Depression therapists in Rockville, Maryland MD

Depression is one of the most common mental health issues, and fortunately, there are numerous treatment options for it. I specialize in numerous treatment approaches for depression, including two evidence-based treatments (cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal psychotherapy). Together, we will determine which treatment option might be best for you!  

Depression puts a melancholy perspective in one's life journey that impedes one's ability to function from day to day. I will work with you to identify the symptoms and triggers of your depression and develop appropriate skills and techniques that will help you manage your symptoms and develop stability for your journey.  

Do you feel overwhelmed? Are you stuck in the same cycle just trying to get from day to day? Are you experiencing a transition that never seems to end? You may have noticed that you are not coping in the healthiest of ways. Perhaps you’re starting to disconnect and distance yourself from others— avoiding invites from friends or family, letting calls go to voicemail and ignoring texts for weeks. Not to mention, you also feel worn out and no amount of sleep seems to help. There’s still time to make some changes. You’ve always been there for other people, but now it’s time to show up for yourself. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients on major to minor life issues to provide clarity, relief, and understanding that allows for a way forward. I would love to join you on your journey. Being depressed sucks, and you are probably reading this because you suspect that there's a way to feel much better than you currently feel. Whether you've been depressed for years and years or this is your first time, I can help. Big changes don’t happen all at once, but in a short time you can take action towards building the life that you want. Therapy can help you start to understand the patterns that are keeping you stuck and take steps to help you feel happier and more content. Trained in research supported therapies and yet down-to-earth and relatable, I use the tools and strategies that are right for you based on your unique needs. Schedule an appointment today.  

The pandemic has given rise to an understandable increase in depression. You may have been struggling with increased social isolation and loss in different forms.

Washington Psychological wellness is a boutique-style mental health practice located in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Our clinicians are specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of depression in children, adolescents, teens, and adults. Our clinicians believe in the uniqueness of each individual. They will provide a comfortable and collaborative environment where you can take risks and explore different ways of thinking, feeling, and being. We aim to help you gain clarity about the underlying causes of your depression, provide strategies to help you cope, and empower you to trust your inner voice and live each day authentically. We are currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy options are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!  

I will be interested in exactly what you are experiencing - sadness, a sense of doom, overwhelm, fatalism, listlessness and lack of motivation - rather than a diagnosis. Then we work directly with the thoughts and feelings that are troubling you and resolve them at the emotional, unconscious level.  

You don't need to stay stuck in the pit of depression! I have had extensive training and years of experience helping clients deal with depression. I can help you learn different ways to think and look at life and help you release unproductive ways of coping that keep you feeling. You can get past feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness and feel better about yourself and your life. I can help you release past memories that still may affect you, and give you energy and hope for the present and future.  

It is my goal to cultivate our relationship by providing a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel understood and heard. To find the method that works best for each individual client struggling with depression, I draw from psychodynamic, humanistic, and existential perspectives. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of modalities into my work with clients including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.  

In my role as a therapist, addressing depression is a profound and compassionate process. Through empathetic listening and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, I work collaboratively with clients to unravel the layers of their emotions and navigate the path toward healing. By fostering a safe space for exploration and implementing personalized strategies, my aim is to empower individuals to regain control over their lives and rediscover the joy that depression may have obscured.
