Therapists in Cecilton, MD

***EMAIL FOR A QUICKER RESPONSE***I believe all of us go through challenges and emotional pain throughout our lives that require non-judgmental insights to guide us through the healing process. We begin to manage our challenges and emotional pain in a healthier way by approaching them with curiosity and compassion rather than judgement and criticism. As a therapist, I am passionate about facilitating change with my clients by providing psychoeducation on psychological and emotional issues and a safe space for them to explore and understand their challenges.

I’m an NIH-trained Clinical Health Psychologist who specializes in adolescents and adults experiencing chronic and acute illness or pain as well as caregivers of loved ones with medical conditions. I am the Supervising Psychologist and Director at the National Center for Health Psychology. In therapy, my approach is collaborative and experiential, aiming to help individuals break free from the grip of pain, empowering them to embrace meaning and vitality in their lives.

I enjoy working with individuals who seek to live happier, healthier lives and recognize that change can only happen by trying something new. Each of us has the power to create better lives for ourselves simply by changing the way we relate to ourselves. Many people never learned as children how to cope with stress and negative emotion. But this is a skill that can be learned in adulthood and that can pave the way for greater happiness throughout our lives. The ultimate goal is to prioritize your well-being and care for yourself by noticing and responding to your thoughts and feelings with compassion and validation.

We are a client-oriented counseling (traditional, modern, holistic, and spiritual), coaching, and medication management practice. We put our clients' well-being first and together we work on and identify what solutions will work best for them, their lifestyle, and their healing proces/ change journey.

Hello! Youve just taken the 1st step towards improving your life; looking for help! I know it's not easy to begin therapy.

Life is ever evolving and for many, change and transition can be very difficult. My approach to therapy is to meet a client where they are at and help them work towards their goals and higher self. I use this approach primarily with those who have experienced sexual trauma and interpersonal violence; as well as those who identify as part of the queer/LGBTQIA community. I also work with adolescents/teens and young adults on a wide range of issues including ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, and grief.

What I think is important for you to know about my approach is that I genuinely care for you; and have a desire to see you thrive. I am invested in understanding you; in helping you to see your authentic self; and to love that self without ceasing. Growth is a hard process; it’s a scary process, but it is valuable. I want to help you experience a life inspired by possibility. So often, we choose based on fear and expectation; not even knowing that is our pattern.

My name is Dr. Shaqueal Stevens, LCSW-C, and I am pleased to guide you and your child in the therapeutic process. Children experience various life changes that are sometimes hard for them to understand and work through. They may have difficulty identifying or expressing their feelings about life changes, such as divorce or separation, death, or going to a new school. They may have challenges with attention or focus, following instructions to complete tasks, or making friends. All of these experiences are very real, important and impactful in a child's life. I'm here to help your child reach individualized goals we set together.

My mission is to provide the highest quality and compassionate behavior health care to our clients, families and people in need through a comprehensive arrangement of services and effective clinical care. If you have found yourself feeling down lately and nothing seems to be going your way, making it difficult to lift your spirits, It might be time to seek help from a licensed professional. My Individual Therapy sessions help clients develop positive attitudes towards life’s most complex and challenging circumstances. All sessions are tailored to client's individual needs.

I offer individual and group therapy, virtually and in-person, for grief and loss, anxiety and depression, life transitions, and spiritual issues ranging from the existential life journey to cult awareness and recovery. We all need support through the inevitable challenges of human life, and being able to talk with a counselor in a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental setting is essential to healing and strengthening our mental and physical well-being.

Loneliness and anxiety are pervasive in our society today. Many of us feel overwhelmed with the stressors of daily life and that overwhelm is compounded by depression, anxiety, past trauma, abuse, or current marital and parenting difficulties. We long to not feel alone anymore and to talk with someone who can understand and help.
