Our Values
Evidence Based: Providing effective (evidence-based) mental health care for children, families, and adults coping with anxiety and related disorders.
Rockville Therapy Center LLC offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parent child interaction therapy for selective mutism (PCIT-SM), and comprehensive behavioral intervention for tics and Tourette’s (CBIT), which have been validated in research and are considered the gold standard treatments.
Community Oriented: Collaboration and mutually beneficial relationships with community systems inform a deeper understanding of the contexts in which mental health concerns present and guide the resources, services, and offerings at our clinic.
At Rockville Therapy Center LLC, we believe that mental health is not a one person job. When partnering with clients, we design and adapt treatment plans to enhance strengths and complement existing supports and systems (family, schools, clubs, hobby groups). We consistently engage with members of our community via consultations with school teams, other therapists, psychiatrists, pediatricians and others. We offer educational workshops and presentations and biannual (winter and summer) family-based treatment ‘camps.’
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Respect and dignity are essential components to good mental health care and practice. Our work is informed by mission driven, antiracist values, acknowledging our role in systemic oppression, and seeking to develop a more equitable mental health landscape.
At Rockville Therapy Center LLC we engage in active and ongoing personal reflection on the ways our sociocultural identities interact with mental health symptoms/care (e.g., race, gender, sexuality, religion/spirituality, etc.) and receive external consultation to expand our cultural awareness and responsiveness, and continuously adapt our evidenced based procedures to be identity informed, humble, and responsive.
Join us!
We are always interested in therapists whose mission and values are in sync with ours. We value creating a team of clinicians and trainees that hold a variety of socio-cultural identities and are actively engaged in efforts towards allyship for BIPOC communities and others who hold minoritized identities.
