Therapists in Riverside, Baltimore, MD

As a licensed psychologist, it is my privilege to assist couples and individuals who are struggling with transitions in their lives, are having relationship difficulties, or are coping with a mental illness. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment for you to explore your concerns, gain new insights, and learn new coping skills. I help individuals and couples live happier and healthier lives by understanding the roots of their behaviors, making necessary changes, and learning to accept things that cannot be changed.

Thank you for visiting my page. I'm currently licensed in Maryland and District of Columbia. I'm eager to collaborate with you in identifying areas of concern and finding effective solutions. As a client-centered therapist, I believe in empowering clients to lead the process of change and recognizing their strengths and barriers in their own lives. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, focusing on mental health and substance abuse issues, while also addressing cultural and social influences on progress.

How do you define “being well?” For us, true wellness is about finding the way back to authenticity and deep connection in a world that can often leave us feeling isolated and raw. Undertaking a healing journey is no small feat, and it can be helpful to have some company. Whether you are looking for coping skills, greater clarity, or simple peace and rest, we can help. We are glad you landed here.

In therapy sessions, I work with clients to help teach the skills needed to manage, squash, or move on from anxious or intrusive thoughts now and long after we end our time together. You will learn how to become “your own therapist” by learning how to spot anxious or intrusive thoughts and learning EXACTLY what to do, proactively and in-the-moment, to stop them from taking over and keeping you from enjoying life. Clients, of all ages, most often come to me to for difficulties related to OCD, anxiety, phobias, panic, and parent management/support for parents whose kids have ADHD or OCD, and perinatal/postpartum anxiety/OCD.

Hello and welcome! Life can be overwhelming and scary sometimes and that's why it's beneficial to have a support system in place for when things get tough. I think it's beautiful and powerful to seek help, and searching for a therapist is a big step. I believe you have the ability to overcome your obstacles and I can be there to assist you in the process. I am a mixed-race, cisgender, lesbian woman who is passionate about social justice, particularly around the LGBTQ+ community. I know what adversity feels like and would love to provide a listening ear to your unique experiences.

Currently accepting clients. EVENING and WEEKEND appointments available. Do you feel like anxiety is taking control of your life? Is panic becoming a part of your day to day life? Do you desire work/life balance but feel it is out of your reach? Do you put so much into your relationships and feel like you don't get anything out of them?

I provide psychotherapy to individuals and couples dealing with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship issues. I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from treatments that are backed by science, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Additionally, I work from a cultural perspective, which means bringing attention to how your background and identities impact your relationship with yourself and others.

I love working with both individuals & couples- mostly millennials & genZers, adults (18-60), teens (15+). My ideal client is curious to dig deep, wants to raise self-awareness, and is ready to sift through the pieces of life's puzzle together. I enjoy helping fellow artists/creatives, neurodivergent folks, & LGBTQIA+ folks. I specialize in issues related to low self-esteem, perfectionism, adulting, burnout, imposter syndrome, communication issues, relationships, boundary setting, gender identity and exploration, women's issues, chronic illness, invisible disabilities, ADHD and HSPs.

Clients choose me as a therapist because they want to overcome feelings of anxiety and shame, build confidence and self-compassion, feel more comfortable with themselves, and function more effectively. After working with me, clients have a toolbox of strategies to cope with urges and behaviors they want to change; understand more about themselves, their emotions, and their behaviors; are able to do things they used to avoid; and can reclaim their time and mental energy from body-focused repetitive behaviors, anxiety, and OCD.

I work supportively and collaboratively with my clients to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that allows us to work towards your goals together. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, school challenges, family conflict, life transitions, disordered eating, grief and loss, substance abuse, sports performance concerns, personality disorders, and severe mental illness.

I enjoy assisting clients in navigating through their own wellness journey. My hope is to encourage you to find the path that is right for you. I like to think of my therapeutic approach as accompanying you through whatever challenges or obstacles you may be facing.

Feedback I got recently: "You made me feel supported, heard and seen. There were things only you understood because you truly value and understand mental health and I think everyone could use an outlet like that." Coming to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you, or you failed because you couldn't "fix it" yourself. Therapy is more than fixing problems. It's more about connecting the "WHAT" of your life to the "HOW" of feeling better. WHY? To feel content and satisfied, and learning how to make that sustainable. Your well being matters; how you feel when you wake up affects the quality of your life and relationships.

Marielle has experience seeing clients with a wide range of mental health challenges including difficulty regulating emotions, stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and difficulty within relationships. She has a strong passion for working with individuals who are struggling to cope with different life transitions, experiencing low self-esteem, and turmoil in their relationships. Her goal is to help individuals identify and change problematic thoughts and behaviors while using acceptance strategies to validate their past and present emotional experiences.

Early experiences shape our beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world at large. Having trained to work with both children and adults, I offer a greater awareness of how these experiences have impacted people throughout their lifetimes, and how they continue to influence relationships, mood, and functioning into adulthood. At times, we all experience feeling "stuck" due to these long-held beliefs and expectations. I provide support and guidance while you learn about yourself, and where these "stuck" places have originated, so that you can move forward with greater self-awareness and self-compassion.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with worries, sadness, relationship difficulties, or feel "stuck" in some way. My primary focus areas are anxiety, depression, ADHD and trauma, using a combination of cognitive behavioral and integrative practices. I draw from modalities such as Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing. This integrative approach to mental health allows me to tailor the experience to your unique needs.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxious thoughts? Are the trials of everyday life trapping you in a cycle of depression? Maybe you are having a hard time processing a traumatic event that has happened to you? You are not alone, and you do not have to continue struggling. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive atmosphere that allows you to express yourself openly and freely. As a client of mine, I will help you work through whatever it is you are currently experiencing and help you work towards a happier tomorrow.
