My name is Randi Hamilton and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor. I have worked with people with various diagnoses of all ages, although I enjoy working with the young adult population (20s).

I enjoy using CBT and DBT techniques helping clients challenge their thoughts to evaluate the truthfulness and to come up with alternate, more realistic thoughts. Concepts within DBT are so important to be aware of, and practice, like mindfulness and acceptance.

Come share your journey with me in my oasis of possibilities.

I am a licensed Social Worker (LMSW) in Maryland and I graduated from Salisbury University. I have experience working with people of all ages, with different cultural backgrounds, and experiencing various mental health challenges. Much of my experience comes from working with adults recovering from addictions and I am very knowledgeable about different recovery programs. I have worked with youth (ages 5-17) from traditionally under-served communities and I have worked in hospital-based crisis-intervention services. I am happy to offer a safe space for people of all identities and I proudly identify myself as a 2SLGBTQIA+ ally.

I often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques (CBT) such as analyzing cognitive distortions that are creating distress for my clients. I also am very enthusiastic about Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) including the modalities of deep-breathing techniques and mindfulness/meditation to help my clients learn how to regulate their emotions.

I strongly believe in approaching life from the perspective of "one day at a time" and striving for acceptance of whatever life throws our way. My deep sense of empathy enables me to "put myself in another person's shoes" and thoroughly identify with my clients' struggles and difficult feelings they are experiencing.
