Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Katie Noel Sherwood
Pre-Licensed Professional, MSW
Life can be overwhelming at times and sometimes you are in need of extra support, guidance and a safe space along the way. My hope is to walk alongside you in your journey and help you reach the goals you want for yourself and your life and provide a safe space for healing and growth. I have spent years developing my skills and knowledge by working with adults, adolescents and children who have experienced trauma and family issues. I have experience in working with individuals who have struggled with couple issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD, sexual exploitation, grief and loss. I am currently seeing clients aged 14+.
I am a firm believer that no one treatment modality is the answer for everyone. I use a combination of different therapy modalities such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), as well as EMDR.

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.

John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Hi there! I'm John, a Resident in Counseling hailing from the beautiful state of Virginia. My professional journey is fueled by a special interest in tackling LGBTQIA+ issues, relational conflicts, life transitions, and more. I firmly believe in creating a safe haven for clients to explore their concerns, and I integrate various therapeutic modalities like trauma-informed, client-centered, and acceptance and commitment therapy into my practice.
Armed with Master's degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Forensic and Legal Psychology from Marymount University, I'm an active member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, an international counseling academic honor society.
Before joining CCG, I honed my skills at a DC community health center, where I had the privilege of working closely with the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals dealing with chronic conditions. My experiences ranged from navigating complex trauma to supporting clients through discrimination, chronic illness, and the nuances of the coming out process.
Beyond the counseling realm, you'll find me savoring the joys of cooking, exploring new destinations, delving into a good book, and relishing quality time with friends and family.
