Individualized. Collaborative. Human-to-Human.

We do things a little differently around here. With an expansive toolkit of therapy approaches and years of experience, we first to get to know you and let the therapy support what you need at the moment. We can share about why we’re having certain conversations or using a specific method if you want, and you always have space to share what is working and what isn’t.

Here at Rock Creek Counseling we believe in resilience and the capacity of the human spirit.

Expand Your Coping and Find Who You Want to Be

This is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and finding balance. At this point in your life you’ve been coping for a long time. Ultimately that is proof that something is already working! It’s just a matter of discovering what that is, amplifying it, and building on it. You already know what you need, but you need help to see it and a plan to implement it - making it work for you over and over.

The world needs who you were made to be

Testimonials

“Thank you so much for helping my daughter deal with her anxiety. Prior to coming to you, she was so afraid of change. You've given us the tools we needed to manage her anxiety and I am so proud and happy with how far we have all come. Thank you so much! You have improved all of our lives.”

HENRY

“Chana was there for me at my most vulnerable, as a new first-time mom, and helped me through postpartum anxiety. Allowing me to stop being scared all the time and start actually enjoying time with my new son. My experience with Chana has freed me from anxiety issues that I have been living with for a long time. Thanks to Chana and my son, I now have a sense of relief about the future in a way I never expected.”

SARA
