“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.” Do you feel a lot of feelings and you are not sure what to do with them? Have you tried therapy before, but it didn’t work out? Are you new to therapy and wonders how therapy works? Well…your search will stop here after you work with Alison. Alison is a person-centered therapist who values her relationship with clients. She integrates different modalities to meet clients’ needs. Instead of talking about psychological theories, Alison uses a nondirective approach to help clients gain insights and change their thinking patterns. Clients often describe the session with Alison is inspiring and light-hearted which helps clients be the best version of themselves and brings joy back to their life.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Taylor Allie, licensed professional counselor
Serving Black / African American

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.

Bethesda, Maryland therapist: Amanda Shrekenhamer, licensed professional counselor
Serving Black / African American

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.
