Seeking therapy for the first time is a significant step, and it's natural to have reservations if you're accustomed to managing challenges independently. However, reaching out for support is not a sign of weakness; it's a recognition of your own needs and a proactive step towards well-being. Everyone encounters moments when their usual strategies don't seem to suffice, possibly because the situation feels overwhelming or unusually complex. In our sessions, we'll collaborate to uncover the strengths you've relied on in the past and explore how we can adapt and apply them to your current circumstances. It's about enhancing your resilience and equipping you with new tools for personal growth.

Yes, a therapist must be licensed to provide therapy services. We are licensed in the State of Maryland and Pennsylvania as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.

Our approach to counseling is all about connection. Connection to our past, present and our futures. This is why we operate from a family systems perspective that includes attachment theory, strengths-based approach, along with cognitive behavior therapy. Connection also to mind, body and spirit is pivotal to our approach and to true healing.

Your first session is what we call your intake session. This session will last about 50 - 75 minutes. In this session our therapist will go over informed consent and the paperwork you signed prior to the session. Take this time to ask any questions you may have about the paperwork. During this session you will share what has brought you to counseling and allow your therapist to get to know you better. At the end of the session have your calendar ready so you can schedule your next appointment with us!

Each session lasts 50-60 minutes.

Maximizing the benefits of therapy is a commendable goal, and your commitment to the process plays a pivotal role in achieving meaningful progress. Active engagement and dedication during our sessions are fundamental, but it's the efforts you make between sessions that truly amplify your journey of personal growth and development. The insights and strategies we explore together are tools for you to apply in daily life, fostering continuous improvement and self-discovery. Embrace this opportunity to extend your learning and practice beyond our meetings, and you'll find yourself moving steadily towards your goals.
