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.

Have you been looking for support in Maryland for therapy? Are you wondering what treatment might work best for you? Would you like to have someone who intimately understands the queer experience, being gender diverse, as you do your work? Especially during the pandemic, safe spaces can feel hard to find. My clients are open to experiential styles of therapy, including writing, meditating, drawing, and talking, of course. I hope I can be a provider of safe and meaningful work for you!

Lou Sanfillipo

While I welcome and support all clients, I specialize in serving folx who identify as gender, sexuality, and relationship diverse (GSRD). I provide individual therapy, sex therapy, and couples (+) therapy to support people in meeting their goals for themselves and their relationships. It is never the wrong time to become a better version of yourself. Some come to work through trauma and transitions, while others come for empowerment, self-care, and healthy boundaries.

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.

Angela Alborn

I truly believe the journey you are on is far greater than the season you are walking through. Adjusting to life in a post pandemic world has left many learning to cope with the unknown; unknown stress, unknown career paths, unknown relationships, unknown trauma, unknown sense of self. Sometimes these unknowns cause increased anxiety, depressive states, low self esteem, stress in relationships and loss of direction. You are capable of embracing the unknowns to build your new life.
