Addiction Therapists in Frederick, MD

Are you ready to make the changes you have always wanted, and finally focus on your happiness, health, and wellness? I would like to congratulate you on taking the hardest first step in this process. My clients are children, teens, adults, and couples that are looking to make positive changes in their life, and I'm here to assist and be a guide in this process. My approach is using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in identifying their triggers, reframing their negative thoughts, and using positive psychology to begin a new way of thinking and living.

Hi, I'm Joseph ("Yosie") Friedman, and I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University in the Bronx, New York. My journey into clinical psychology is fueled by a deep compassion and a passion for empowering others. I am dedicated to providing holistic and evidence-based treatments in a patient-centered manner, ensuring you receive the care and support you need. I work closely with my clients to understand the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

No matter where you are in life, challenging moments arise and can become overwhelming and emotionally draining. Past trauma, fears, worries, loss, and constant stress can also make daily functioning difficult. Through a holistic approach to therapy, I use mindfulness, communication, and collaboration to focus on physical, emotional, social, and overall well-being. I offer individualized care to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, trauma, and other mental health, social or emotional difficulties.

I am here to help you and to listen. We can work together to better understand the challenges in your life. Through talking, things will get better. Today, you are one step closer to a new you where you can feel empowered and go on that positive path to growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal is to help you lead a life that is worth celebrating. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

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.

I help clients that suffer from anxiety, depression, attachment failures, and trauma to become empowered, overcome their distress, and to heal, to live happy and fulfilling lives. Sometimes our past experiences can leave us with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and many other issues. I specialize in helping people to uncover how their past experiences are affecting their present lives, so that they can develop the tools and skills to overcome their challenges, transform their lives, and experience lasting relief.

Are you feeling stuck in life? I can help you through compassionate therapy. We can work together to get you going again on your journey with tools to prepare you for life's challenges. I am licensed in South Dakota and Maryland.

I provide services for clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I offer a professional relationship with my clients to assist them in exploring and resolving difficult issues. 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. While some clients may need only a few counseling sessions to feel complete, others may require months. I offer a caring, empathic space to explore, heal and to try new ways of being.

I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.

Are you stuck in unhelpful mind or behavior patterns, difficult times in a relationship or stressed in a way that is affecting all of the above? I believe that we all possess the resources to experience ourselves "new and improved" and move toward being the best that we can be. We know what has worked for us and what hasn't. Finding ways to make lasting changes and experience relief that is tailored to who YOU are, is my commitment to you. It will be an exciting journey into self-discovery, relief of unwanted symptoms and new confidence.

Welcome! In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I take a collaborative approach with my clients to help best meet their own unique needs. Clients have described me as warm, engaging, and compassionate - with an ability to quickly put them at ease. Before going into private practice, I worked with a wide array of clients at various agencies including outpatient mental health clinics, county counseling programs, and an agency with its foundation in the expressive arts. I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and another Masters in Theatre Education. I enjoy finding creative solutions to problems.

Ideally, I try to create a comfortable environment so that the client can feel a connection. I realize that one of the hardest things to do as a person, is to admit that you need to talk a problem through with someone outside of your circle of family and friends. When meeting with the client, I try to distinguish where they are and go above and beyond to make the therapeutic process a success.

Every stage in life, every situation we face, brings with it challenges, hardships and opportunities. The psychotherapeutic process brings focus and awareness to where we are now in our lives, where we've been, and the person we want to be. I see the therapeutic process as a journey that we take together. Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or family, my goal is to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can explore relationship dynamics, patterns of behavior, identity, and opportunities for growth and change.

I've been there. Trying to find the right therapist and questioning if I have the courage to do this, or if I even really need a counselor. Maybe you are trying to find the right fit, maybe you are questioning if it is worth it. You got this! My goals are to help you find your power and courage to know that you can do difficult things. I work with clients who are motivated, and willing to keep going despite the challenges. I work with individuals, couples, and groups and my style is open, encouraging, compassionate, challenging, and fun. Lets find your courage!

Hello, I'm Leana! My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself possible. If your personal struggles are negatively effecting your life, I would like to work with you to better understand them and help you learn how best to deal with them.

I work primarily with couples, though individuals can also benefit even without a current or willing partner or to work on their experience within other relationships. Together, we shift relational dynamics to support the development of their most authentic and connected selves. I am dedicated to creating a welcoming space for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, spiritual and religious experiences, and relational styles to feel comfortable and accepted. I value authenticity, growth, presence, and learning from and with each other in our diverse life experiences.
