In a world of noise, I provide a place of quiet, offering room to focus and think.

Natasha is very laid back in sessions and will work to make you feel comfortable so that we can begin to build trust and hopefully have a positive therapeutic relationship.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Maryland. As an eclectic therapist, I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to create a personalized experience that best supports each client’s unique needs. I believe that no single method works for everyone, so I integrate techniques from various evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and person-centered approaches. My philosophy of helping is rooted in flexibility, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s worldview. I strive to understand your experiences, values, and goals, using different therapeutic tools to support your healing and growth. Whether we are exploring thought patterns, processing emotions, building coping skills, or strengthening relationships, my approach adapts to what works best for you. I have had the privilege of working with individuals across a range of settings, including crisis counseling, family therapy, outpatient therapy, hospitalizations, and with children in the foster care system. I have supported clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood struggles, conduct issues, and family conflicts. Seeking counseling can feel daunting and vulnerable, but my primary goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, accepted, and genuinely cared for. If you're looking for someone who will listen deeply and understand your unique experience, I am here for you. Take that first step, knowing you're not alone. Together, we can begin the journey toward the person you want to become, with all the support and encouragement you deserve.

Welcome! I’m so glad you are reaching out! Finding a therapist who is able to listen and understand your particular needs is key. When I meet with you for the first time, I want to learn who you are as a person. In addition to diagnosis and issues of concern, I want to know your life story. Are there patterns that recur in your life? What are your strengths? What matters to you? Once I have a good understanding, we can decide jointly what approach is likely to help you most. When you come for counseling, you want to start to feel better right away. By incorporating evidence-based coping skills from the first session, I help folks get some immediate stress relief. At the same time, we will also address any underlying issues to achieve more long-term gains.

Feeling overwhelmed by life? Stress feels unmanageable, relationships are strained, and moving forward seems impossible. The constant weight of overwhelm can leave you physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. You long to make peace with a painful past but feel stuck. Unmanaged stress affects every aspect of your life—work, health, and relationships. You recognize the need for change, and starting therapy is a courageous, proactive step toward well-being. I'm here to provide a compassionate, validating space where your thoughts and feelings are heard. Together, we'll work toward healing and a more balanced, fulfilling life. I help individuals and couples navigate emotional regulation, stress, and relationship challenges through evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and somatic therapy. Specializing in mood conditions, trauma, and attachment, I focus on fostering resilience and balance. Using biofeedback, I strengthen the mind-body connection to support lasting healing. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them alone. Whether you’re seeking emotional balance, healing from past wounds, or strengthening your relationships, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll create a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your goals and build the life you deserve. Reach out—I’m ready to help.

Hi there! I’m Claire Buch, a licensed graduate professional counselor (LGPC) located at a private practice in Columbia, Maryland, and I’m here to offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can work through the challenges life throws at you. I work with individuals at various life stages—adolescents, teens, and adults—helping them navigate anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and the other complexities of everyday life. Every individual is unique, which is why I use a variety of evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), culturally sensitive therapy, person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. Life can be difficult, and no one should have to navigate it alone. I’m here to walk alongside you in that journey, providing a space where we can develop the tools to manage life’s challenges. Clients often share that I make them feel safe, heard, and comfortable.

Therapy is a journey that gives us the opportunity to find our genuine selves and ultimately become the best person we can be. Through therapy, profound and lasting change and growth can occur. I am a doctor of psychology as well as a licensed independent clinical social worker. I have deep expertise in working with addiction and recovery issues, alcoholism, as well as family, relationship, and couples issues. I have spent more than 20 years in the psychotherapy field. I work with adolescents and adults, in individual, family, and couple modalities. As a therapist, my approach to therapy is to meet you at your current place in life, and to support you to advance toward your objectives, work past obstacles, and attain supreme growth. I utilize various therapeutic approaches, comprising psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and strength-based techniques.

I’ve been helping teens for 35 yrs and have a good read on the challenges they face and the strategies that are effective in relieving the anxiety, disillusionment, depression, anger, and disconnection that plague so many families. I help teens who are anxious, argumentative, defiant, withdrawn, moody, self-destructive, inattentive, depressed, or doing poorly in school and will help you decide whether the problems you're noticing are part of "typical" teen behavior or a sign of something more serious. I'm also very sensitive to the fact that many children and adolescents aren't interested in counseling and will try to avoid going, even when they themselves know they need help. I believe, however, that by approaching kids with an updated model of therapy offering lively, thought-provoking conversation, genuine contact with a credible adult and a ton of respect, we can get their attention, their engagement, and their willingness to examine things with a fresh eye. That’s what led to my newest book, Therapeutic Conversations with Adolescents: Helping Teens in Therapy Thrive in an Ultra-Competitive, Screen-Saturated World, which reflects my belief that adolescent therapy has needed a new paradigm in order to appeal to today’s kids — something where they wouldn’t be hounded by dumb questions or talked down to, something where they’d find themselves actually wanting to talk. Please visit my website - janetedgette.com - where you'll find many articles on parenting teenagers as well as the free download, "9 Things Your Teenager Wished You Understood Better." You can also check out some of my other books, including Stop Negotiating With Your Teen: Strategies for Parenting Your Angry, Moody, Manipulative or Depressed Adolescent and The Last Boys Picked: Helping Boys Who Don't Play Sports Survive Bullies and Boyhood, and my popular article, "Why Teens Hate Therapy." Examples of the problems I treat: academic decline, moody or manipulative behavior, depression, withdrawal from family, anxiety, problems making or keeping friends, poor self-image or self-esteem, unexplained sadness, self-destructive choices, disrespect toward parents, avoiding responsibility, chronic conflict or tension or disagreements at home, emotional distancing from parents, poor conduct (aggressive, evasive, intimidating), among many other types of issues or conditions. Call or write me. Let's see if I'm the right person to work with you and your family.

I believe that my mission in life is to help others by providing the space in which they can share their struggles and concerns without judgment. Life is difficult, and more than anything else, I think we all crave to be listened to. I enjoy listening, and I like to help others to listen, too. By listening carefully we can create deep connection with others. Strong connection helps make life a bit easier and more enjoyable. Being a therapist has been a dream of mine ever since I was in middle school and my brother brought his introduction to psychology textbook home from college! I love to understand why we all do the things we do, and I enjoy helping others to understand themselves and those around them better, too.
