Attachment-based Therapists in Parkville, MD

My Name Is Roxane Blanchard Johnson. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor; licensed in the state of Maryland MD LCPC. I have over 18 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I am a trauma-informed therapist and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, Trauma, Adults with Childhood Abuse, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma and emotional abuse.

I believe prioritizing mental health is essential to our well-being and I have a true passion for helping others feel validated, accepted, and supported on this journey. Are you seeking peace from anxiety, relationship struggles, difficulties with life transitions, low self-esteem, body image or other life challenges?

I am a new solo mother , private practice owner, and licensed clinical social worker – certified (LCSW-C), with 19 years experience in the Mental Health Field working with a variety of mental and emotional issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, anger and stress management, childhood/adolescent developmental stressors, and life transitional stages.

My ideal client may need help with confidence, relationships, or learning who they are. They aim to reduce symptoms of clinical diagnoses and work with me to see progress in their lives. This client would want to learn more about themselves and improve their relationships with others and with themselves. They would be a motivated and insightful client who attends sessions regularly and comes prepared with topics to discuss. I would help this client by listening to them and their thoughts, offering support, and building a rapport with them.

Are you craving change? Tired of letting fear and anxiety intrude on your life? Do you want to have more meaningful and authentic relationships? Counseling and therapy begins with a longing. Your longing might be for better relationships, more trust in yourself, less anxiety, feeling worthy and lovable, or feeling connected to your passion and purpose in life. I provide individual counseling for adults who are looking to create a future that is better than their past.

Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in child welfare, foster care, and the courts. I am keenly aware of the impact of family stress, conflict, addiction, trauma, and mental illness across generations. Because of this, I am committed to providing high quality services to adults who are touched by these or related issues, such as challenging life transitions, relationships, or a sense that something is not right and needs to change. I believe that healing change is most likely to occur when people have a safe, creative, non-judgmental environment where they can practice new ways of seeing themselves and their experiences.

Does your child seem down, anxious, irritable, or unable to focus? I am here to help. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 15 years of experience providing counseling to children, adolescents, and adults. My extensive experience in school-based settings has allowed me to treat a variety of concerns including anxiety, ADHD, relationship and peer issues, depression, adjustment to life changes, grief, trauma, and anger. Whether you are seeking counseling for yourself or your child, I will provide a place to feel heard, understood, and gently challenged.

Accepting new clients in 2024! I work with those seeking to improve their quality of life and relationships. You may have experienced early life trauma you find is keeping you “stuck” and are highly motivated to develop tools and coping skills to process and manage trauma’s impact to lead a fuller life.

I believe that the journey through growth in therapy is unique to every person. I work with those that are seeking assistance through life transitions, are processing intense emotions, need space with an unbiased support, or are looking for ways to invoke mindfulness and expression. Our paths in life frequently change, along with our perceptions and experiences. Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I am here to walk this path with you. Together we will explore obstacles and what makes us who we are to provide the power to change.

You can feel better and live a more satisfying life. Ideally, I am looking to work with clients focused upon personal growth, recovery, and healing.

My goal is to help you uncover your strengths, build values-based coping strategies, and embark on a journey of personal growth. In doing this work, I have discovered that the best way to move through emotional pain is to allow yourself to feel it. That can be incredibly overwhelming but with caring and consistent support, it becomes manageable. It is deeply healing to be heard and cared for in those vulnerable states and to understand that by attending to early emotional injuries, a path toward an authentic connection to yourself and others is not only possible, but achievable.

Do you or your child feel anxious, stressed or overwhelmed? Or have days where you feel sad, depressed or isolated from the world? Do you struggle with friendships or relationships in your life where you feel unheard or misunderstood? Navigating through an ever changing world that's filled with constant stressors can be very difficult for most. It helps to have a safe space where you can process your feelings and emotions openly with no judgement. I pride myself in being a safe person for children, teens and adults to speak freely about their fears, challenges and worries. Support and guidance are my goals for our work together.

Life is hard, and we are not born knowing all the answers. Many challenges are thrown our way and it's up to us to find our way through life as best we can. Life can have us feeling stuck, helpless, and confused. I approach therapy as an opportunity to provide others a safe non-judgemental space to learn about themselves, grow, and address challenges that may impact the way we interact with and feel about the world. As a queer-identified therapist, I am passionate about providing care to individuals who are questioning or identify with the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Putting in the time and effort to find the right therapist is not an easy task, and it takes courage to ask for support. I'm happy you're here. I am a Licensed Social Worker, and received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. My approach to therapy is warm, nonjudgmental, and client-centered. It is my goal to meet you wherever you’re at, and to make sure that you always feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. I blend evidence-based techniques with a down-to-earth perspective in our work together.

The journey to parenthood can be a scary and isolating time. Societal stigma, limited access to maternal health services, economic hardships and absence of 'a Village' all contribute to an increased sense of anxiety and depression during the perinatal time period. For this reason, mental health and patient advocacy services are more needed than ever during this transitionary period in life. Based on her own experiences with infertility and prenatal loss, Rebecca has become driven to provide empathetic, trauma informed care to individuals going through all stages of parenthood ranging from pre-conception to postpartum parenting.
