Johns Hopkins Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Being able to provide good therapy requires that the therapist has a strong knowledge base and a good set of skills. My education and training and 30 years of experience in the field are central to my ability to help you. I have degrees from Harvard University and University of Michigan. I also have experience with Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and training in family and couples therapy through the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic. In addition, I completed a Fellowship at the Baltimore-Washington Psychoanalytic Institute.

Whether you are looking to make changes in your life, working on self-discovery, or processing challenging life events, you deserve to feel connected and supported. As a therapist I strive to create a safe space to unpack the past, understand the present and, create goals that support your vision of the future. I use a trauma focused, strengths-based approach to support you in building skills and empower you toward healing.

We have the ability to reinvent ourselves at any given moment. In psychotherapy, that possibility is truly there, yet is something that takes work, and a well-nurtured belief in yourself. I’ve dedicated myself to understanding what it is to be human and to effectively treat emotional distress. And, I’ve seen a range of the difficulties people deal with in my work, but it seems that most folks are simply seeking authentic meaning and connection in some way, shape or form. It is an honor and privilege to do that work, building a vision of what true connection and meaning looks like for you, and how to bring that about, together.

Johanna brings over 15 years of experience in the mental health field to Balance Point Wellness, LLC. She helps children, adolescents, and adults achieve their personal goals through a delicate balance of acceptance and change.

Between the uncertainty in the world, significant life changes, and the everyday stress of “just making it” we all need additional support and care. The demands of just maintaining our lives have increased, while for many, our emotional, social, and financial resources have decreased. Our own stress, depression, and anxiety can be too much to bear. We will assist you by providing space for you to prioritize your unique needs, identifying your strengths and challenges, collaboratively developing a treatment plan, and guiding you through making positive, concrete changes in your life. Our goal is a healthier, more empowered YOU!

I believe that each person is the expert of their own experience. Through a person-centered lens of compassion and resilience-focused approaches, we will build insight to gain a better understanding of your past and present experiences and how these impact your relationships, behaviors, beliefs, and quality of life.

Counseling is a collaborative process. In my private practice I work with adolescents, young adults and adults. I believe in an empathetic, non judgmental approach to helping clients understand their behaviors and patterns. I specialize in working with clients using a somatic approach to heal from past traumas and feel present and restored.

I have provided therapy to a diverse population of individuals in a variety of professional work settings as a licensed psychologist for over 10 years. Currently, I am offering online mental health therapy to help individuals work toward and achieve personal goals. I work with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, or feeling like they are in a stuck point in their life. I understand creating significant change can be difficult without having some initial support and guidance. I believe practicing new coping strategies until they become established in your life is important to increasing well-being.

I believe mental health care should be viewed just like physical health care, something we all need but in different ways at different times – sometimes an emergency needing acute care or maybe specific ailment, other times you just need a check-up and to check in.

Are you a young adult experiencing anxiety, depression, or OCD? Life after high school, during college, and after college can be stressful and high pressure, as are the huge decisions that come with it. I call these “life transitions” and they can often exacerbate mood symptoms and open up old wounds. Has the COVID pandemic or a recent health concern exacerbated anxiety and obsessive thinking about health issues? We can work together to find ways to make peace with normal body sensations and find ways to feel more calm about things that are out of your control. Or, perhaps you'll stare directly in the sun but never in the mirror :)

It's very common to experience stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma symptoms from life experiences. People of all ages go through transitions, and some can be very challenging. There are alternative ways to manage your feelings and develop healthier thinking patterns. I commend you for taking the first step to seek counseling.

Deepak Chopra, in The Healing Self says, "The dividing line between what happens automatically and what happens voluntarily isn’t fixed. Choices matter, and thus the healing self comes into play. On its own the body knows how to survive; it’s up to us to teach it how to thrive.” Welcome to your life! It's yours for the choosing, the healing, the awareness building, the perception changing, and the whole self loving. I can be a grounded guide in this journey. I love helping caregivers, students, and helping professionals by nurturing relationship with their inner wisdom to build stress resilence, strength, and peace.

Hi, I’m Soraya. I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can explore your mind, gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and embark toward the quest of optimal well-being. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues, and life transitions. I view therapy from a diverse and multicultural lens while using CBT framework, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused orientation with openness to tailor treatment to my clients needs.

Sometimes it feels like we are not making progress toward our life objectives, or sometimes like the coping skills that once worked are no longer working. Maybe you are experiencing challenges with self-esteem which are getting in the way of positive change. Maybe you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to a transition in your life. I will provide a safe, affirming place, free of judgment or criticism, where together we can help you connect with your thoughts, feelings, and behavior in relation to yourself and others.

Not currently able to accept new clients. I firmly believe in holistic wellness and cater my practice towards helping my clients to achieve their goals. Therapy is only effective when it meets your needs and caters towards you as your own unique self. Therapy is also an expenditure when it comes to time, money and energy. I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure you receive the quality care you deserve. When we combine our strengths, we can create a well-balanced therapeutic relationship.

I get it! Your resources are stretched thin. You're in need of a break but it's seemingly not an option! Just when you are finally about to tackle one task, something else pulls for your attention. You're feeling worn out, unseen and resentful. For some, considering therapy brings up worries about inadequacy, fear of judgement, or worse...that it means you're crazy! Because I'm professional, I'll say, "That's non-sense!" Once we know each other a bit better, I'll use a more casual and colorful phrase. But regardless of how I word it, my overall philosophy is that you're human, you're NOT crazy, and above all, you're resilient!

Stress is at all time highs. Anxiety, depression and adjusting to stress are on the rise in a difficult world. It is important to know how to cope in this complex world. With the support of therapy, one can find relief, answers and solutions to difficult life situations. In practice since 1991 working with diverse populations with experience in Private Practice, Clinic Practice, Crisis Intervention, Consultation and Liaison in Hospital settings and Private Nonprofits has given me experiences with a variety of circumstances people encounter.
