When I started working with Frayda a few months ago I was deeply depressed, struggling with my identity, and overwhelmed by the world around me. I just knew that I needed help, and I could've never imagined that we would come so far in such a short time. Today - with her help - I can not only visualize my future, but I am actively shaping it, and excited for it. The seed of hope that she planted within me has been nurtured into action by her guidance. Frayda has equipped me with tools that will help to establish success and ensure my well-being for the rest of my life. Each session I felt heard, understood, and walked away with valuable insights and actions to help me help myself and those around me. These sessions have been invaluable and I will be forever grateful.

More about me
Licensing: LCSW-C Years in Practice: 44 State: Maryland
I am a psychotherapist with 44 years of experience. I am licensed in Maryland as a LCSW-C and am a Board Certified Supervisor. I primarily worked at Kaiser Permanente until 2017 and have since supervised privately. I am now wanting to return to offering therapy through the teletherapy format.
My work experience has been with adults individually, in couples therapy, family therapy and in groups. I have helped clients facing various life challenges and with a variety of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia. I strive to help my clients recognize their strengths and supports in order to better cope with their problems. Primarily I use a psychodynamic method with an emphasis on short term therapy. I also use cognitive therapy techniques as well as mindfulness techniques.
I look forward to working with you in finding solutions and clearer understanding of the issues you are currently facing. Look forward to hearing from you.
About online counseling
Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
