Healing requires safety, but it also requires courage. Growth happens when insight turns into action. At Catalyst, we integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions with deeper work around meaning, identity, and long-standing emotional patterns.
High achievers often minimize their own pain because they are used to pushing through. But unprocessed trauma and chronic stress do not disappear. They surface in relationships, in leadership decisions, in parenting, and in the body.
Therapy is not about “fixing” you. It is about understanding what shaped you, identifying what is blocking you, and helping you build a life aligned with your values.
We believe in kindness without passivity. Depth without overwhelm. Structure without rigidity.
Catalyst Counseling is a growing team of trauma-informed therapists serving clients across Maryland and Virginia through secure telehealth counseling.
Each clinician brings specialized training and a shared commitment to thoughtful, ethical, and compassionate care. Our therapists work with adults and couples facing:
• Anxiety and depression
• Trauma and PTSD
• Burnout and high-performance stress
• Relationship and communication challenges
• Life transitions and identity shifts
While each therapist has unique strengths and specialties, we are unified by a belief that therapy should be intentional, grounded, and transformative.
When you work with Catalyst, you are not entering a one-size-fits-all model. You are working with clinicians who value depth, accountability, and meaningful change.
We are committed to helping individuals and couples move from hidden pain to purposeful living.
We serve professionals, leaders, parents, and partners who want more than symptom relief. They want alignment. They want clarity. They want relationships that feel secure and authentic.
Catalyst exists to help you do that work — thoughtfully, courageously, and with support.
Give your mind a space to rest, refocus, and regain balance. Every step counts toward lasting well-being.
Licensed therapists with advanced training in trauma, EMDR, and more.
Every treatment plan is tailored to your unique needs and goals
Telehealth, evening hours, and insurance accepted for accessibility
Our experienced team is committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care in a safe and welcoming environment.
