Steady Support With Effective Therapy in college park, MD

If you knew what to do to start feeling better, you would have already done it. But you’re not even sure what you need at the moment, much less how to begin to pull out of the stuck place you’ve been in for a while. You just know you are ready for something to change.

You’re going in circles

You’ve already been trying to make progress on your own, but you feel like you are going around and around in circles without getting very far. The people in your life care about you but you aren’t sure they really get how you are feeling and they don’t always know how to help. Perhaps you’ve been chipping away at making changes for yourself and recent challenges in your life and world have you feel like you’re losing ground, despite working just as hard. Or maybe you’ve been “fine” for so long, just keeping your head above water, that you have forgotten what excitement, contentment or joy feel like.

You’re looking for someone to help you make sense out of what you are experiencing and work with you to find a better way through it all. You need some help, and you’re considering finding a therapist in College Park, MD. It’s helpful to meet with someone who understands this environment, including the challenges and resources available here.

Frequently Asked Questions about Seeking a Therapist IN College Park, MD

  • If you are struggling with your emotions and mental health, related to events in your past or present, and this is negatively impacting your mood, relationships and ability to live the life you want to live, therapy may be helpful in helping you sort out what’s going on and make a plan for moving forward in a positive direction.

  • Therapist is a general term for a mental health professional that works directly with folks on their mental health. They may have a degree in counseling, social work or psychology, and may work with individuals, families or groups. Each discipline has their own education and licensing requirements. Medication is prescribed by medical professionals, such as physicians and psychiatrists.

  • Most of the time, people are coming into therapy wanting to see some changes in their lives. Working weekly with a therapist is typically a useful way of making steady, consistent progress towards those changes and goals. After therapy goals have been met, some people may benefit from seeing a therapist less frequently for additional support.

  • My College Park office is located in the heart of downtown, near the CVS and Trader Joe’s. It’s walkable to the University of Maryland College Park campus and the College Park metro stop on the green line. There is free parking on-site. The nearby City Hall has bike racks as well. So the office is accessible by car, bike, Metro or by foot!

  • While online therapy is convenient, and effective, some people really prefer in-person therapy. For anyone that doesn’t have full privacy in their home, dorm or office, coming into the College Park office offers more privacy and confidentiality for their sessions. And some people just like having a separate place in their life for therapy.

  • I am not in-network with any insurance plans. If your policy offers out-of-network benefits, you may be able to receive reimbursement for a portion of the costs through submitting a claim with your insurance company. Check with your insurance policy to find out exactly what your benefits are for out-of-network care. I will provide you with a Superbill for each session that can be submitted to your insurance for whatever out-of-network benefits you are able to claim.

  • I work with individual adults 18 years of age and older in Maryland. While I work with individuals on many relationship and family issues, I do not see couples or families for therapy. I am here to support your ability to navigate and engage in these relationships in a healthy, grounded way.

  • Yes! Hypnotherapy services are available at the College Park, MD office. Even if you do not live in the state of Maryland, you are welcome to come in and receive clinical hypnosis services at the office. While DC area traffic is always kind of terrible, the office is accessible by car and Metro, for all the surrounding areas. You can learn more about hypnotherapy with me here.
