Shelby Willoughby
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LMSW
Are you experiencing difficulty with life adjustments or social connectedness? I am passionate about working with those who are struggling with eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, grief, relational and social difficulties, and members of the LQBTQIA+ community. I believe that the foundation of developing an authentic self is understanding the body's response to life experiences and understanding how it functions under stress. Together, we will create a safe, supportive, and trauma-aware space to begin healing.
In settings such as partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient, I have worked with adults and teens experiencing binge eating, purging, anorexia, orthorexia, excessive exercise, OSFED, ARFID, and body image issues. Throughout sessions, I complete evaluations to determine whether you or a loved one requires more intensive/supportive eating disorder treatment.
In addition, I complete bariatric evaluations that are required for the surgical process. This service helps determine readiness, address any concerns about underlying eating disorder behavior, provide pre/post therapeutic support, and explore alternatives to surgery. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to assist patient's needs and use collaborative methodologies to facilitate supportive communication, reconnection, problem solving, and positive decision-making with teens, adults, and families. I hope to hear from you and look forward to jump starting your mental health journey.

Louisa Lombard
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC
I most often support empathic, caring, sensitive people who are used to being the “go-to” person for others, while feeling overwhelmed and depleted themselves. This is how it has always been and feels aligned with your values, and you know this way of existing is not sustainable and doesn't make you truly happy. If you’re ready to begin working toward making some shifts in life, or even ready to think about what that might look like, I’ll provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can feel understood and comfortable identifying and working toward your dreams, in order to move toward a life that you love more.
I offer online therapy for people throughout California and Maryland. Contact me for a free consultation call to have your questions answered. I look forward to connecting!

Taylor Allie
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
You are not your thoughts, feelings, or the things that have happened to you, but that is easy to forget, so I use a mindfulness-based approach to therapy that helps you remember.
By infusing techniques from Buddhist Psychology, DBT, IFS, and ACT throughout the therapeutic journey, I will support you in actualizing your goals and deepening your relationship with yourself and others.
Attaining inner-peace within a chaotic world is not impossible but it requires regular practice. Perhaps I can offer you a safe, collaborative, and compassionate space for us to practice together.

Stacy Brumage
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCP, LCPC
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and comfortable enough to be honest about the things that are difficult to say out loud. My style is warm and compassionate, but I’m also active and engaged in the process. I won’t simply sit back and listen—we’ll work together to understand what’s happening, identify what is keeping you stuck, and find a path forward.
I understand how disorienting betrayal, infidelity, and trauma can be, particularly when you no longer trust your own instincts or know what comes next. You don’t need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy. We can start exactly where you are and work toward greater clarity, stability, and trust in yourself.

Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
I have a special interest in addressing various challenges, including Trauma and PTSD, Career Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem/Personal Growth, Life Transitions/Adjustment, Relationship Conflict, Multicultural Issues, Religion and Spirituality, Self-harm, Suicidal Ideation, and Bipolar/Mood Disorders. In my therapeutic approach, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), having completed the foundational training through the Linehan Institute and contributing to CCG's comprehensive DBT team. My toolkit also includes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Client-Centered, Solutions Focused, Trauma-Informed, and Psychodynamic modalities, with a willingness to integrate faith and spirituality into sessions upon client request. As a Resident in Counseling in Virginia and a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Maryland, my priority is to establish a secure and collaborative environment, drawing on my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. Being a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. My professional journey includes serving diverse populations at a group practice, where I supported first responders, medical staff, military personnel/veterans, international humanitarian workers, law enforcement, and journalists. I've worked with individuals facing fertility and prepartum/postpartum challenges and implemented social-emotional learning for refugee children in Germany. Beyond my counseling role, I find joy in outdoor activities, travel, culinary exploration, and quality time with my husband.

W. Katherine Redd
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life’s stressors can become overwhelming and cause a sense of being disconnected from who you once were or aspire to be. Despite your best efforts – exercising, seeking spiritual guidance, talking to trusted friends, reading self-help books – finding peace within yourself can seem like a never-ending battle. You’ve taken the critical first step toward seeking help. Let us take the next step together. As a Clinical Psychologist, I bring a genuine sense of compassion for my clients' difficulties. Together, we will work to find meaning behind emotions, discover the patterns of your thoughts, learn new skills and strategies to feel more emotionally grounded, and quiet conflicts that have lived beyond their time. I invite you to reach out to discuss your needs.

Amanda Shrekenhamer
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC
*I am currently accepting new clients*
I’m glad you are here. Reaching out to find support can be the hardest step. I can be difficult to know how to move forward in your personal life, work, or academics when fear, anxiety, or depression are making you feel stuck.
I often find that when one hits a crossroad in their life, it can sometimes bring stress, but also has the capacity to create growth and resilience. Whether it’s experiencing overwhelming feelings of loneliness, trying to find your footing as a parent, coping with a difficult boss or colleague, or navigating the loss of a relationship, having a nonjudgmental and supportive space to work on areas of growth can make all of the difference.
I believe that positive change most readily occurs when the right balance of accountability and self compassion is achieved. To that end, I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can truly feel supported.
