“Anyone can tell you what to do, but the true ability to grow comes from understanding who you are.” In 15 years of clinical practice, I've realized that within our uniqueness, we have one thing in common: We are all constantly writing our life stories. Many of us are passive biographers, believing that our book is already written, and that the ending is set in stone. Here's the secret: Our lives are not linear, and we have the power to edit our narrative at any--and every--moment. While we cannot change our past, we can learn to change our perspective of it. Once we unlock our unconscious defenses, we gain insight about who we've become and unleash the potential to transform into who we authentically want to be. When entering any new relationship, it is perfectly healthy--and encouraged-- to take the time you need to test it out and make sure it feels right. I promise to meet you where you are, and provide you with the tools to explore yourself deeper and make transformations at your own pace. I will support you to find the strength and motivation that will allow you to be more open and committed to making the changes you desire. In our time together, we will explore the full range of your emotions, including feelings that you may not be aware of--yet! Bringing these unconscious elements into your present experience offers you a series of a-ha moments that lay the foundation for greater self-awareness and enable you to live your best life. If you're ready to dig deep, it is my honor to join you on your journey. Let's remove the barriers that are blocking you from realizing your wants, needs, and actualizing your full potential!

Welcome! I am so happy you are reaching out for help. My true passion in life is helping others navigate their own. Life gets difficult and we all need someone to support us; therapy is a fantastic way to allow us to learn how to better support ourselves. I have had 11 years of experience in the mental health field; with clients in the age range of 7-80 years old. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2016 with my Masters in Social Work. From that point, I worked at the Center for Eating Disorders until 2018, where I provided family, individual and group therapy to both adolescents and adults. During the COVID19 Pandemic I worked an inpatient psychiatry unit providing a variety of social work services to adults struggling with chronic mental illness and/or addictions. Now, I’ve joined the outpatient world to better serve all of us together. But that’s enough of my journey. Now, it’s time to start your own. I look forward to working together in helping you work through the issues that you have sought help for. Namaste, Chelsea

I am a licensed professional counselor in Maryland. I am committed to helping my clients find healing in a way that's meaningful for them. My goal is to offer time and attention for intentional and reflective listening so that my clients feel heard, validated, and receive the tools necessary to find freedom from emotional hurts. Most of my clients manage substance use concerns, anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships, and adjustment difficulties. I am pursuing a counseling-related doctoral degree, and I look forward to implementing relevant skills and techniques in my practice. My specific focus areas include collegiate-age adjustment issues, harm reduction, mood and anxiety-related issues, trauma, and grief. I use a client-centered approach focused on whole-body wellness. My counseling philosophy is that wellness is a journey and everyone deserves a supportive person to journey beside them. I look forward to walking alongside you in your path toward healing and discovery.

Hello! My name is Marissa White and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). I work with individuals who have a wide range of concerns including trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. I combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Life's challenges can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide a safe environment for my clients to speak openly about life and stressors. As my client, we will begin services where you are, and together, I will help you explore, develop, and create sense of balance as you learn, grow, and make positive changes that can result in a more fulfilling life. I look forward to working with you.

I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland with 15 years of experience working with people across the lifespan. I'm also a Certified Reiki Master, Certified Yoga Instructor, and a Registered Play Therapist. I support clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, and post-traumatic stress. I have specialized training in supporting trauma survivors that are ready to do the personal work to become trauma "thrivers". I also have a heart for working with women that are recovering from domestic violence/narcissistic abuse. Although I value my work with men, I hold a special place for women that are learning how to reclaim their power and confidence in self (first!) and in their relationships. My therapy style is a mix of warm, non-judgmental, and experiential learning and conversation. I operate from a strength-based approach, which means that I offer a supreme embrace in who you are as a WHOLE person. I like to incorporate expressive-art and mind-body based interventions in my work because "talk therapy" can only do but so much. Organically, we will flow into incorporating mind-body based interventions--it depends on what's needed when in a therapy session. If you're ready to WHOLEHEARTEDLY commit to your recovery, I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.
