Online therapy · Bowie, MD
Therapy that does not ask you to explain your background.
Online therapy for adults and couples in Bowie and across Prince George's County, in English or French.
A recurring reason people stop going to therapy is the work required in the room before the work can start: explaining a family structure, a faith community, an expectation about what is discussed outside the household and what is not.
The practice is built to make that explanation shorter. Culture is treated as part of the clinical picture rather than as a preface to it.
Who this is for in Bowie
Adults and couples in Bowie, Mitchellville, Upper Marlboro and across Prince George's County. Federal and county employees, educators, healthcare and public-sector workers, and a large established professional community.
The county is also one of the most internationally connected in Maryland, with substantial West African, Caribbean and Francophone populations, and sessions are available in French throughout.
What tends to bring people in
Anxiety and depression that have been carried quietly for a long time, grief, and the strain of being the person in a family that everyone else relies on.
Couples and relationship work, and the questions that arrive mid-career about whether the life being led was actually chosen or inherited.
A few markers before you get in touch.
Obligation and expectation
Much of the difficulty people bring here began as somebody else's script: a family expectation, a professional identity, a role in a community that no longer fits the person holding it.
The work is to see the pattern clearly first, and only then to decide what to do about it. Understanding before decisions, in that order.
Practical details
Individual sessions are $180 for 53 to 60 minutes; couples sessions are $280 for 75 minutes. There is no fee to cancel more than 24 hours ahead, and $130 inside that window.
All sessions are by secure video on a HIPAA-compliant platform, and you must be in Maryland at the time. Enquiries are answered within 24 to 48 hours, and 988 is available at any hour.
