Find a Therapist in Greenbelt, MD

I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can speak freely, feeling heard and understood. My approach balances assertiveness and compassion, offering honest feedback while maintaining empathy and support.

I utilize a straightforward but compassionate approach with my clients assisting them to be solution-oriented in their journey with support and guidance through counseling techniques. I meet every situation with a non-judgmental, open-minded status, knowing that no two people will show the same symptoms or any concerns they may be struggling through at that current time.

While my practice, Psychological Healthcare, includes many individuals, my specialty is working with couples. In addition to coping with the stress of everyday life, I have extensive experience helping people with infidelity, boundary issues, family challenges, conflict resolution difficulties, anger management, loss of intimacy, trust issues, parenting disagreements, and blended family challenges. Everyone I work with has a different combination of goals. Whether I am working with an individual or a couple, I strive to help my clients not only achieve their goals, but also live a more fulfilling life. For over 25 years, I have seen many couples begin treatment on the edge of a break-up or divorce and find their way forward. In fact, the vast majority of couples have moved forward with a renewed focus and commitment to each other. For most couples, my approach is to help quickly stabilize the situation, focus on any necessary repair work, build relationship skills, and maintain an ongoing pattern of success.

At Kaltum Counseling & Recovery, PLLC, I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, emotional burnout, relationship concerns, substance use challenges, and life transitions. Using a compassionate, culturally sensitive, and evidence-based approach, I support clients in strengthening coping skills, improving emotional wellness, and working toward meaningful healing, growth, and healthier relationships. My goal is to help clients feel supported while creating lasting, positive change.

I believe that the innate nature of human beings is to survive and be well, and that varying degrees of life experience and trauma create psychic structures that inhibit that natural process from occurring. My job is to help client's develop compassionate awareness for these structures that are no longer functional in their lives and help them to build tolerance for the underlying feelings being protected by these structures. And ultimately to help client's choose and develop healthier more functional thoughts, feelings and behaviors to expand their well being, life satisfaction and treat themselves with loving kindness.

I believe the relationship or "fit" between the therapist and the client is one of the most important factors in psychotherapy. With a trusted, compassionate therapist, you will talk through everything that is on your mind and receive professional advice and honest, caring feedback. You can put your thoughts into words without feeling dismissed or judged. Therapy will help you relieve current struggles and feelings, experience more self-confidence, make better decisions, feel in control of your life and relationships, and resolve painful past and current experiences and traumas. I will work with you to identify and understand underlying issues or patterns that may contribute to your current struggles. We will work to develop new approaches and alternative ways to manage relationships and struggles.

If you’re feeling stuck—knowing what’s hard but unsure how to break through—you're not alone. Whether you're grappling with trauma, anxiety, or the lasting effects of sexual or domestic abuse, it’s normal to feel uncertain about the next step. Therapy can be a safe and powerful space to unpack these struggles, find clarity, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. Together, we will empower you, helping you take control of your life and build deeper, more meaningful connections—with yourself, others, and the world. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone; healing is possible. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, focusing on genuineness, warmth, and unconditional positive regard. With a trauma-focused lens, I integrate IFS, Gestalt, mindful self-compassion, and mindfulness techniques. This holistic approach helps clients heal, gain insight, and build resilience on their journey to growth and recovery. Life is already hard enough without trauma; allow yourself the opportunity to unburden, learn new strategies and perspectives, and start living authentically. If you are ready to begin this chapter in your healing journey, please reach out today. I look forward to our work together.
