Therapists in Laurel, MD
On the banks of the Patuxent River you will find Laurel, Maryland, which is a small town that is known for Laurel Park, which is a thoroughbred horse racetrack. Some people like to go there and place bets on the horses for fun. However, for some, betting can turn into a gambling habit that can become an addiction.
The City of Laurel has many professional addiction therapists who can help with gambling and other addictions. If you or someone you know is having trouble with gambling, talk to a therapist before it damages your life anymore than it already has.

11 years offering treatment
I am a licensed psychologist with over 11 years experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of difficulties. I specialize in traumatic brain injury, concussion, depression, anxiety, women's issues, relationship issues, child and adult ADHD, pain, learning, academic, and work difficulties, self-esteem issues, chronic illness, and adjustment to illness and injury. I believe in treating clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My style is empathic and supportive, yet direct. I will challenge my clients to gain more independence and accept responsibility. My primary orientation is cognitive-behavioral, although I do integrate other theoretical orientations on a case-by-case basis. I focus on areas of strength in order to compensate for areas that are not as strong. I prefer a positive approach to problem-solving. I will be sure to treat each case individually and gladly accept your feedback. I look forward to helping you! Also, just an FYI as there has been some confusion, I typically respond one or potentially two times a day, Monday through Friday. I will not typically respond Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays unless there are special circumstances. This also includes use of the “Urgent” button- this button is only to be used in an immediate crisis situation, meaning a life or death situation where an immediate resource is needed to stay safe. Use of this button over a holiday or weekend will likely result in no response until the next working day, UNLESS the message fits the criteria of a crisis situation. Further, if and when you schedule a live session, I am only doing live text at this point, no video or audio. Live text sessions are scheduled in 30 minute blocks. You are able to schedule one of these per week, plus write in your room as often as you wish and expect a response within 24-48 hours Monday through Friday. Thank you, I look forward to working with you!

29 years offering treatment
I have been practicing mental health and substance abuse counseling for 29 years. I believe that my approach is warm and passionate. I believe that therapy is a collaborative approach between the therapist and client. My specializations and experience include working with clients with addictions, depression, work related issues, mood disorders, anxiety, self-worth/self-esteem issues, family conflict and other issues. In my years of treating various clients, I have found that one major similarity is how unkind clients can be to themselves as compared to how they are to others. My goal is to help them see how they manifest this lack of self-compassion and self-love. By empowering clients to be aware of this behavior and other unhealthy behaviors, clients make better decisions, engage in healthier relationships, and see the world in a more positive way. I hope that I will have the opportunity to share this experience with you.

Fluent in Spanish with education, training, and experience in therapy models such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I selectively integrate a variety of goal-oriented, solution-focused, and person-centered techniques into a uniquely individualized treatment approach for individuals, couples, and families. My multicultural clinical expertise includes treating individuals of all ages depression, anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, gender identity, sexual identity, adjustment, anger management, personality disorders, and grief. My training in EMDR Therapy allows me treat an array of PTSD including single-event PTSD, complex PTSD (disorder of extreme stress) and Developmental Trauma Disorder. I counsel adult victims who have experienced sudden traumatic loss, childhood trauma, violent crimes, domestic abuse, addictions, motor vehicle accidents, and veterans of combat. My approach to multicultural counseling integrates Eastern approaches to mindfulness, Western approaches to spirituality, and for my younger clients I enjoy integrating play and/or art therapy into the psychotherapy process. Each person is a unique individual deserving of a unique individualized treatment plan. One size does not fit all.
