A Practical, Personal, and Collaborative Approach

Welcome!

Rockville Therapy Center LLC is dedicated to a strengths-based approach to help you reduce suffering and improve social, emotional, and behavioral health. Our aim is to offer effective therapy that is grounded in scientific research, the unique aspects of who you are, and is delivered in a practical, personalized and collaborative way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the main approach used at Rockville Therapy Center LLC, is a short-term, evidence-based therapy approach designed to improve mental health and well being. Exposure- based CBT helps you to gradually and directly face your fears and other strong emotions. We create a fear hierarchy or ‘ladder’ together from easier to more difficult exposures. Individuals of all ages benefit from learning tools to manage distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that each and every session is productive. We believe in personalizing CBT based on client identities (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation, etc.) to increase its effectiveness.

Contact us today for services for Selective Mutism, Tics and Tourette’s, and Group Therapy for Teen Social Anxiety and to schedule a 15-minute no-cost phone consultation.
