Sarah Moss, LGPC
Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC)
Hello! My name is Sarah, and I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor licensure (LGPC) and with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Towson University. My aim as a therapist is to help clients develop understanding and compassion for themselves and to encourage growth.
I also enjoy working with children, teens & young adults and supporting them through the challenges that come with growing up. I aim to create a comfortable, supportive space where young clients can talk about what they’re experiencing, whether that’s anxiety, school stress, self-esteem, family changes, or relationship concerns. I use age-appropriate, evidence-based approaches and creative tools to meet each child where they are, and when helpful, I collaborate with caregivers to support positive communication and growth.
Mark (QingYuan) Wang, LGPC
Provisional Therapist under supervision
I utilize evidence-based therapies including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).
My core philosophy centers around the concept of "in-sight" bringing new perceptions about yourself, others, and the world into your sight. By examining your life from different perspectives, you'll contact deeper emotional experiences and enriched self-understanding.
