Maureen A-Ngeh
I am a licensed clinical social worker/therapist licensed in the District of Columbia and the state of Maryland with over 10 years of experience. I have had the opportunity to work with children and families, young adults as well as the elderly dealing with varying issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, dealing with societal and environmental stressors while hospitalized as well as with the community. These issues often interrupt our daily lives and can feel debilitating. However, when one has a trusting therapeutic relationship with someone who cares, one can work towards a path to appropriately managing these issues and eventually freedom. My counseling style is interactive, empathetic, and warm. It is my belief that listening is the key to success in a therapeutic relationship and every client that I am blessed to serve will feel heard. Being treated with dignity, respect and compassion are also the tenets that I abide by and will display that in every interaction and intervention. My approach combines strengths therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy and solution-focused therapy to ensure that the highest level of outcome is achieved as outlined by a treatment plan that will be tailored to your needs. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Marc Wilner
If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply stuck, you're not alone. I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, burnout, addiction, and the everyday pressures that can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself or the people you care about. I also have a special interest in working with First Responders and individuals facing major life adjustments. Many of the people I meet have spent a long time trying to handle everything on their own. They may feel weighed down by self-doubt, struggling in their relationships, grieving a loss, or wondering why the same patterns keep repeating. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported while also helping you make meaningful, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and conversational. Therapy with me isn't about simply talking through problems—it's about working together to better understand what's keeping you stuck, identifying your strengths, and developing practical tools you can use in everyday life. I tailor treatment to your unique needs using evidence-based approaches while creating an environment where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. Whether you're a teenager trying to find your footing or an adult carrying burdens that have become too heavy to manage alone, my hope is to help you move toward greater peace, confidence, freedom, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through.
