Hello! My name is Melissa Maddox, I've been practicing in the mental health field, supporting both adolescents and adults in and around the Rockville area for the last 31 years. Therapy is my passion, and I'm grateful for the trust that every client gives to me when they allow me the chance to assist them in their journey towards positive growth and change. It's not just the trust they put into me, but also the trust they put into the process; a process that I know works. I see therapy as a collaborative effort between me and my clients, and I measure my success as a clinician by the success of my clients. I have a very laid-back style in both my therapeutic approach and my therapy environment. You can expect lots of humor, kindness, compassion, and empathy from me, as well as numerous candy jars, toys, games, and my dog Daisy sleeping through our sessions. I do offer both telehealth and in-person sessions, or a hybrid of both.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of experience. I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anger management difficulties, behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related issues, and self-esteem challenges. I enjoy helping others better understand their emotions, manage challenges, and feel more confident in their day-to-day lives. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Whether working with a child struggling in school, a teen managing overwhelming emotions, or an adult working through past trauma, I focus on building practical skills that promote emotional regulation, resilience, and confidence. I utilize evidence-based strategies such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, trauma-informed care, and social-emotional skill building to help clients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I also collaborate closely with families, schools, and other support systems when appropriate to ensure a well-rounded approach to care. My goal is to help clients develop the tools they need to manage challenges effectively, build stronger relationships, and feel more confident in themselves and their abilities.

With 30 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families, I've had the privilege of helping people navigate life's challenges - whether it's stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, coping with grief, or addressing health-related concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual because I believe therapy works best when it fits your unique needs and life circumstances. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, uncover patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies that help you cope and thrive. My work is grounded in empathy, experience, and a deep belief in people's ability to grow and change. I enjoy helping clients build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and take meaningful steps toward the life they want to live. Whether you are a teen or young adult struggling with school/social pressure and figuring out independence and identity, or an adult processing life transitions and past experiences of trauma or family separation, I aim to meet you where you are and support you in making changes that feel achievable and lasting. Everyone brings their own story, strengths, and challenges. I'm here to help you use those strengths, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want - one that feels manageable, authentic, and fulfilling. **Please note that due to a professional conflict of interest, I am currently unable to work with residents of Frederick County, Maryland**

I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker, raised by Caribbean immigrant parents who instilled in me the classic Millennial mantra: “You can achieve anything.” And while that belief fueled my ambition, it also came with a side order of generational challenges—perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, and a not-so-charming inability to gracefully handle life transitions. You know, the usual. But here’s the thing: hardship turned out to be my superpower. I became ambitious, self-aware, and checked all the right boxes, yet I couldn’t escape the cycle of mental and emotional roadblocks that left me feeling stuck, wondering how to truly move forward. This insight shaped not only my path but the way I guide others on theirs. Through my clinical work, I help high achieving millennials identify their patterns to move out of survival mode and into their surplus by bridging the gap between knowing and feeling —because being stuck isn’t who you are, and settling isn’t your story.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a safe, comfortable, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself and talk openly about what’s really going on. I’m down-to-earth, relatable, straightforward, and very solution-focused in my approach. I understand that life can get complicated, and sometimes you need a space where you can put everything on the table without worrying about being judged, criticized, or misunderstood. I’ll meet you where you are, listen to understand your experiences, and give you the space you need to process your thoughts and feelings. At the same time, I’m not a therapist who will simply sit back, nod my head, and tell you what you want to hear. When needed, I’ll ask the difficult questions, challenge you, help you recognize patterns, and encourage you to look at situations from a different perspective. Most importantly, I believe therapy should help you move forward. We’ll talk about the problem, but we’re also going to work together to figure out what you can realistically do about it. My goal is to help you gain insight, recognize your strengths, develop practical tools, and find solutions that actually make sense for your life.

Hi. I am a life-long learner and clinical psychologist who loves to help people understand more about themselves than they ever knew was possible. I’m a strong believer in that the more we understand how our past relationships and experiences shape who we are, the more we will learn how to deepen and strengthen existing and new relationships. Across my more than 25 years of practice, I have served clients on the battlefield in Iraq as a Navy Clinical Psychologist in a Marine Unit, treated individuals and families in a private practice setting and spent the majority of my treatment years serving federal government employees and their spouses.

Courtney Matthews, MS, LCPC, NCC Do you find difficulty identifying and communicating your needs to those around you? I've spent my career curating a person-centered approach that allows for the consistent building of strong therapeutic relationships encouraging the development of meaningful insight and change within the lives of my clients. Specializing in treatment concerning anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-informed care, as well as executive functioning, my person-centered approach supports the integration of personal agency and self-worth into the management of your daily life. While earning my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University, I completed my internship at Friendship Public Charter Schools Collegiate Academy, Washington, DC. In doing this I was allowed to work with adolescents from diverse economic backgrounds which expanded my views regarding the definitions of meaningful work within the counseling setting. After receiving my Master of Science, I worked at Turning Point Clinic in Baltimore, MD. Utilizing my experience, I helped individuals suffering from substance use disorders realize the effect internal as well as external factors have on their use. Most recently I am working with clients in a community-based holistic mental health and wellness center (Balance Point Wellness) to process their thoughts and emotions as well as find coping strategies that may work as scaffolding to manage short-term as well as long-term functional difficulties related to their mental health.

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.

Hi, I'm Gabriella, I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) since 2013, but I have been in the mental health field since 2006. We all know that in recent years, specifically starting in 2020, our life as we knew it drastically changed. Our relationships with our family, friends, coworkers and even ourselves appeared to stall indefinitely. We had to learn to maneuver in different ways to try and have a sense of "normalcy." But as we tried to navigate this new way of life, our mental health has suffered. We have noticed that depression, anxiety, and relationship/interpersonal issues have been rising because we have isolated ourselves for so long. As people, we are social beings and tend to gravitate towards social situations. Within the last year, rules and mandates have eased, and we are resuming to our "new normal," and maybe we are feeling hesitant and vulnerable to step out. Reaching out for help is very difficult but the most rewarding decisions you make. We can work together to make step by step goals so you can achieve your success.

I am a Marine Corps Veteran, Army wife, a mother, and a former educator. I want to make it clear that I may not be the right therapist for everyone, and neither do I strive to be. I focus on finding solutions that work for you. I am not a "how do you feel about that" therapist. I am a reality therapist who can provide long-term help for various mental health issues. 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 am the therapist who will be invested in your change; I will not always agree with you, I will challenge you, I will always be honest with you, and I will always have your best interest at heart. Your change is my priority!

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.
