Montgomery Village Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

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.

I'm passionate about women's health and caregiver wellness. Clients come to therapy often feeling lost, confused and stuck. Many people want to process work stress, worries, sleep issues, loneliness, health challenges, grief and loss, parent/child dynamics, relationships, guilt and shame, career and life transitions. My work emphasizes mind/body awareness to facilitate healing. I've worked with clients who are completely new to therapy and those who have tried therapy before.

Evan Harris

Are you afraid that your proclivities towards kink or polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are due to trauma? I would almost certainly disagree. Are you afraid that if you see a therapist for your trauma they'll attribute your kinkiness or poly-ness to that trauma? I won't. Ever. Imagine a life without anxiety, inexplicable anger, deep sadness, or panic attacks. You're feeling like there must be a better way to live; I can help you find it.

Sonia Kersevich

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. I am here to provide support. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.

As we build a relationship together, your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, and fantasies will be heard and treated with respect, curiosity, and care.
