I have over 30 years' experience in the profession working in a variety of venues, including mental health and medical facilities, community agencies and employee assistance programs. I cannot imagine another career for myself. My experience includes working with: ADHD Adoption Anxiety Disorders Bipolar Disorder Christian-Focused Treatment (upon request) Chronic Mental Illness Chronic Pain/Chronic Medical Illnesses Depression Empowerment Theory Individual Subjected to Domestic Violence Individuals with Differing Abilities Life Transitions (Adolescence to adulthood, retirement, transfers due to work or military assignments) Mental Health and Substance Use Mindfulness Pregnancy Loss Schizophrenia and Related Disorders Task-Centered Therapy Trauma Work-Related Conflict I strive to be empathetic and encouraging in my work with clients. My primary training has been cognitive-behavioral, but also includes dialectical-behavioral, strengths-based, task-centered, and empowerment frameworks and use of Mindfulness. I get a great deal of satisfaction knowing that I helped foster growth in a way that makes a client feel safe, at peace and more fulfilled in life. It is easy to feel like a failure when things don't go as you expect. It takes courage to accept the help of others. I reinforce to my clients that reaching their goals takes time, planning and patience. I'm there to provide guidance and support to help achieve their specific goals.

Samuel Woldemichael
My name is Samuel and I have deep respect and admiration for any person willing to seek improvement in a therapeutic environment. I was born in Ethiopia, raised in Maryland. I have worked as a counselor/therapist since 2004 and have had great success working with people to improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is to treat each person as a unique individual with potential to improve emotional health. Oftentimes, emotional injuries such as abandonment, betrayal, injustice, rejection, humiliation and loss can cause long term damage, preventing us from experiencing peace of mind or joy. Similar to physical injuries, emotional injuries can heal if treated with the proper amount of care and nurture. Therapy is a tool to learn how to heal emotional injuries, and trauma, in order to have the strength to strive towards our ultimate potential. Depression, anxiety, anger and many other symptoms are often the byproduct of unresolved emotional injuries. Also, therapy is able to increase self-awareness in order to form better relationships with loved ones and stop a cycle of despair and self-destructive behavior. I wish you the best in your journey towards wellbeing.
