Looking for therapy in Maryland that goes deeper than symptom management? At our Rockville office, we offer trauma-informed care that’s personalized, compassionate, and rooted in the latest brain- and body-based approaches. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, or the effects of trauma, we’re here to support you with therapy that meets you exactly where you are.
What Is Trauma-Informed Therapy?
Trauma-informed therapy recognizes how past experiences, especially those that overwhelmed your ability to cope, can shape the way you think, feel, and relate to others today.
This approach is about:
- Working at your pace, with your body and brain as allies in healing
- Understanding the connection between your symptoms and your nervous system
- Creating a sense of safety and control in the therapy space
What We Help With
Our therapists in Maryland support clients through a wide range of challenges, including:
- Perfectionism, burnout, and chronic stress
- Anxiety and panic rooted in past experiences
- Over‑functioning and emotional numbness in high achievers
- Relationship or attachment wounds
- Identity trauma and oppression‑related stress (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ affirming)
- Childhood or developmental trauma
- Medical trauma or grief after loss
- PTSD and complex PTSD
- Sexual trauma or abuse
We often work with individuals who’ve “tried talk therapy” but still feel stuck. If you find your challenges hard to explain, or like they live more in your body than your words, you’re not alone. We’re here to help you reconnect with safety, clarity, and inner resilience.
How We Help
Our approach blends leading-edge, evidence-based modalities to support lasting transformation. Depending on your unique needs, your therapist may draw from:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Brainspotting
- Somatic Approaches
- Parts Work/Internal Family Systems (IFS)
- Traditional Talk Therapy
- Mindfulness and Body-Based Techniques
We believe healing happens in relationship with yourself and with a compassionate, skilled therapist who honors your pace. Our goal isn’t to “fix” you; it’s to walk alongside you as you navigate this challenging time and support you in achieving the outcomes you want for yourself. We believe therapy goals are collaboratively defined, shaped by your needs, hopes, and vision for healing.
