More About Safe Space

Our Services

Couples Counseling

Sometimes, all you need is a safe and neutral place to talk about your problems and feelings. We will provide you with a structured and supportive environment to address specific and major life issues, improve connection, rebuild trust, and even enhance physical and emotional intimacy.
Brainspotting Services

Our visual system has a complex relationship with emotion. During brainspotting session, we will use that to help your brain process and heal from emotional and psychological pain that are not always accessible through traditional talk therapy.
EMDR Services

There are life events and issues that our brain can’t seem to process which lead to on going emotional pain and distress. EMDR is a well-researched technique that uses eye movements to help your brain deal and process difficult memories and feelings, especially related to trauma or abuse.
Child, Adolescent & Teen Counseling

At Safe Space Counseling Services, we believe every child and adolescent deserves a space where they feel safe, heard, and empowered. Our child-focused therapists specialize in meeting young people where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and creatively.
Multilingual Counseling

We make sure that language barriers do not prevent you from accessing the mental health support you need. Safe Space provides counseling in Hindi, Odia, Kannada, and Mandarin, allowing you to express your thoughts and feelings more accurately and fully, making you feel comfortable and understood.
Support Group

At Safe Space Counseling Services, counselors want to help their clients and participants gain a sense of community and support. We offer different types of group therapy to help you get the inclusivity and closure that you need.

We honor and celebrate all emotions, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual preference, background, and color.

We aim to give access to mental wellness to all people of Maryland, to give unbiased support, and to validate each and everyone's emotion – that every person's mental health journey is different, every person's definition of wellness and healing is different, and to always honor each and one of them.

I have been a client at Safe Space Counseling for months, and I have seen such an improvement in my mental health since I began. I had no previous experience with Brainspotting before this, but my counselor introduced me to it and I am so grateful she did. It is really relaxing and incredibly helpful with dealing with many issues, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I'm a retired paramedic and have been haunted by many of the things I saw and had to do in that job, and I've never found anything healthy or productive to help with that. Many first responders fall into unhealthy/maladaptive coping mechanisms, understandably, but those things aren't sustainable. Using Brainspotting has helped me to process the things that have haunted me so that I can understand them and myself better and move forward in my life in a positive way. 10/10, highly recommend.

Before their first therapy session, clients should consider their goals for therapy, make a note of any important personal issues or symptoms, and be prepared to discuss them openly. Their counselor will be exploring them with their clients.
Clients can expect their therapists to provide a supportive and confidential space, offer empathetic listening, and guide them through their issues with professionalism. Therapists should establish clear goals, respect boundaries, and may give homework to support progress. They will also regularly evaluate and adjust treatment plans to best meet the client's needs.
