Therapists in Charlotte Hall, MD

I’m here to help you find happiness and inner peace, and build meaningful connections with others. I believe that self awareness and commitment are the foundation of change and essential for healing and growth. I believe that these tools along with collaboration and techniques can help you respond to life and relational stressors in a way you're proud of and live a meaningful life.

I am a proud DC native and a Licensed Mental Health Therapist (LGPC). I specialize in creating a safe space where people can be heard, seen, and validated. My mindset is to help clients listen to their inner voice (thoughts) concerning how they feel (emotions). I have a talent for working with people who struggle to find their voice, understand their path, identify their struggles, and seem lost in who they want to be. I work with a variety of clients from all different backgrounds. I conduct individual, couples, family, and adolescent therapy. I work with clients on various issues to assist them in their healing journey.

You're looking for someone to help you or your loved one through a difficult time...and this is the first step! It is incredibly important to find a therapist that will be a good fit. I can provide a nonjudgmental, caring, and supportive therapeutic environment for you to grow in while we work through the issues that may be causing you, or someone you care about, discomfort or distress.

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.

Are you feeling invisible? Angry about a breakup? Have you recently experienced a loss/death? Do you feel misunderstood? Are you experiencing more pain, burnout, and/or fatigue than normal? Does your adolescent need extra support? Is your family/relationship falling apart? If your answer to any of these questions is "Yes," or even if you have questions of your own, it may be time to reach out and talk through those thoughts and feelings. I would be delighted to be the person you reach out to.

I am an integrative psychotherapist who grounds my practice in trauma-informed, narrative, and critical consciousness frameworks. I have experience and training in mindfulness, trauma-focused CBT, child and adolescent trauma, IFS, and EMDR therapy. I have also completed population-specific trainings relating to gender, sexuality, racism and oppression.  I seek to challenge dominant narratives which negatively impact the ways people come to see themselves, understanding that many mental health challenges are deeply tied to the social, environmental, and political contexts in which they occur.

Individuals looking to manage or eliminate depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, low self-esteem, health challenges, career stress, relationship issues, grief and loss, identity/immigrant experiences and transitions work with me to identify and implement strategies. Through identifying, understanding and evaluating emotional states, thinking and behavior patterns we eliminate and replace unproductive habits with more adaptive patterns toward an increased sense of well-being and ability to thrive and function satisfactorily.

Throughout the course of life we are all faced with adversity, barriers and need guidance in making the right decision. I offer a Holistic Person Centered Therapy approach by blending various theories and modalities. Each therapy session is catered specifically to the individual strengths and weakness. Although we may have similar issues, those issues can affect us in totally different ways. My goal is to use the best therapeutic technique that will best meet my client's individual needs. I want my clients to feel that they matter and that their concerns are my concerns and together I can help them live and enjoy life.

Are you looking for a warm and compassionate teammate to help you navigate a difficult life situation, mental health issue, or painful stressor? If you have reached the point where you realize you can't keep feeling this way, I'm here to listen, help you better define the issue and work with you at your pace to create a solution. I use empathy and humor to help individuals and families recognize their strengths and understand the barriers that may be in the way of change.

Gregory Ingram, LCSW-C, LICSW, CTT, MAC, NBCCH is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia and the State of Maryland. I am also a seasoned trauma therapist, addiction counselor, and family therapist. I have treated patients throughout the united states and abroad. I am well versed in the emotional deprivation found in individuals who have been abused, neglected, and or stripped of their self worth, dignity, and sense emotional well-being.

Each life contains times of transition and uncertainty: some of joy and re-building, some of pain and struggle. Our beliefs about ourselves are often rooted in experiences of mis-attunement (not being seen for who we are) and oppression. Therapy that is attuned to us as individuals provides a pathway to resilience, growth, and healing. In partnership with you, our therapists build an affirming, safe, wholistic, and respectful alliance to use in fostering a stronger sense of your connection with yourself. We believe that each of us can create more meaningful, satisfying relationships with ourselves and others.

I teach the art of connection. Over the past 35 years, as I have studied and treated trauma in various forms and within multiple systems, I have held steadfast to one of many mantras; relationships are the true antidote to trauma. The integrated approach that I utilize may prove effective for those seeking to heal, those seeking to grow and learn, and those seeking to enhance their self, their relationships, their parenting role, or their organization as a whole. I have been recognized as an expert in the field of crisis de-escalation as I have provided more than 10,000 hours of staff development to schools, hospital, and agencies.

Your mental and emotional health is just as important as your physical health and well being. Just as you would see your primary doctor to maintain your physical health, counseling is here to help maintain your emotional health. I provide counseling to help individuals and their loved ones address various life issues including (but not limited to): Family and marital conflicts, Problems in school, Depression, family separation, Adoption issues, Feelings of anxiety or nervousness, child and adolescent behavioral issues and Addiction issues. Weekend sessions are available.

Are you or your child/teen having issues with attention/executive functioning (i.e., time management, organization, task completion)? Having trouble staying focused, being organized, motivated, or often becoming anxious? Struggling to get homework or work tasks completed? Feeling unhappy, overwhelmed, or on edge frequently? If so, I am able to assist by providing therapy, ADHD/executive functioning coaching, and/or assessment services in order to identify difficulties and work collaboratively to help you or your loved one thrive in life.

I work with individuals to become their best selves, drawing upon existential frameworks and humanistic principles. My work explores the intersection of choice and meaning, helping you remain grounded and authentic to yourself and your values. I also work with couples who would like to solve significant issues in their relationships and become closer. I've completed Gottman Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2 training and use it in my work, along with attachment theory in order to help partners more deeply connect with one another.

Welcome everyone. I am excited to meet you. Life can be tough. The everyday demands of school, family and our careers can be overwhelming. There will be times when we just need someone to listen, and there will be times when the adversities of life can leave us in need of developing certain skills to help us cope. We cannot always control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond and look after ourselves. Let's work together, develop a plan for you, and create the life you want!

Finding solutions, achieving goals, discovering strengths, improving relationships - to reach such positive objectives, I use an integrated therapeutic approach that draws upon evidence-based treatment interventions and creative modalities tailored to the unique needs of the individual. With over 20 years of counseling experience, I work with a broad spectrum of clients and client issues: ADHD, anger management, anxiety, adolescent/parent conflicts, family therapy, couples counseling, grief and loss.
