Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Hagerstown, MD

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.

Therapy is an incredibly vulnerable process that involves stripping down the emotional armor we have collected over years of struggle, insecurity, or fear. For some the idea of therapy feels like the sweetest release and for others this idea feels incredibly intimidating. Often times, individuals present for their first sessions after an acute stressor, a period of prolonged distress, or even a previously failed treatment. Regardless of the precipitating factor, people often enter therapy when they feel hurt and alone. Many come with bruised hearts and tired souls, uncertain of what their struggles mean about their ability to heal.

At Outreach Recovery, we are passionate about providing a helping hand to those struggling with mental health issues. Our comprehensive treatment plans are designed to cater to each individual's unique needs with compassion, respect, and the highest standard of care. Our programs include personalized therapy, medication management, and holistic approaches to healing, aiding individuals to combat and overcome various mental health disorders. Our dedicated team of professionals offers a highly effective, evidence-based approach to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions.

Life is hard. It is even harder when we try to go it alone and/or feel we have no other option. Although it's scary to meet and share about things that have often been buried for what feels like forever (or actually has been), change comes when being 'miserably comfortable' is no longer an option. My ideal clients are individuals who are motivated to create change by doing the hard work of looking within to create the lives they truly desire.

Our providers are experienced in a broad range of mental health issues and use a variety of therapeutic approaches to compliment the unique needs of each individual. We believe that health comes from treating the whole person. Therefore, we seek to integrate emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions into the healing process. Our providers will tailor treatment to help meet your specific needs and not to a specific theoretical approach. Our providers will help guide you through the exploration of values, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings to promote increased awareness of self and greater sense of well-being.

As the Clinical Director at A Brighter Tomorrow Counseling, I desire to help individuals and families discover solutions for the challenges they face. Whether dealing with relationship problems, depression, anxiety or other mental health issues, your treatment will be individualized to help you work toward restoration of mental health, improved relationships and spiritual growth. Our therapists operate from a Christian perspective, and serve people of all faiths and denominations. We always honor the personal beliefs of every client and all clients choose IF and how they would like to incorporate their personal faith in their treatment.

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet expecting different results. Ironically, someone living with chronic stress uses the same strategy. Hoping their "I'll get through this somehow" attitude will make the stress go away. Symptoms such as anxiety and depression, trouble sleeping, growing impatience and anger with others, trouble concentrating and making decisions, secretly feeling bad about oneself, guilty and resentful are all indicators one is out of balance. Let me help you remove this distress before it results in health issues. I have years of successful experience teaching clients powerful interventions to transform stress into personal empowerment.

Things have a way of not working out the way they we thought they would. The stories of our lives begin in the families we are given with all of their foibles and experiences. Pages that become chapters of pain, trauma or loss can engulf the one that feels trapped in the narrative. After a plot twist of epic proportions, I left a 16-year career in the intelligence community and began a new chapter. I’ve had to confront the sources, rewrite the narrative, consult the author and find myself in the pages. The refinement process can be a horrific one but in the truth, freedom is found. Together, we can find healing.

Have you experienced trauma? Do you worry excessively? Are you depressed? Has a loved one died and the loss is too much to handle? Do you avoid people & places because you're afraid? Are you dealing with issues around your sexuality & gender? Do you sense that something's "just not right" with your world, but you cannot put your finger on it? *If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, maybe it's time to try therapy?

I work with clients suffering from CPTSD, depression or anxiety. My focus is on helping people process and move through old issues by eliminating the emotions attached to those events by using EFT or Energy Psychology which I've been using for 22 years. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience and that you should look forward to that healing process. I also use hypnosis for numerous issues.

Are you anxious in relationships? Do you fear disapproval and/or lack motivation? I get it! I enjoy facilitating client change by first identifying the fixed thoughts and assumptions that interfere with fulfillment. Life is challenging, and what we say to ourselves can make coping difficult. Childhood experiences powerfully impact our self-statements, so you won't leave our sessions without exploring your youth - - who loved you, who didn't, and how you now cope and react. Finding personal meaning is also so important! My approaches are tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual or couple, as collaboration is essential.

Welcome to our therapeutic journey! At the heart of our work together lies a nurturing environment steeped in evidence-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). Just as in sports, where mastering the fundamentals is key to success, we delve into the core principles of therapy to cultivate a transformative experience. Have you ever wondered how therapy works? Or why it works? And what to do when it doesn’t seem to? These questions are common, and our approach addresses them head-on. In CBT, one of our fundamental concepts revolves around empowering you to become your own therapist.

When your body is in distress, your mind and mood suffer. Whether you want to address your weight, pain, disordered eating, stress, living with a chronic disease, recovering from an illness, or adjusting to a new medical condition, I can help. I also support care partners of those with chronic illness. As a board-certified rehabilitation psychologist, I emphasize a holistic approach to well-being and support people in leading a values-filled life that recognizes personal strengths, reduces shame and promotes self-compassion, encourages collaboration, and meets you where you are non-judgmentally.

Hey there! My name is Garrett and I am a therapist but also a mirror. I help clients examine how their learned negative thought patterns create their life outcomes and perspectives. I utilize a combination of CBT and solution-based modalities to help clients understand themselves and make changes for the better. Our sessions together will be a collaborative non judgmental space for you to work through your healing journey! My goal is for you to build the confidence and resilience needed to handle life’s ups and downs. I look forward to meeting you.

I believe that everyone can get stuck or lost. Sometimes we can get unstuck by connecting with someone who is compassionate, non-judgmental and objective. I have spent over 25 years in behavioral health, helping people discover and become their "best" and healthy selves. Present problems, past hurts or even diagnoses don't have to take over our lives. Problems can be solved, hurts transformed, diagnoses understood and skills can be learned. A wise person once told me, "As long as you are alive, there is hope." I believe that and offer you the opportunity to find a new way.
