Substance Use Therapists in Timonium, MD

I welcome children, adolescents, and adults of all backgrounds to collaborate with me in unlocking their full potential as individuals. I have collaborated with individuals with concerns ranging from severe depression, anxiety, substance use, developmental disorders (including learning disorders and ADD/ADHD), stress management, life changes, and school and work challenges.

If you are struggling with distressing emotions, feeling lost or stuck you are in the right place. I believe in meeting people where they are in their journey toward self discovery and acceptance. I offer a compassionate and authentic approach and will work collaboratively with you to build upon your strengths and help you to develop tangible skills and tools to overcome and manage your current struggles.

Hello! I love working with kids, teens, and their parents on responding to big, overwhelming feelings. I’m also passionate about supporting women transitioning to motherhood and those coping with the day to day stressors of being busy parents. I can assist parents in managing their own symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, and/or executive dysfunction while parenting. Another area of passion is helping teens and adults move away from rigid, disordered eating and towards the freedom of intuitive eating through improving their distress tolerance and self-compassion.

Are you tired of feeling controlled by your anger, substance use, or toxic relationships? Do you feel as if getting out of bed is the hardest part of your day, feeling unable to make decisions and achieve your goals, or frustrated by chronic pain and illness? The first step in any journey is always the hardest, so congratulations on taking it and starting to consider participation in therapy. I would be honored to work with you to identify specifically what is and isn’t working in your life and discover how the skills and strengths you already possess can be applied in new ways to meet your goals.

Through my 15+ years in this work, I feel I am best equipped to support individuals who are struggling with alcohol/substance use or misuse that may be attributed to co-occurring mental health disorders, past trauma, or unknown reasons. I have worked with a variety of patients ranging from those experiencing minor struggles that may be impacting relationships to those hitting 'rock bottom' and lacking hope. If you are interested in changing any aspect of your drinking or substance use behavior, together, we can make that happen.

Therapy is an opportunity to sort through the puzzle pieces of oneself, and gain insight about how it all fits together. The beginning stages of therapy is a time to take each piece of your life story puzzle out of the box and share it with me. Some of those pieces will be clearly defined, or there might even be sections you don’t need much help from me on. Other parts will require some examination, analysis, and exploration. My role is to witness these pieces, these parts of your story, and work together on assembling your life puzzle. I have a casual, personable style. I strive to create a create a warm and supportive environment.

Congratulations on beginning your journey of change and personal growth. Asking for help and prioritizing yourself are very difficult challenges and take great self-awareness and courage.

Through genuine empathy and free of judgement, we can address your goals in a complete and holistic manner using evidence-based treatment techniques.

My therapy practice is founded on my belief that inherent in everyone is the ability to know their wants and needs, declare their own truths and find the best way forward. As your therapist, my role is to support you in your journey, at whatever place you start, to help you clear the way, navigate through the storms, and celebrate the sunshine. My specialties are Addictions Recovery, EMDR/Trauma Therapy , Anger Management and Conflict Resolution and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. All potential new clients are welcome to an initial 30 minute consultation, at no charge.

Finding a stable sense of well-being can feel like an uphill struggle. It is a continually moving target that requires effort, adaptability, and support to maintain. As a therapist, I provide that support by helping people process and work through the issues they face. And among life’s issues, accepting help can be one of the most difficult. Talking to a stranger about one’s problems is understandably daunting, which is why I strive to create a comfortable environment free of judgment and rich with compassion.

Being human can be tough! Together, we can uncover unwanted patterns in your life that are no longer serving you. In a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space, we can work through fears, sadness, worries, and the stressors of everyday life.

You have been feeling down and overwhelmed, maybe even stuck. You may feel like you have tried everything or this may be your first attempt to reach out. We all go through times in our lives when therapy can help us to cope with the difficulties that arise. You are not alone.

I am passionate about working with women entering the world of motherhood who may be struggling with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. I find helping them process and understand their new experience as a parent and the impact such a huge transition has on their well-being can be incredibly beneficial. I also love working with young couples that have recently become parents as they struggle to navigate a new vision of their relationship. I can work with young children within the family as well, while mostly focusing on the family as a whole as we work towards ways we can adjust parenting practices to sustain a happier household.

I have been an LCPC for two decades. I specialize in treating Trauma/PTSD, Depression & Anxiety, utilizing EMDR, among other treatment modalities. I am also a Therapeutic Life Coach. My style is engaged & interactive. You and I will partner to resolve issues that interfere in both personal & work domains, to enhance your peace of mind & improve the quality of your life. Within a supportive and trusting environment, I will help you to address the issues that have kept you stuck in an inauthentic and unfulfilling life.

With the right person, therapy can be a unique and powerful tool for affecting change. Through the process of self-exploration, in a nonjudgmental environment, I believe every person has the ability to change their circumstances and to rewrite their story as it’s being written.

I see frustration, sadness, and fear as information and energy for change. I bring compassion and empathy to create a safe place for you to look carefully at what's causing difficulties in your personal or work life. Those come from self-doubt, grief, changing circumstances. I know different people need different approaches. I help people find more skillful ways to think and act. I help parents regain leadership in their families. I know young people don't need lectures. To quiet traumatic memories without re-exposure, I use EMDR. My clients learn Mindfulness Stress Reduction to manage stress daily.

Please note I only provide tele-therapy services in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Florida, Delaware & W. Virginia. It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds. If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my Transpersonal , Jungian, and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral approach to be of benefit. The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity, or self, extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass greater meaning. This can include exploring non ordinary states of consciousness.

If you have you been upset about your life or relationship, you just may feel better sooner than you ever thought you would. I can help you reduce the emotional pain while increasing your confidence at the same time. I have been referred to as a "no-holds-barred life changer." I use Psychotherapy, Hypnotherapy and EFT as tools to speed up your growth process. When you walk in my office you are a person not just one of my clients. We will find out what your specific needs are and then match the best treatment for you. www.drdeborahcooper.com

Welcome! My name is Naomi and I specialize in working with adults 18+ who suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, complicated grief, addiction, and/or personality disorders.

I believe all people have the inner wisdom to cope effectively and that some just need help tapping into it. I keep it real with my clients competently and compassionately. I meet people where they are using empathy, humor, and 10 years of clinical experience.
