Does this sound familiar?
Lately, it feels like your life is trying to eat you up and swallow you whole. Every day is some new battle.
Just showing up to work is hard, let alone trying to excel. Your relationships are suffering, too. You know your partner just wants to help, so why did you snap at them last week?
It’s like you’ve completely lost control over your own emotions. Someone else has hopped in the driver’s seat, and they’re running the show.
It’s possible you don’t know what’s wrong.
You can’t pinpoint the problem. Life just feels flat-out overwhelming, and somewhere along the way, things changed. You don’t feel like yourself anymore.
Family and friends try to comfort you. But no matter what they say, nothing helps you feel better or gain control over your life.
You’re not alone, and this is what we do.
By being here, you’ve already taken an important step. With the help of therapy, you can slowly put yourself back in the driver’s seat of your life.
Your first appointment is a 60-minute intake in our North Bethesda office: we talk through what you’re struggling with, go over your goals, and build a plan. From there, you meet with the same therapist each week, in our office or by video when you’re on the go. We meet you where you need to be.
Our adult therapists are licensed Maryland clinicians with decades of combined experience in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, career stress and life changes. We use a combination of evidence-based therapies to help you explore your struggles, achieve valuable insights, and develop new skills. What you share with your therapist stays between the two of you.
We can’t wait to help you, too.
