Female Therapists in Hyattsville, MD

Hi there! My name is Kim Wilson. I want to thank you in advance for taking the time to view my profile as you consider who you will choose to support you on your path toward growth and healing.

With that in mind I approach our time together with humility, compassion and non-judgement. My sincere hope is that we can collaborate to together to help you accomplish your therapeutic goals. I am very passionate about providing culturally intentional therapy to those from BIPOC populations.

Hi, I'm Erica and I am so glad that you made it here. My clients describe me as warm and approachable. As is such, my therapeutic style is person-centered, and rooted in IFS and relational psychotherapy. My specialty is working with those in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. I have found this life stage to be most unpredictable, making it an opportune time for mental health support. Whether it's depression, anxiety, relationship or job stress, we will dive in to explore the root of your pain in order to bring you relief.

As a woman with varied life experiences common to many women, I bring a deep empathy and understanding to my practice.

My mission as a therapist is to create a completely non-judgmental, loving container in which your transformation unfolds. I believe that all mental—and many physical—health “symptoms” are all parts of us with good intentions, calling frantically for our loving attention. I believe in healing, not coping. We are so much more than a diagnosis and a bundle of symptoms; we are so much more than our pain and trauma. I believe that in each of us resides a marvelous, pure, all-loving essence that is the home base of our healing. My role, as the therapist, is to simply guide you there.

I find that many people have dealt with so much trauma and disappointment in life that they begin to feel powerless. I know it can all feel like too much at times. The way out isn’t necessarily to fix all the problems in your life, but to learn how to respond differently to them, as your capable, beautiful self. You might wonder what your life purpose really is, or feel as if you’re stuck in the same cycle. Many of my clients have described feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending pressures of life. It might seem that no matter what you do, you can’t get ahead.

When life becomes challenging or your hope is dwindling I inviteyou to a safe place where you can explore your emotions and behaviors. Here you will receive developmentally and culturally appropriate treatment that will empower you to address life challenges and enrich your life.

“Be gentle with yourself”! That is my motto, as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. Life circumstances can happen that are completely out of our control, and helping clients develop the tools to handle adversities in life is my passion.

The shame in therapy must the removed!

It’s not just that you don’t rock the boat, it’s that you steady the boat while it's being rocked. And you are nothing if not determined. So, why that unsettled buzz & flutter in bed? You know... the combo of mild nausea and critical thoughts on loop while sleep escapes you? The truth is, steadying the boat gives you a perception of control. A sense that everything will be okay if you can just keep up the façade of okay. It's familiar, comfortable. But these days the exhaustion is bone deep. At this point you have tried everything from meditation to medication to basic talk therapy filled with homework and more pressure to preform.

You’ve accomplished so much. You have a fulfilling career, good friends, a comfortable income and lovely home. By all appearances things are great, and you feel completely in control in most areas of your life. But relationships are a different story.. they either don't stick or never take off, and they all seem to follow the same pattern - the initial hope and excitement of seeing someone new gives way to doubt, and once you get that sinking feeling, it all unravels from there. You see friends and coworkers getting married and starting families and wonder why it’s so easy for them. "What's wrong with me?"

Have you tried traditional talk therapy approaches, but don't feel like they went far enough or helped you get to the roots of your pain? Are you having a hard time in relationships or letting go of difficult childhood experiences? Do you struggle with perfectionism or self sacrificing, always feeling like you're letting yourself and others down? Do you struggle to feel worthy or good enough? I would love to provide a compassionate, creative, and holistic space for you to truly heal and move through these painful life experiences.

Kerri utilizes a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Strength Based Approach with her clients. Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking and its effects on how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. This type of therapy assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.

When OCD, depression, and anxiety get in the way of living fully, I help clients reclaim their lives and get unstuck. Clients that work with me are reflective, curious, and intentional about personal growth. Sometimes, clients aren't sure how to name the challenges they're experiencing, and they just have a hunch that life doesn't have to be as hard as it is now. That's okay! You don't need a diagnosis or the perfect description of your symptoms to start counseling. I understand that disorders show up in diverse ways, and I take time to listen to my clients so that treatment can be responsive to their unique needs.

Engaging in self-care is one of the most powerful choices we can make in our lives. Taking care of our mental health is one essential aspect of self-care. Choosing to address emotional pain can feel daunting. Ever imagine it could also feel rewarding? Psychotherapy can provide a unique opportunity to foster growth, compassion, and self-acceptance. As a clinical psychologist, my goal is to guide you on your personal journey, and help you embrace your most authentic self so you can live a life that’s meaningful to you and take value-based actions.
