Hello, I am Laura Funkhouser, owner of DMV Mental Health, LLC.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience serving children, adolescents, and their families as well as those from young adulthood to middle adulthood. I received my Master's Degree from the University of Maryland at Baltimore in 2008.
My therapeutic style includes a warm, patient-centered, and strengths-based perspective. I provide integrative therapy using various techniques from modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused, psychodynamic, family systems work, as well as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
My professional licensure includes: LCSW-C, LICSW, LCSW and I am licensed and able to work with patients that live in MD, DC, VA & VT.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over fourteen years of clinical experience, primarily with teens and adults. I received my Master’s Degree from University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2010 and have since gained experience in a variety of outpatient settings.
I use a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to treat mental health problems including depression, anxiety, adjustment/life changes and relationship issues.
Since you are the expert on yourself, I refer to you as the "driver" of your treatment journey, while I am the "passenger" there next to you and with you, to provide support. I bring a balance of meeting you where you are, while offering feedback and challenging you in order to help foster growth and change.
Building rapport and creating a safe, judgement-free space for therapy sessions is of the utmost importance to me. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to help achieve your identified goals and navigate any bumps in the road along the way!
If you think I may be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out!
