Village Counseling - Ellicott City

Dedicated therapy for children, first responders, LGBTQ+ clients, and working professionals gives Village Counseling several focused pathways alongside individual, couples, family, and group counseling in Ellicott City. The practice addresses anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, relationship concerns, stress, grief, and anger. Clients can also meet virtually, including through same-day telehealth appointments available from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

How Therapy Is Structured

Therapists use culturally competent, evidence-based practices and select approaches based on the service and concern being addressed. Individual and group counseling use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, while other services incorporate motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy. The practice also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and art therapy, with play-based approaches in child therapy. Individual sessions typically last 53-60 minutes, and most groups meet weekly.

Therapy Tailored to Specific Groups

Focused services address the distinct concerns of first responders, LGBTQ+ clients, professionals, and children. First responder therapy includes individual counseling, group therapy, stress management workshops, and resilience training for trauma, stress, and burnout. LGBTQ+ therapy addresses identity, coming out, discrimination, and relationships, while professional therapy focuses on burnout, work-life integration, and career transitions. Child therapists address depression and self-harm and may involve parents through updates, joint sessions, or selected interventions.
