Online therapy · Columbia, MD
For people in Columbia who are functioning, and tired.
Online therapy for adults and couples in Columbia and across Howard County, in English or French.
Columbia was designed around the idea that a life could be well organised. For a lot of people here it is: the schools, the career, the house, the schedule. That can make it unusually hard to say that something is wrong, because nothing visible is.
A good deal of the work in Howard County is with people whose difficulty is invisible from the outside, and who have been managing it competently for years.
Who this is for in Columbia
Adults and couples across Columbia, Ellicott City, Clarksville and the rest of Howard County. Many work in research, engineering, medicine, federal contracting or education, in roles where competence is the identity and admitting strain feels costly.
Two-career couples are a frequent presentation, usually arriving when the logistics have been solved and the relationship has quietly gone unattended.

What tends to bring people in
High-functioning anxiety, burnout that a holiday does not touch, and couples who have become efficient co-managers of a household rather than partners.
Also the questions that arrive when the plan has been completed: the career reached, the children older, and the sense that the goals were someone else's to begin with.
A few markers before you get in touch.

Why telehealth suits Howard County
