Anger Management Therapists in North Laurel, MD

For my Mental Health Clinicians. It's time to prioritize your mental health and well-being. I know first hand, the challenges of pouring into yourself when you are used to pouring into others, however you deserve the same level of care and compassion that you selflessly offer to others. In our relentless pursuit of aiding others, we often neglect our own well-being, struggling silently with the weight of our responsibilities. As a therapist specializing in serving other clinicians, I offer a safe space for healing, where you can unpack your burdens, process your emotions, and rejuvenate your spirit.

Hello! My name is Bridget Butts, LCSW-C, SAP and it will be an honor to work with you. I believe that therapy is a place to feel known and understood. It is also a place to overcome painful experiences. I am committed to working attentively and gently with your life story and issues, while understanding the beauty and the brokenness in your unique story. Whether you are struggling with short-term or lifelong challenges, we will find ways to address them. Each of us deserves to know what it feels like to be supported during life's challenges, and that is what I am offering to you.

Life is hard. We all have unique challenges to face, and sometimes to overcome our challenges we need the helping hand of another. While reaching out for help can feel overwhelming in itself, it is well worth the effort. We all deserve to reach our highest potential and live our best lives. Counseling can help you do just that.

I am a mental health therapist and relationship specialist with over twenty years of experience in counseling, mentoring, and Christian counseling. As a therapist, I believe in living life purposefully but also understand that mental and emotional distress can be a barrier to healthy living. I work with individuals, couples, and families who need emotional support and practical tools to navigate challenges that create emotional distress and dysfunction in their personal, relational, and professional relationships.

I am accepting new clients for immediate openings. I specialize in working with women who are feeling stressed out, burned out, hopeless, or overwhelmed; dealing with or recovering from an unhealthy relationship; need help managing adult ADHD; and/or dealing with other life challenges. You don’t have to figure it out alone, I will help you to gain the tools necessary to live the life that you desire. Sometimes just talking with someone, in a non-judgmental setting, can help you begin to release the heaviness and frustration that you might be experiencing.

Do you feel stuck in your life? Feeling sad or worried? Do feel like its hard to see your way through? I understand and I have been there. Let's develop a partnership where we can work together to meet your goals. I am dedicated to seeing a world that does not stigmatize mental health wellness. My ideal client partnership is a person who has taken this monumental step to live their best life. I am excited that you have chosen to move in this positive direction and I am ready to support you as you reach your goals.

We are all going through stressful times in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. I will be available in the office or phone zoom for new and existing clients. I take all insurances and eaps . I help people of all ages (individuals & couples) with anxiety and depression. My clients have told me that I provide a relaxed and caring atmosphere. I understand that it can be a difficult step to come to therapy; I will help you feel comfortable. I provide a free consultation (no co-pay for your first meeting with me). I will work closely with you to set goals so you can start feeling better quickly. I also work with children and teens.

My primary specialty is helping people struggling with gambling related issues. With the rapid expansion of the gambling industry and accessibility, more and more find it hard to control this behavior. Generally, I use a combination of traditional cognitive behavioral techniques with strategies to improve motivation, set goals, and increase acknowledgement and acceptance that the treatment goals are attainable. Change is possible. It takes work, and I would be honored to help you in this journey.

Life can be challenging and down right unpredictable; there are situations or feelings that can be difficult to manage independently. At times, it can be beneficial to get assistance with maintaining your path to growth and success. My goal is to assist average people with making a positive transition through developing a therapeutic non-judgmental relationship.

You feel like your anxiety is getting the best of you and feel like you no longer have control over your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. You are noticing that even when you try to take a break and focus on yourself, that your breath catches in your chest and then you feel it…the anxiety. You have a difficult time sleeping at night because you worry about the course of events that took place that day and the laundry list of things you have to do tomorrow. Worries such as: “Did I make a mistake at work?” “What did that person think of me?” “Am I being a good Partner/Parent/Friend” swirl like a tornado in your mind.

I believe that each individual is a unique being and that throughout different times in our lives we may feel uncomfortable. This feeling is our mind and body’s way of telling us that growth is within our reach. There are some essential necessities that we all need to feel safe, but once those are met, we can all learn to grow in new ways. If you can trust me in the safe space that we will create together, I will do my best to provide you with the guidance you need. I am flexible in my approach, adjusting to meet you where you at so growth is obtainable and achievable.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, assisting them in finding purpose by identifying negative systems and patterns in their lives, and collaboratively creating new, empowering ones. I believe in making the therapeutic journey engaging and enjoyable, providing a platform where individuals can explore, grow, and ultimately find healing.

Although most people will experience anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem and relationship issues at some point in their life, some issues affect women differently and thus they need a different approach. Women deal with many unique issues like carrying the emotional burden in relationships, having different standards of physical beauty, being discriminated against at work, struggling with fertility issues, and experiencing intersectional racism. Women are often told to "deal with it" or that they are being too emotional, but I am here to tell you that your feelings are completely valid!
