Our Approach:

At By Your Side Counseling Services, LLC, we believe that effective therapy begins with a genuine relationship that is built on warmth, empathy, and authenticity. Life can be challenging, and during difficult times, it helps to have a therapist who truly understands you and is by your side to provide you with compassion and care.

We recognize that each person is unique, and that’s why we tailor therapy to fit your individual needs. Our approach combines talk therapy with evidence-based interventions to foster connection, self-discovery, and a deeper appreciation of your own uniqueness.

Our therapeutic offerings include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), perinatal mental health counseling, mindfulness practices, supportive counseling, relationship skills, and problem-solving strategies.

Therapy doesn’t always have to be heavy or intense. We believe in celebrating your strengths and helping you find joy, laughter, and a sense of contentment along the way.

Our Ideal Client: You.

You are welcome here regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, age, ability, immigration status, background, religion, or any other distinguishing factor. You don’t have to be anyone but yourself when you’re at By Your Side Counseling Services, LLC.

We are currently providing in-person sessions in Frederick, MD and virtual telehealth therapy sessions for children, teens, adults, families, and couples throughout the state of Maryland.
