Humanistic Therapists in Middle River, MD
My approach to therapy is a humanistic one.
Putting yourself first can be one of the most difficult things one can do. If you have found yourself here, that means you have made a decision to invest in your well-being as a whole; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Facing struggles in life can be scary for everyone! I believe that with the right tools and a deeper understanding of oneself, we can all move through life with more compassion for ourselves and others.

My treatment approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and relational, integrating principles of ACT, humanistic psychology, CBT, and mindfulness.
We all struggle, and it’s normal to want to avoid difficult feelings. However, learning to be with and understand, even our most dreaded emotions, is a necessary step towards healing and growth. This isn’t something you have to do alone and having someone outside of your personal circle to support, validate, and understand your experience can be invaluable. I am experienced in working with individuals struggling with various mental health concerns but am less interested in the label and most concerned with understanding your experience in order to pinpoint root causes of what is causing discomfort.

How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more.
