Supporting your journey toward peace, purpose, and possibility.

Counseling in La Plata, MD

YOU'RE NOTE ALONE. You’re doing your best to keep it all together, but the stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion keep building.

​

Maybe you’ve noticed changes in your mood, your motivation, or your child’s behavior. 

​

You just want to feel more like yourself again… and you’re ready for support that truly understands.

At Expanding Horizons Counseling and Wellness, we meet you where you are with compassion, understanding, and practical tools to help you move forward.

Our therapists provide a safe, judgment-free space to explore what’s going on and create meaningful change at your own pace.

We support clients across the lifespan, offering developmentally appropriate care at every stage.

For young children, we use play therapy and expressive techniques that help them communicate, process emotions, and build healthy coping skills in a natural, safe way. We partner closely with parents as children navigate big feelings, behavioral challenges, anxiety, or family transitions.


We also work extensively with teens facing the pressures of adolescence - anxiety, depression, social stress, academic demands, and identity exploration. Our approach blends structure, empathy, and practical strategies to help them feel understood, empowered, and more in control.


For adults, we provide compassionate support through life’s many seasons, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and major transitions. Whether you’re navigating a difficult chapter or seeking growth, we create a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal, reflect, and move forward with confidence.


No matter your age or stage of life, we’re here to meet you where you are and walk with you toward meaningful change.

We’re a heart-centered practice that goes the extra mile for our clients.

We pride ourselves on reliable, responsive care and a team approach that makes every client feel seen, valued, and supported.

 

You’ll experience warmth and follow-through from the moment you reach out.

We believe therapy should be as unique as the person sitting with us.

That’s why we tailor our approach to each client’s individual needs, goals, and readiness for change. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic modalities to support meaningful, lasting growth.


Our clinicians integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to strengthen emotion regulation and coping skills; and trauma-focused interventions to promote healing from past experiences. For children, we use child-centered play therapy and expressive techniques that allow young clients to process emotions in ways that feel natural and developmentally appropriate. We also incorporate mindfulness practices and nervous system regulation strategies to help clients cultivate resilience, calm, and body-based awareness.


No matter which tools we use, our heart remains the same: to create a safe, supportive environment where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. Your goals guide the process, and together, we create a path toward healing that honors your story and supports your growth.

Our values guide every interaction, with clients and within our team.

WE ARE DEEPLY CLIENT-CENTERED, ALWAYS PRIORITIZING THE WELL-BEING, GOALS, AND LIVED EXPERIENCES OF THOSE WHO TRUST US WITH THEIR CARE. PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY SUPPORT ISN’T JUST OUR MISSION. IT’S OUR DAILY COMMITMENT.

Our culture is grounded in compassion, creativity, and authenticity. We believe healing happens best when clients feel safe to be themselves and when clinicians bring warmth, openness, and integrity to each session. Ethics shape our choices, dependability anchors our work, and a shared dedication to growth keeps us learning and improving.
