She has experience working with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, life transitions, and stress management.
Leslie completed her Master of Social Work (MSW) at the University of Maryland.

As a woman who experienced trauma at an early age, I understand how it can affect our behaviors and feelings. Emotion regulation skills are very valuable to everyone.
My name is Randi Hamilton and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I have worked with people with various diagnoses of all ages, although I enjoy working with the young adult population (20s).
I enjoy using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques helping clients challenge their thoughts to evaluate the truthfulness and to come up with alternate, more realistic thoughts. Concepts within DBT are so important to be aware of, and practice, like mindfulness and acceptance.
Come share your journey with me in my oasis of possibilities.

I have extensive experience with many mental health diagnoses, and I feel that this makes me a very empathic therapist.
I have experience in inpatient mental health, outpatient mental health, and private practice settings. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of Maryland and also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor. I work with clients of many mental health issues and typically work with children, adolescents, and adults. I work primarily with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, and other mental health diagnoses as well.
I am an eclectic therapist and primarily work from a CBT theoretical background including techniques from other theoretical backgrounds as well.
I offer a calm, warm, and empathetic space for clients to work through their mental health struggles without judgement. I invite you to schedule an appointment to start your journey to achieving your fullest potential.

My passion in life is to help others with whatever difficulties they are facing, whether that be psychiatric troubles, ordinary life stressors or addictions.
I am a licensed Social Worker (LMSW) in Maryland and I graduated from Salisbury University. I have experience working with people of all ages, with different cultural backgrounds, and experiencing various mental health challenges. Much of my experience comes from working with adults recovering from addictions and I am very knowledgeable about different recovery programs. I have worked with youth (ages 5-17) from traditionally under-served communities and I have worked in hospital-based crisis-intervention services. I am happy to offer a safe space for people of all identities and I proudly identify myself as a 2SLGBTQIA+ ally.
I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) such as analyzing cognitive distortions that are creating distress for my clients. I also am very enthusiastic about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) including the modalities of deep-breathing techniques and mindfulness/meditation to help my clients learn how to regulate their emotions.
I strongly believe in approaching life from the perspective of "one day at a time" and striving for acceptance of whatever life throws our way. My deep sense of empathy enables me to "put myself in another person's shoes" and thoroughly identify with my clients' struggles and difficult feelings they are experiencing.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is typically using a psychodynamic lens. Although it doesn't always explain everything, what goes on in childhood and within the important relationships in early life is often a big part of how we interact with each other and within the world. It is very gratifying to see clients be able to connect the dots and break cycles. On a simpler level, I find that validation and normalizing what someone's feelings connected to an experience are, are super helpful.
Some tools I teach in individual therapy include:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they tell me they feel like themselves again. If any goal of any caliber is getting worked towards or accomplished, that is meaningful progress to me.
Focus on self-care! Monitoring sleeping and eating patterns/habits, getting physical exercise, and engaging in mindfulness practices (deep breathing exercises, meditation, etc.) outside of sessions.
To prepare for your first individual therapy session, it's helpful to get an idea of what you want things to look like, and what you want to be different after being in therapy.
Individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, allows people to engage in private sessions with a skilled therapist, counselor, or psychologist. The core objective of individual therapy is to establish a secure and confidential setting where you can openly discuss whatever emotional, psychological, or behavioral challenges you face. Through these one-on-one sessions, the client and therapist work together to delve into, comprehend, and ultimately find solutions for the issues at hand in their life.
Individual therapy unfolds in a structured process, commencing with an initial assessment in which the therapist gathers essential information about your history, concerns, and objectives. Together, you and your therapist collaboratively establish specific, attainable goals for your sessions, which can encompass symptom alleviation, personal development, or finding solutions to particular challenges.
Yes, individual therapy, also known as Individual therapy, at Thriveworks can help you to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
Individual therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of your individual therapy sessions will vary. The decision on the number and frequency of sessions is typically collaboratively determined by the client and therapist.
