Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Crumpton, MD

Family therapy is my practice style. I believe it is an honor to provide counseling where trust is developed to find solutions. My counseling is individual, child, adolescent, family, and marital counseling. I accept clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long time to achieve.

People seek therapy for a broad range of reasons, from dealing with anxiety or depression, coping with childhood trauma, managing stress, dealing with major life challenges, or simply wanting to achieve greater self-knowledge and personal growth. Regardless of the reasons, people want therapeutic intervention that is compassionate and non-judgmental. People want a provider who actively listens, appreciates a person's right to self-determination, and understands the importance of collaboration throughout the treatment process. Therapy is not about fixing what is broken, but about healing that which has been bruised and scarred.

Here at Discovering Serenity we view therapy as a partnership where therapist and client are working together to accomplish client driven goals. I like to describe it to the client as they are driving the ship and we are here to help them guide it in the direction they want it to go. We are here to help.
