Individual Therapy
Online and In-Person therapy for People of Maryland
What You Can Expect
At SafeSpace Counseling Services, individual therapy is a one-on-one space where you can talk openly about your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. It’s a place to slow down, reflect, and focus on what matters most to you.
Individual therapy can support healing, self-understanding, and personal growth. Together, you and your therapist work toward gaining insight, developing coping skills, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF…
You feel overwhelmed and aren’t sure where to start
You’re carrying emotions that feel heavy or hard to talk about
You want to understand yourself better
You struggle with anxiety, stress, or low mood
You’ve been through difficult or painful experiences
You want healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges
You’re going through a transition or change
You’re ready to invest in your growth and well-being
Our Approach
At SafeSpace Counseling Services, our therapists use a variety of evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches. Because every person is different, we do not use a one-size-fits-all model. Your therapist will collaborate with you to find the approaches that best support your needs, goals, and comfort level.
Some of the approaches our counselors may use include:
Brainspotting
A gentle, focused approach that helps access and process deeper emotional and physical experiences. Brainspotting can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and stress, allowing healing to happen at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT supports you in building psychological flexibility, learning to make space for difficult thoughts and emotions, and taking meaningful steps toward the life you want to live. It focuses on values, mindfulness, and practical tools for everyday life.
Play Therapy
Play therapy is often used with children and adolescents to help them express thoughts and feelings in ways that feel natural and safe. Through play, creativity, and connection, children can explore experiences, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional regulation.
Your therapist will talk with you about which approaches feel like the best fit and may integrate different methods over time to support your growth and healing.
