a multicultural background and diverse life experiences, I am especially mindful of how culture, family expectations, identity, and caregiving responsibilities can affect emotional well-being. My goal is to help you feel genuinely understood as you create a life that feels more peaceful, confident, and authentic.

Are you feeling a little “off” lately? Down, anxious or unsure what comes next in life, especially after the last year or so? Or it could be you just don’t feel like yourself and you’re not sure why. You are not alone. To have problems means that you are human; but there is hope. I provide a warm, accepting space for people to explore what matters to them and what’s getting in their way. I help clients learn to feel more comfortable with their emotions, to experiment with different ways of relating to their thoughts and feelings, to cultivate resilience, and to develop the self-trust and self-compassion that will support them along their paths. Therapy provides you with a place to work on and work out your concerns, to be heard and reflect, and to take some space for yourself. Together, we will explore the underlying reasons for your troubles, what it might mean for you to “feel better” and begin to live a more productive, meaningful and engaged life. I use an integrative approach consisting of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness-based interventions.

First of all, I love what I do and to witness the positive changes clients make in their lives as a result of choosing therapy to help them accomplish what they want. Often the goal is to achieve symptom relief so as to not be overwhelmed by anxiety, mood disorders or be better able to manage the challenges of ADHD. Sometimes there is not a specific outcome identified but a need for ongoing support for dealing with life transitions or difficult people. Sometimes clients use therapy as a confidential sounding board where they can talk to an objective outsider about situations and sort out their perspective. I offer various ways to see and respond to situations that might otherwise not be considered. Your opinion as a client is the most important one and I will also honestly provide mine when asked for. I believe therapy can actually be something that you can look forward to and an opportunity to learn new skills to use long after you discontinue, and we can even have some fun and laughs along the journey.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, attention challenges, or difficult emotions and behaviors. My goal is to provide a calm, supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable working toward meaningful change. I’m David Blitz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Much of my career has focused on working with children and teens with complex needs, and I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I also work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship difficulties, and personality related challenges. My approach is practical, collaborative, and centered on meeting you where you are. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, develop practical tools, and work toward lasting change with a little gentle humor when the moment calls for it.

It is magical thinking to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different outcome. Often this is what we do in our relationships with partners, children, family, friends, and ourselves. Therapy is like pushing a pause button on what isn’t working well–a pause to examine the thought patterns and behaviors that may be keeping us from a more satisfying life. Therapy is a unique way to explore a kinder way of viewing yourself and build on that to improve your relationships. This means I meet you where you are and we collaboratively map a path forward. Like any road trip, there will be wonderful vistas, stretches of boring road, a flat tire, and an amazing realization that this trip was what you needed. We are never the same after a visit. We know something new about ourselves, how strong we are, how vulnerable we’ve been, and the grace that we can offer to ourselves. You are the expert of your life. I am curious about what you have done that has worked and will build on those strengths to make a difference. I believe that unconditional regard, non-judgment, and a client-centered, eclectic approach establish a helpful relationship in which positive change will occur. For the last twenty years, I have worked with individuals, couples, and families, who experienced trauma, divorce and its disruption to life; addiction issues, domestic violence, and its effects on relationships. My work also included counseling for anxiety, depression, and men who wanted to be more self-aware. I grew up in California and the West and recently relocated to Maryland to be with the love of my life. I received my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Holy Names University in Oakland, California, and I'm a fully licensed clinical professional counselor in Maryland. ‍

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

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. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
