Please take a moment to read our treatment statements to better assist you in your provider selection decision making process.
Shannon Holmes, LCMFT, LMFT, RPT™
Owner and Supervisor
As a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Maryland, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Virginia, and a Registered Play Therapist™, I work with individuals, couples, and families, to include children and adults. With a multicultural lens and as a person-centered therapist, I will support you with a collaborative focus throughout the therapeutic process. I utilize Play Therapy and Behavioral Therapy modalities while working with children. I employ Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples, families, and individuals to build upon secure, trusting, and long-lasting relationships. I also provide EMDR treatment to children and adult individuals. I support people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relational difficulties, school challenges, and compulsive behaviors to intensify self-empowerment and build upon strong family connections.

Camina Hirota-Lee, LCMFT
As a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. I have clinical experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, bipolar, trauma, and issues affecting the LGBTQ+ community. I work from a multicultural perspective while utilizing techniques from solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy models. My goal is to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment where you can address the challenges preventing you from living at your best. Using reflective listening and empathy, I enjoy collaborating with my clients to heal from past hurt, manage school or career stressors, work through relationship conflicts, and establish meaningful connections with others. My hope is to help you find your strengths and feel empowered to make positive changes.

Samantha Bauer, LCPC
I provide individual therapy sessions as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Maryland to teens and adults. I have clinical experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, school difficulties, and challenging relationship issues. In the therapy space, I aim to help create a welcoming environment where you feel safe to be yourself. My therapy approach lays on a trauma-informed, social justice foundation – this means I consider and integrate the effects of trauma, systematic oppression, and social factors during our time together. I utilize a person-centered approach, so you are leading the therapy session while I gently guide. I realize this approach is not for everyone, so I am as directive as you need! We will discuss different perspectives; identify unpleasant emotions; challenge unhelpful thinking
patterns; and much more during our time together. I want you to trust the process and me so much that you feel comfortable enough to let me know when your comfortability is broken even if you don’t like confrontation. I am happy to answer any and all questions at any point during the process! My hope is you leave therapy feeling heard and valued while making positive changes to your life.

Jordan Cox (Wagner), LCMFT
As a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, I provide individual, family, and couples therapy. I have clinical experience working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, grief/loss, trauma, body image issues, and self esteem. I aim to create a safe, welcoming environment where we can work as a team to foster self awareness, build insight into current issues, develop tools to navigate life challenges, and create and sustain meaningful change. When working with clients with eating disorders, I utilize enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy to provide evidence-based treatment and work towards recovery. I have an eclectic approach with couples, and pull from Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help couples address conflict, strengthen their friendship, and build healthy, loving connections.
