Silver Spring Therapists specializing in Relationship / Marriage Issues

Junko Araki

Have you ever felt that your mind and body are not in sync? Have you felt something weird internally but you didn't know how to describe it? Body movement is our native language and a primal way of learning, processing, and communicating. While dealing with a busy life, we tend to forget to listen to our bodies which store and carry our memories and may develop various struggles. I will help you explore unprocessed feelings and experiences kept in the body and find the mind-body cohesion.

ANASTAZYIA VARESCHI

Understanding that therapy can help sustain energy and emotional health, I specialize in counseling educators, change makers, care workers, artists, organizers, and veterans. Life transitions may bring feelings of anxiety, loss, anger, or sadness. No one deserves to face these challenges alone. My work with people centers their unique perspectives, experiences, and identities through life’s transitions.

Samuel Wilson

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.

Robin Brannan

I love helping children ages 4+ discover their superpowers, learn to manage their emotions, build great friendships, and succeed at school. I also help parents understand and collaborate with their children to build a family life they truly enjoy. Families often come to me when their child's ADHD, anxiety, autism, or learning difference has started to make family life more stressful than fun. If you and your partner fight about parenting, I can help you get back on the same page too.

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.

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.

Michael Shifter

Depression, anxiety, trauma, and numerous other internal and external barriers can seem overwhelming when trying to navigate daily life alone. My clients often are often seeking support in getting motivated to follow through with personal understanding and growth, while looking to heal deeper wounds even when it has seemed so impossible before.

Jon Thomas

Doctors, nurses, teachers, mental health professionals, social workers, clergy, and high-powered executives face unique challenges that affect their professional, home, and personal lives. Burnout can lead to absenteeism, substance abuse, physical and mental health issues and a host of other problems. I specialize in providing help to individuals whose jobs require the most from them.

Naomi LeVine

I work with teens and adults struggling with a wide range of issues, including life transitions, relationships, stress management, self-image, anxiety, trauma, grief, and burnout. With couples, I work with you toward improved communication, identifying shared goals and values, and a greater understanding of each other. All I ask is that you come with openness to the process and a willingness to try something new.

Nina Anagnostopoulos

Sean Penny

Do you feel anxious, sad, lonely, or isolated? Do you struggle with trauma 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.

Norma Ortiz

Do you feel anxious, lonely, depressed, angry or resentful and struggle to manage your emotions? Do you constantly tell yourself “maybe I’m just an anxious/depressed person and I'm going to feel this way forever"? Do you feel powerless to change at times? I know exactly what you're going through and I'm here to let you know you don't have to continue suffering any longer. With our work together, you can become a master of your emotions and no longer allow your emotions to be the master of you.

David Sternberg

We help young adults (20s and 30s) navigate what is often a turbulent period of time. Clients come to us for a variety of reasons: It could be that they are struggling with anxiety or depression; figuring out what to about their current relationship; having difficulty successfully separating from their parents; or they have questions about work or the direction of their career. All of our therapists and counselors are passionate about helping young adults lead happier, healthier lives.

Beth Levine

Relationship can be messy, particularly for people who haven't always had the best role models. I help people learn to be in better connection with themselves in order to be in better connection with others.

Amber Samson

I work primarily with Gen Z and Millennial individuals and couples to help them cope with a variety of issues. These issues include generalized anxiety, depression, identity issues, relationship issues, life transitions, family conflict, trauma, and stress. Navigating young adulthood can often be incredibly challenging. You may feel the need to partner with someone to help you find meaning during this important phase of your life. That is where therapy comes into play. Therapy is a collaboration

Sabrina Bowen

I am extremely successful in working with teenage girls. Several pediatricians referred teenagers to me since my clients reported good experiences with me. I also enjoy working with couples to improve their relationship and connection. Christian couples who are interested in strengthening their relationship should call me. It is easy to feel hopeless in the middle of a new fight within a few sessions, most of my couples feel closer and fight less.
