Aspen Hill Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Chandra Niklewski

I'm looking for clients who are ready to get to work on issues, big or small. If you need someone to laugh with you, that's me. I may not cry with you, but I'm going to make sure you have a safe place with me to do that if you need to. Don't deprive yourself from getting the help you need. I know finding a therapist can seem like such a monumental task, but choose to start somewhere. If I'm not the right fit, I'll try to help you so you can find that person you need.

Beth Levine

Do you get overwhelmed by your emotions or feel numb? Do you get caught in a negative spiral of shame and worthlessness? Maybe you find that you feel irritable much of the time or have trouble concentrating. I know that these challenges and others are painful and get in the way of leading a fulfilling life. I don’t want you to suffer from them anymore. The skills I have learned and the understanding I bring to my work will help you be self-compassionate and enjoy your life.

Kim Torrence

You have checked all the boxes of what you think would bring health and happiness. Yet you live with constant anxiety, dread of something going wrong, and a sense that you aren't good enough. You care deeply and feel strongly, and that can make it hard to put work down, hard to ignore other people's negativity, hard to not take everything personally. You want to be more present for the moments of your life, and you've tried pretty much everything to no avail. You wonder if there is another way.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Do you feel trapped by circumstances beyond your control? Are you unable to escape negative thoughts? Have you forgotten why you made the decisions that led you to this moment? Talk therapy can offer a way forward. Therapy can be a safe space to catch your breath, to talk out ideas that feel strange or risky, and to devise a new strategy for reconnecting with your best self. Therapy should feel comfortable so let me know if you want a consultation to help you decide if we are a good fit.

Sean Penny

Do you feel anxious, sad, lonely, or isolated? Do you struggle with pain connected to racism, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or one of the many ways we can be made to feel less than or not ourselves? As we build a relationship together, your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, and fantasies will be heard and treated with respect, curiosity, and care.

Christian Greene

Whether we need to paint, breathe, scream, or whisper we will be there to witness the strength and protect the vulnerability. Speaking even when our voice shakes. We will learn to be gentle with ourselves and vulnerable when amongst safety. We believe in science/ sleep is medicine/ movement is life/ nutrition provides our energy/ social support is vital/ healthy is foundational to happy/ art, music, and humor can heal.

Brave Within Counseling Hyon Bachman

Does your anxiety get in the way when you are trying to talk to your partner, co-workers, boss, or clients and feel stuck? When we try to “fix” what is outside of us, inevitably, we will continue to feel stuck. When we try to look within ourselves; our emotions, thoughts, or prejudgments based on our beliefs or assumptions, we may challenge ourselves and ask what we believe is true. I hope you are willing to challenge yourself by examining your unquestioned mind. In-Network-VA, Out of network-FL

Sayuri (Julie) Heinl

Have you looked at yourself in the mirror and not recognize the person looking back at you? Do you ever wonder how you went from 0-60? Do you do things in the moment—yell, scream, shut down, pretend like you don’t care—and wish you could take it back? If you are filled with anger, sadness, anxiety, fear, mistrust, and negativity, it will inevitably seep into your relationships with those you love. These parts of us tend to push others away, even though what we most desire is peace & connection.
