Silver Spring Therapists specializing in Parenting

Chana Lockerman

We are, each of us, on a constant journey of change. We are dynamic. We are never still, like the constant movement of water. And just like water, we have the power to shape the world around us. As we navigate daily life we can appear still on the surface, but underneath it all we are brimming with life, power, and impact.

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.

Ruby Snyder

Therapy is a place you can expect to feel safe, validated and supported. You will bring curiosity, openness, and desire to change. I will provide safety, compassion, and practical skills for managing the challenges of everyday life.

Anneke Vandenbroek, Ph.D., ABPP

Trauma often lingers and can impact people years, even decades, after the original event. My expertise is using an evidenced-based holistic approach to reduce the effect of trauma on your life. Trauma and PTSD often impact relationships, and I specialize in couples therapy where one or both partners have experienced trauma. My goal is to facilitate meaningful change your life, regardless of your reason for seeking therapy.

Robin Brannan

What is good parenting? It looks different in every family, but at its core is human connection. I most often do parenting work with adults whose children have been diagnosed with learning differences, ADHD, autism, or other conditions that may affect the connection between parents and kids. Parents develop a clear understanding of their children's needs and learn to structure family life in a way that brings our their and their children's best selves.

Liza Harbison

Finding a therapist can be a daunting task, whether you are in crisis or just looking to make a change.

Carol Barnaby, MSW, LCSW-C

We all have challenges that hold us back and keep us from feeling the way we want and from living our best life. Maybe you have been disappointed, experienced loss, trauma, or rejection. Maybe you have struggled with anxiety, OCD, isolation, or low self-esteem. Maybe you are going through a difficult transition. I offer a blend of tools to help you to begin to feel better. We can work together to forge a path toward a happier life.

Annie Bertran

I believe in providing a safe and supportive environment where I will collaborate with you to meet your goals by learning and practicing new skills to apply to your daily life. Throughout my career, I have learned how to remain calm no matter the crisis and provide a steady emotional rock for my clients to lean on throughout the difficult times in their lives. I work with a variety of clients with all types of struggles and needs. I provide a safe space to work through these and teach skills

Heather Haledjian

Some of the reasons my clients start therapy with me are being "sick and tired" of the chronic dieting, yo-yo weights, food obsession, restrictive eating and/or bingeing and purging and constant efforts to control their shape and weight. They want a healthier relationship with food and their bodies but don't know how to get there. There may be anxiety and/or depression as well and they may be at a point where their eating issues are impacting their relationships and functioning.

Dustin Winkel

Are you living with excessive worry? Sadness? Recent loss or life transition(s)? Relationship challenges? Workplace stresses? LGBTQIA or other minority identity? Family of origin concerns?

There's not just one way to make change and together, we'll create a safe space for you to focus on what's most important to you, Here & NOW.

Katelyn Alcamo

Have you noticed a change in your child's mood or behavior? Is your family struggling to connect or communicate effectively? Are you looking to get to know yourself better and/or get support in making life choices? Family Therapy Center of Bethesda helps children, teens, individuals, and families connect, build on strengths, and develop tools and resources to help them live their best lives.

Amanda Shrekenhamer

I repeatedly hear my clients who are parents (especially those who are parents of young children), that they often feel unsupported and left behind. I often help parents find their way through parental burnout, balance parenting obligations with demanding work schedules, and find a sense of peace amongst the anxiety and uncertainty that can accompany raising children.
