I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C), a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Washington, D.C. (LICSW), and a Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor with more than 20 years of experience in the social work and behavioral health field. I earned both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Social Work degrees from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations across private practice, community-based agencies, and behavioral health settings. I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, as well as family therapy, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, life transitions, and other emotional and behavioral challenges. I utilize an integrative and evidence-based approach to treatment, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Person-Centered Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. My work is further informed by a holistic mind-body perspective, recognizing the connection between emotional wellness, physical health, and overall quality of life. Committed to the highest ethical standards, I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives and should play an active role in shaping their treatment journey. I foster a collaborative, supportive, and culturally responsive therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. My practice emphasizes open communication, partnership, and the delivery of culturally and linguistically appropriate services that honor each individual's unique background, identity, and lived experiences. I view social work not only as my profession but also as my calling. I believe my purpose is to be an agent of change, a compassionate advocate, a voice for those who may feel unheard, and a champion for equity, justice, and empowerment. Through my work, I strive to help individuals and families recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and achieve meaningful, lasting growth.

Welcome! I’m Toni Rivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Mind Over Chatter LLC. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, better understand their thoughts and emotions, and create meaningful and lasting change. I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space where they can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Life can often feel overwhelming, and the thoughts we carry can sometimes make it difficult to find clarity, peace, and confidence. Through therapy, I work alongside my clients to help them explore their experiences, identify patterns that may no longer serve them, and develop practical tools to support their emotional well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized because I understand that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship challenges, difficult life transitions, overwhelming emotions, or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, my goal is to meet you where you are and support you on your journey. At Mind Over Chatter LLC, I am committed to helping clients quiet the mental “chatter,” strengthen their coping skills, and develop a greater sense of peace, confidence, and fulfillment. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they work toward healing, growth, and becoming the best version of themselves. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Sometimes, taking the first step toward support can open the door to meaningful change.

I am a clinical social worker, therapist & life coach. I collaborate with clients in facilitating their ability to navigate their journey through change. I provide clients the opportunity to learn, change and grow, and I provide guidance for them to learn healthy adaptive ways to improve their response to encounters with life stressors and challenging life situations. Clients are engaged in various evidence based therapeutic interventions and the exploration and discovery of their untapped potential, so they can harness the necessary skills and strategies to facilitate behavioral change. In the scope of my practice I aim to empower clients through sessions that are based on a holistic, client driven approach. I view clients through the lens of their personal environment, as their well-being is significantly shaped by their life experiences. In addressing clients presenting issues, I take into consideration the correlation between their presenting issues and their environment; i.e., social, cultural and physical, that contribute to current challenging life circumstances. Focus is given to past experiences and current situations to help them navigate their therapy encounter and future successfully.

Together, we’ll explore patterns, build coping skills, and find strategies that actually fit your life. I often use cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to help clients feel less stuck and more in control. Whether you’re overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or ready to make changes, I’ll meet you where you are. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities and strive to create an inclusive space where you feel respected, heard, and supported. Please note, my hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 9AM-3:30PM. I do not have evening or weekend availability at this time.

Hi! I am Alyson Davis, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a millennial and military brat that grew up in Northern Virginia. Currently, I reside in Maryland and have licenses in both Maryland and Virginia. I am taking clients in both states via telehealth. For undergrad, I attended the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE!) and for my graduate education and clinical training I practiced at Valdosta State University. The therapeutic modality I use the most often is Narrative Therapy. Using Narrative Therapy, I help clients change the problem stories in their heads to preferred stories to improve their behaviors, relationships, and life outlook. With this practice, I enjoy using journal prompts, metaphors, and media. I am not a trained Christian therapist, but I do identify as a Christian, and enjoy using all religion and spirituality in my practice, but it is not required. I am LGBTQ-IA+ affirming and believe in honoring and creating space for all identities in session. A personal joy of mine is working with Black clients who are first-timers in therapy to work on destigmatizing mental health and healing the impacts of white supremacy. More specifically, I prioritize supporting Black clients who grew up in predominantly White spaces who did not feel "Black enough." My favorite problem to work with is when someone says "I'm stuck," to help a client not only get moving but move in a healthy direction. In my personal life, I am married, am a mother to a sickle cell warrior son, have a wonderful bonus-daughter and playful Aussiedoodle. That being said, I have an appreciation for working with blended families and exploring dating post-divorce. For self-care I enjoy writing fiction, listening to 90's and 2000s R&B, and watching romcoms. Looking forward to helping your healing journey.

Hi, my name is Candace, but you can call me Candy, You have taken the first and often hardest step in bettering your life by seeking help! Beginning therapy can be scary and people often feel vulnerable when doing this. One of my attributes is to try and make this journey as comfortable as possible for you. I have worked in the mental health field for more than 28 years and have been licensed for 8 years. My vast experience has allowed me to gain knowledge in the many stressors that people may face during their life. . I have been honored by each person that I’ve worked with as they have allowed me a windows view of their life and the issues each of them had. My thought on counseling is that the person seeking therapy and the therapist are a team and work together as a team to identify goals, find solutions and overcome the issues at hand. I have a desire to use my empathetic and compassionate nature along with my experience to help people find and utilize services, coping skills and solutions that will assist them in gaining a better quality of life. I do this by providing a confidential safe and judgment free place for those seeking therapy to discuss their situations and needs. I use a strengths-based approach along with solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am good at thinking outside the box to help people in identifying and reaching their goals.
