Grounded Place Therapy, LLC

Hi, I'm Renee. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)/Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD), and I'm glad you're here. I understand the pressure of a demanding career because I lived it. Before becoming a therapist, I spent 18 years in federal law enforcement and security, including work in investigative interviewing. I know what it's like to be the one everyone relies on, to push through exhaustion, and to keep going long after your tank is empty. I also know how easy it is to lose yourself in the process. Today, I work with driven, high-achieving professionals, including first responders, leaders, and those in high-stress fields, who are feeling burned out, stretched thin, or disconnected from themselves. Together we'll untangle what's draining you, build boundaries that protect your time and energy, and help you feel steady and in control again, without sacrificing the ambition that got you here. My approach is collaborative, direct, and practical. I draw on EMDR, Narrative Therapy, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring each session to your needs. You'll leave with tools you can use right away, plus space to address the deeper patterns underneath the stress. I offer secure telehealth sessions for adults in Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC, with morning, afternoon, and early evening appointments Monday through Thursday. You've spent years showing up for everyone else. Let this be the place where someone shows up for you.
