Parenting Therapists in Rockville, MD

I am a neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, tester, and supervisor. Support is inclusive and welcoming to all. I see all ages for individuals, families, groups, couples, and parenting. We will focus foremost on building a nurturing, supportive, honest, and empathic interpersonal therapeutic relationship. I will meet you where you are, and help you identify, embrace, and support your strengths, vulnerabilities, and needs. Support is guided by your goals, & based in attachment and the relational neurosciences. I have over a decade's worth of experience as a therapist, tester, supervisor, presenter, and clinical director.

I work mainly with children (2-12 years) who suffer with anxiety, depression, regulation disorders and trauma-related symptoms. I have years of experience working with parents and their adopted children.

We provide TELETHERAPY and IN-PERSON therapy. Growing Minds offers expertise in social-emotional development for early childhood through adolescence as well as parenting support. Our playful, expressive and evidence-based approach will engage your child and deepen your insight into your child's behaviors and inner-world. We provide guidance in concrete parenting strategies to both manage challenges and build your family's resilience. Our integrative methods focus on the whole-child through individual, family, and group therapy modalities, along with collaboration with schools, specialists, and community resources.

Is your child facing challenges with managing big feelings of anxiety? Do they find it difficult to connect with friends or keep up at school? Are you a parent struggling to understand and help your child express themselves and use healthy coping mechanisms? As a therapist, I'm here to give you and your child tools and strategies to work with life’s obstacles. I specialize in working with ADHD, Autism, anxiety disorders, grief, and trauma. In my work with children and teens, I utilize a blend of play-based techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, expressive arts including art, music and drama, as well as sand play therapy.

I provide teletherapy for children, teens, and young adults (18-25) experiencing anxiety, OCD, panic, and/or traumatic stress. I also work with parents to reduce conflict at home, navigate problematic child behaviors, and support their children to develop healthy emotion regulation skills. Additionally, I have expertise in health psychology and enjoy working with youth who have chronic medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, food allergy, GI conditions). I further specialize in ADHD and offer executive functioning support/organizational skills training.

Have you been feeling tense or stressed out? Perhaps you feel upset about current life challenges, are feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern-day parenting or family life, or are feeling stuck or unfulfilled in your career or life in general. I provide individual therapy to adults, young adults and adolescents who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, parenting problems, stress, sleep disorders, life transitions, and relational issues.

I am passionate when it comes to therapy! Having the opportunity to help people find positive growth in their lives is so rewarding to me! I've spent 30 years working with adolescents in a variety of roles and settings. In recent years, I have had the opportunity to integrate family therapy, parent coaching, and kink informed therapy into my practice. It is so fulfilling to help my clients work through conflicts, become more resilient, and enhance their overall strength and unification. I have also enjoy doing insight based work with adults who are experiencing conflicts or transitions in their lives.

Have you been feeling anxious, worried, restless or overwhelm lately? Has getting some sleep become a struggle? Do you find yourself wearing a smile to mask the hurt, loneliness, and sadness deep inside? Do you find yourself feeling guilty about prioritizing your own needs? If any of this resonates with you, there's a reason why you're struggling, and perhaps you're ready for a change. Every stage of life introduces new challenges that can feel overwhelming and disabling. However, it's important to remember that within each of us lies the ability and strength to navigate these challenges with equanimity.

Hello! I'm Dr. Shira Benhorin and I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children (3+), adolescents, and families with a wide range of behavioral, emotional, and social concerns, including behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, ADHD, school challenges, social difficulties, and parent-child challenges. I offer individual and family therapy, as well as parent training sessions. I also specialize in working with children with Feeding Disorders/ARFID (extreme food selectivity, limited oral intake), and LGBTQ+ youth and families.

Did you wake up one day and feel as if you no longer recognize yourself? Are you beginning to struggle at work or school?

Our therapists are action-based and can help support you, your family, or your teen/tween to get unstuck, gain insights, build more self-awareness, and work toward a positive future. We aim to help you overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, and work toward your goals. We teach skills that can be used outside of the office and in the real world and implement strategies to start feeling better faster.

Making the decision to see a therapist is never easy and takes great courage. I try to provide a safe, trusting environment for adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious and/or depressed. In my practice I use a supportive, solution-focused approach, which is practical and results oriented. I see therapy as a process for change rather than merely an exercise in insight.

The challenges of early childhood are sometimes overlooked. Common, age appropriate behaviors could be quite difficult to deal with. Moreover, when a child presents highly disruptive and even destructive behaviors, parents may experience helplessness, anxiety and even shame. Loving and caring parents may try to do all the right things and a child might still show signs of struggle. Managing difficult behaviors could become like a second job and increase levels of distress in the family. I utilize Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to help children and parents to enjoy their time together.

Reaching out for support can be extremely difficult...trust me, I have been there myself! It really is the first step towards unlocking all of life's possibilities and potential to heal and grow. Therapy is a gift and allowing me the ability to experience this transformative journey with you is a gift to me. My goal is to provide a collaborative, safe, and comfortable space where you feel seen, supported, and connected. I believe therapy is nourishment for social, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. I use my dietetic background for a holistic approach. Together, we will find a path that works best for you!

I'm a telehealth therapist, specialized in the areas of anxiety, grief and loss, and parenting support.

If you or your loved one need a safe space to learn and grow healthier, happier, and stronger, please visit kerriannmurraylcsw.com today

Many challenges in life can feel like they are uniquely yours to bear alone; however, this is rarely the case. People visit me concerned about how they feel and function in key life and professional relationships. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families on a variety of overlapping issues such as anxiety and depression, self-esteem, parenting children with special needs, setting limits with adult children, work/life balance issues, and sexual desire issues in committed relationships. Often these issues can be helped by addressing the common denominator of individual development within a family or relationship system.

Welcome! I love working with teens, emerging adults and midlife adults to navigate the expected and unexpected life transitions. I use a collaborative, client centered approach with holistic attention to wellness and prevention as well as addressing current challenges. Focus areas include career/college planning, work/life balance, family changes, (parenting, blended families and more) communication and managing conditions of ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, including pet grief and loss. I have over 15 years experience working with children, youth and adults using traditional narrative and talk therapy balanced with humor.

I have two passions as a therapist: individual therapy with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, OCD and phobias, and parent coaching (including SPACE and PCIT interventions) for the parents of young children through teens. If you are a teen or adult looking to overcome your anxiety, perfectionism, or OCD, or a parent who is looking to build or strengthen the happy, connected family life you’ve always wanted, I can partner with you to help.
