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.

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.

When navigating through transitions, relationships, identity concerns, and other challenging aspects of our lives, we often encounter new or unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Therapy allows you to enter a safe, warm, and compassionate space to address the experiences that have brought you to where you are today with the hope that in time, you can begin to understand & clear your doubts, develop your identity, and deepen your understanding of what makes you, you.

Family/Couples therapy is a type of psychological counseling (psychotherapy) that can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. Family/ Couples therapy can help you improve troubled relationships with your partner, children or other family members. You may address specific issues such as marital/ relational or financial problems, conflict between partners, parents and children, or the impact of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family.

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.

Richard ‘Pinny’ Roth

There is nothing on earth that makes a person happier or more depressed. Let’s face it. When our romantic relationship is in a good place- we are our happiest. The food we eat tastes good, our beds are comfortable, we appreciate what we have and feel we can face any challenge. When our relationship is not in a good place- nothing makes us feel more depressed. Even silly things agitate us. Together and with the framework of EFT therapy, we can get to the root of your relationship issues.

We can work together to forge a path toward a happier life.

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.
