In Person Therapists in Barclay, Baltimore, MD

Sometimes, core parts of who we are fall outside of what is considered normal or acceptable. It can feel impossible to understand yourself. You might feel invisible or wonder if you’re really the problem. You know that hiding these parts of yourself doesn’t feel right and isn’t sustainable. At the same time, you question whether it’s worth all the pain that might come from fully exploring and expressing yourself without hiding your identity, isolating from others, or masking. You may already have a strong sense of your identity and know what would help but feel that it's not accessible or possible.

Life comes in waves. We all have our stressful moments and difficult situations but, at times, our ability to ride the waves falters. Maybe you are noticing that you haven’t been feeling your best recently or even for a long time now. You may be noticing your relationships with others beginning to become strained. Or you may have lost someone important in your life and found yourself struggling to cope. Sometimes it might feel as though you’re alone with your struggles or that people do not truly see you.

There are many moments in life when the authentic you becomes hidden from view. Troubles related to depressive symptoms, trauma, grief, and family can all make it difficult for you to express who you truly are or how you feel. These concerns can hold you back from reaching your goals or receiving the support you deserve.

Committing to therapy can be a difficult, life-changing journey of growth, healing, and self-exploration. Whether working through trauma or deciding on the next move in life, finding an empathic, supportive, welcoming therapist can be an integral part of navigating that journey successfully! It won't be easy... but you will not be alone! We believe in practicing cultural humility as we strive to work with each client to navigate their journey and work towards their goals.

Life moves fast and requires a lot from you. Society expects you to handle the stress, so you push forward despite the weight. In the silent moments, you deal with the conflict within. I welcome you to sit with me and work it out together. My elder taught me you can either progress fast or deep in your life journey, but not both. My intention is to create a safe space to explore your world while learning and practicing practical solutions along the way. I intend to focus on your strengths and build your confidence. During counseling, our work will be goal-directed, cathartic, and spiritually attuned. I hope to speak with you soon.

Please visit www.innocounseling.com/book-online to see my calendar to schedule a 15-minute consultation with me. My ideal client is an adolescent attending high school, whose dealing with emotional issues in their school settings, they're in need of some guidance in determining an appropriate identity and career path. They're seeking vocational guidance from a lack of understanding of the world of work and how their unique abilities and skills fit into it.

Throughout our lives, we often need support in overcoming personal and/or environmental challenges and addressing issues that prevent us from being successful, feeling fulfilled, and living healthy lives. Using a warm, genuine, and empathic approach, I work with clients to build trusting and collaborative relationships that help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experience emotional relief, and feel empowered to make profound change. By creating a safe and accepting environment, we will explore difficult or confusing experiences together with the goal of making sense of difficulties and where they may have originated.
