Naomi Weller

I have been licensed and providing mental health services, supervision, and clinical oversight for thirty years. My work settings have been varied, such as outpatient mental health facilities, residential treatment centers, foster care, and special education schools, while counseling diverse clients of all ages. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing are the main evidenced- based treatments that I use. I specialize in treating clients with trauma background, anxiety, and children/adults on the Autism Spectrum. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan and my Masters in Social Work degree from the School of Social Work at University of Maryland at Baltimore.My philosophy is that of support and encouragement, and understanding that a person’s experience is unique and multi-layered.

I believe in empowering clients, helping them improve their mental well-being and guiding them toward the changes they wish to make. The alliance and rapport between a therapist and client is the key to success, offering a collaborative, warm and comfortable place so clients may discover their path toward growth and healing. Though therapy is serious work, I also incorporate structure and humor into each session.

Beginning therapy—whether it's your first session or a return to care—takes bravery, patience, and perseverance. You will not be alone in this journey. In our initial session, we will first and foremost strive to understand your unique reasons for seeking therapy, your current needs, and your personal goals. This includes gathering past and current information to begin mapping the contributing factors to your concerns. Together, we will build a safe space to explore where you are and where you want to be.
