My name is Dr. Ori Onazi, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland and Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over eight years of experience in mental health counseling, education, and research. My background includes school counseling, outpatient psychotherapy, and counselor education, allowing me to provide compassionate, evidence-based care grounded in both clinical expertise and cultural understanding.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As a first-generation African immigrant, I am especially passionate about supporting individuals navigating cultural identity, immigration experiences, family dynamics, and other challenges often faced by underserved communities.

I believe healing begins when people feel seen, heard, and empowered. Whether you are seeking support, personal growth, or lasting change, I am here to help you move forward with confidence and purpose.

You deserve care that honors every part of who you are. I'm here when you're ready.

Hi! My name is Shannen Anderson and I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from William James College in Newton, Massachusetts. I am an Army Veteran and specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, and life transitions and have experience helping individuals of all age ranges. I am passionate and committed to supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges and fostering personal growth.

My name is Laura and I have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked with children as young as 5 through adulthood to age 85. I opened my practice in 2020 and have enjoyed being a therapist more than I thought I would. I have a Masters degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Christopher Newport University.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, ADHD, depression, or family challenges start to take over. You may find yourself stuck in unhelpful patterns or unsure how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to slow down, sort through what’s happening, and discover practical tools for lasting change. Together, we’ll focus on building emotional resilience, improving relationships, and helping you feel more confident and in control of your life.

I work with individual adults and certain families who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, sensitive, anxious, or defeated. If you're feeling heavy by everything going on, or feeling frantic, or having conflict in your relationships or are just feeling lost in any way, I would love to see if I can help! I also work with family units going through transition or strain, such as conflict between a parent and their adult child, or supporting parents who are experiencing difficult things with their child or teen.

I have a lot of experience helping people through loss, whether it's a breakup, losing a job, or a loved one - including loss of a pet, which is a specialty of mine. I have special interest in supporting other therapists, and also community organizers and activists who are engaged in social justice work. Many of my clients are trans or NB, and others are gay, lesbian, or queer. Poly and kink affirming.

I offer telehealth services to clients in California, Idaho, Washington, or Virginia.

You're the one people call when things fall apart. You're good at it — steady, competent, the person who knows what to do. And somewhere along the way you stopped having anywhere to put your own stuff.

So you can run the meeting, hold the crisis, answer the phone at 2 a.m. — and still not be able to make yourself open the mail. Competence and collapse live together far more often than anyone admits out loud.

I work with adults carrying that particular load: substance use and recovery, emotions that arrive at full volume with no dimmer switch, thoughts of self-harm or not wanting to be here, and the specific erosion that comes from caring for other people for a living. Helpers, clinicians, parents, first responders — people whose exhaustion doesn't have an obvious place to go. I work with teenagers too, often the ones in families like these.

My style is direct, warm, and collaborative. I'm not going to nod quietly for fifty minutes. We'll find what's actually driving things, build skills you can use on a Tuesday afternoon when it counts, and I'll tell you honestly what I'm seeing. You set the pace. I'll bring the structure.

Welcome--I'm glad that you're here. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a master's degree from the University of Maryland. I specialize in anxiety, panic, OCD, trauma, depression, trust issues, self-esteem, life changes and anger management. I approach every client with openness and without judgment, always appreciating their individuality. I believe everyone has their own story, so I listen carefully and reflect thoughtfully. Beyond that, I work to identify practical solutions to help you achieve your goals and enhance your life.
