Counseling and Therapy from the Comfort of Your Home

I specialize in treating anxieties and feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for your specific definable problems, as well as addressing your generalized angst and emotional distress for which solutions seem elusive. We’ll not just manage your symptoms – we’ll reinterpret the constructs you’ve been operating from (perhaps years) because of trauma or other experiences that cause your feelings of anxiety and depression. Together, we’ll build new ways of thinking, behaving, and responding to your past, present and future challenges. Please call. 

On the outside, clients like yourself are stable, purposeful, successful and content. But they quickly express that inside they’re struggling; overwhelmed and alone with feelings of anxiety, stress, frustration and even sadness. Sometimes, my clients report that life seems persistently harder than a while ago, but aren’t sure why. Maybe feeling stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns, or have specific problems that seem intractable. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital conflicts (even divorce), or parental child or adolescent challenges – a ‘Polycrisis Syndrome’. Often clients feel estranged from themselves and family, with goals that seem ambiguous or appear unachievable. Many clients want to be heard, validated and acknowledged. I’ll listen. We’ll work together to change that and restore your self-confidence, direction and a strong sense of satisfaction. 

I offer effective help with problem-solving, marital conflict resolution and reconnection to yourself. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. 

I help with:

• Work and career-related stress and anxiety
• Relationship challenges in marriage and parenting for busy couples
• Enhancing motivation
• Designing practical paths forward when you feel stuck and overwhelmed
• Understanding and resolving how past experiences shape current responses
• Life transitions and career choices
• Cessation of coping strategies that have long stopped working (alcohol, avoidance, excessive social media use, overwork)

Please call. I continue to offer ‘Tele-Therapy’ through Skype, WhatsApp & Zoom. Call 410-970-4917, or Text 917-684-9650 or email edgewaterpsychotherapy@gmail.com for consultation.

“My broad spectrum of personal and professional experiences make me an open, warm and compassionate therapist. I’ll balance the need to listen and validate your feeling with urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I am a practical person too: I’ll help you develop problem-solving strategies as much as changing constructs to react differently to life’s experiences and challenges. My goal is to help you create the happy, peaceful and fulfilling life you envision. I thoroughly enjoy my work and look forward to helping you.” – Dr. Melvyn P. Heyes, LCSW-C.
