I've been a professional counselor for over 31 years working at several very interesting locations during my career. I spent over 12 years at the National Institutes of health serving a wide spectrum of clients from some of the leading health researchers in the world to the hardworking staff workers from executive administrators to cafeteria custodians. I was the senior staff EAP representative and crisis counselor during the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11/2001, the anthrax attack in Washington D.C. two weeks later and the D.C. Sniper about a year later. Subsequently I gained a tremendous amount of first line experience assisting people with stress and trauma as well as the milieu of issues facing any employee of such a large institution. After a 12 year stint at the NIH I was recruited to work with DOD and the United States military around the country assisting soldiers and their families with the complicated relationship and individual stress brought about by multiple combat deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas on conflict in the world. My experiences have given me a tremendous amount of training and skills honing toward helping people deal with a multitude of issues. I know how difficult it can be to ask for help and I applaud you for your courage in coming to this site to seek a solution to issues in life which can indeed be challenging. I look forward to working along with you on your journey of change and personal improvement. My style is relaxed and accepting with the aim of providing my client a safe and non-judgmental venue with which to explore their current situation. My approaches are somewhat eclectic using motivational interviewing to center on specific areas of conflict or distress and applying various modes of cognitive behavioral therapy to help effect change . Areas of Expertise: Stress Management Processing Trauma Grief and Loss The Navigation of sudden change, both personal and professional/vocational Generalized and Specific Anxiety

Jenny Rowe
I have been a licensed behavioral health professional for over 20 years in Maryland. My style is collaborative and holistic with a focus on my client's identified goals and overall health. I treat all ages and respect the challenges that come with each phase of life. Each phase can trigger anxiety, depression, problems with sleep, change in appetite or job performance or satisfaction issues, problems with attention or concentration, all of which I am experienced working with. Therapy can sometimes be a challenge because it requires accountability and openness for change but with the right support it can be a platform for positive self-improvement. Learning coping skills, increasing frustration tolerance, changing perspectives, learning to enjoy life's unpredictability is all part of successful therapy. I look forward to working together to achieve your goals.
