My communication style is compassionate, laid back, and provides a non-judgmental environment.

Accepting new clients for in-person and virtual sessions. Are you stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns with yourself, your family, and maybe even your friends? Do you have difficulty saying “no?” Are you having difficulty with setting and maintaining boundaries that keep you emotionally safe? Unhealthy relationships can leave us heartbroken, unfulfilled, and feeling invisible. We begin to question our own enoughness! We become numb, sad, and disconnected. Sometimes we give up on relationships altogether while longing to be loved and validated. We get stuck between hurting and healing. If you are stuck, we can help. Unstuck Counseling is a therapy practice located in Laurel, MD. Our mission is to heal and eradicate the reverberating effects of trauma in the African American community. We partner with our clients to help them get unstuck! We do this by using culturally sensitive and evidence-based practices to help our clients overcome hurts and create new experiences in the context of a safe, accepting, and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship. Email us today to schedule an appointment. We are waiting to hear from you.

Has the stress of everyday life become too overwhelming? Do you feel your emotions are running high and starting to negatively impact your relationships with others? Maybe you just don’t feel quite like yourself. Maybe you have tried to cope on your own, but nothing seems to make a meaningful, long-term impact. Now more than ever, people are feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to care for their own needs while balancing relationships and busy schedules. Starting therapy can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! I believe finding a therapist who is the right fit is key to lasting change. After an initial consultation, we will start by taking the time to understand the challenges you are facing. We will explore your past and present experiences to better understand the patterns and emotions that have you feeling “stuck,” and we will collaborate on the best plan to help you push through the barriers keeping you in place. I offer a safe and supportive environment while providing a new perspective on issues you are encountering in order to guide you along your healing journey. Helping people live a more confident and empowered life is my passion. The road to growth, change, and healing can be a difficult one, but you don’t have to walk it alone. Call or email today for a consult, and together we can get started on your path to a better life!

I offer clients a compassionate, trauma-informed, neurodivergence-affirming approach that honors both your history and your resilience. My work blends psychological insight with nervous system healing, so we don’t just explore obstacles, we build your capacity to regulate, recover, and reconnect to joy and meaning. Whether you’re seeking clarity through assessment (e.g., attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) evaluation, diagnostic testing) or healing through therapy (anxiety, burnout, relational stress), I tailor sessions to your pace, strengths, and life goals. Healing isn’t about masking pain, it’s about learning to feel more ease, joy, and steadiness in your body while living in alignment with what matters most.

Psychotherapy can help you claim and enjoy more in your life. We can all use help in finding our way at different times in our lives. You may be ready for more happiness in your life, more satisfaction, creativity, success, confidence, peace, friendships - or greater depth to your relationships. You may not have been able to find it on your own. I have experience, training, compassion and a mindful approach that can help you develop traction on the path that is truly yours. My focus is on helping you develop your ability to see yourself, your circumstances and your challenges with a fresh eye, allowing your to create the changes in your life that you really want. To the work that we can do together, I bring over fifteen years of experience as a psychotherapist, plus a depth of understanding from my experience as a husband and father and from my experience as a firefighter and paramedic. The work that I do is not about being broken or ill; it is about being more alive: * Shifting away from negative anticipation and belief in powerlessness, toward actualizing your own authentic power and vitality * Increasing creativity in your life * Living a life infused with clarity as to the abundance available to you, on place of an expectation of scarcity * Discovering the relief and pleasure in living authentically, honestly, as the "real you" * Feeling your feelings, all of them, more fully and with less fear * Finding the pleasure of taking relationships to a deeper level; enlivening friendships and reinvigorating relationships gone stale * Moving beyond the pain of the past - physical, emotional, spiritual or otherwise; letting go of outdated, limiting ideas or beliefs about yourself and finding joy in being alive. You can do this. We'll work to get you there.

Teletherapy available. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship issues, infertility, stress and coping, life transitions, and health issues. All of us have moments in our lives when we feel like we're struggling. Having someone to talk to and a place where you can go to feel supported can make all the difference. Maybe you're feeling exhausted, nervous, hopeless, confused, or frustrated. Or maybe you don't know what you're feeling, just that you're not feeling like yourself. We will work together to help you get to a better place. Our therapy relationship will be built on genuineness, warmth, acceptance, trust, and openness. No feeling or situation lasts forever and you can feel better.

I offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life's difficulties. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or trauma, I can provide the support and tools you need to heal and grow. I'm here to listen without judgment and offer guidance on your journey toward healing and well-being. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. I believe in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Through therapy, we'll work collaboratively to identify your strengths, develop practical solutions, and empower you to live a fulfilling life.

You want more for yourself in every way: mentally, physically, and emotionally. But lately, the pressure is weighing on you. The constant racing thoughts, the anxiety about what's coming next, the self-doubt that keeps you second-guessing every decision, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness that makes it hard to stay afloat. You deserve to break free from this cycle and regain control. Life can feel like a constant juggling act—work, relationships, and the pressure to always be "on." If you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, or just feeling stuck in the chaos of modern life, you’re not alone. As your therapist, I’m here to help you make sense of the mess and give you the tools to regain balance. In our sessions, you’ll find a space to talk openly about your stress and challenges without fear of judgment. We’ll explore what's causing your discomfort and work through it together. You don’t have to have it all figured out—life is messy. We’ll dive into the pressures you’re facing and help you recognize that it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. You’ll learn evidence-based strategies like CBT and mindfulness to reduce stress, set boundaries, and make space for what truly matters to you—without guilt or burnout. Therapy is about your growth, not a race. Whether you need quick relief or long-term support, we’ll go at a pace that feels right for you. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be fulfilling. Together, we’ll create a plan to help you thrive, even through the messiness. Ready to stop just surviving and start thriving? Let’s work together to build a resilient life you love. Everyone handles life's challenges differently with different levels of support. All it takes is one supportive person in your life to be the catalyst for change. I can be that support.

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.

I work with clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, who have all come to a shared realization: that their way of living is no longer working for them. Whether you are struggling with addiction or depression or find yourself experiencing relationship difficulties, you aspire to something new; something more. Together we identify the nature of your particular dissatisfaction, discover how you got here, and develop a more desirable and sustainable way of life. I believe that my role is to be a nonjudgmental companion to you on your unique journey of self-discovery and profound change.
