Although we can work together to try to engage the other person to come, sometimes the other person will refuse to be a part of therapy. A lot of good work can still be done to help a relationship or marriage with one person in therapy, especially since it is the most motivated partner that will come in.

Often children and adolescents do not want to come into therapy. I help them to feel more comfortable by emphasizing that we will not be labeling them as "the problem" because we will be focusing on the family as a whole. I also make sure that they get something they want out of counseling. In worst case scenarios where the child or adolescent really fights the process, I can work primarily with the parents on creating an environment of change in the home.

I have evening hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights

I will fill out all of the necessary paperwork for you to get some reimbursement from your insurance plan. Please call the customer service number on the back of your card to get further information about your "out-of-network" mental health benefits.

Not at this time. In Maryland, the only people who may prescribe medication are licensed medical doctors (MDs), Physician's Assistants (PAs), and Nurse Practitioners (NPs).
