Andrea Miller
Counselor/Therapist, NCC
I have a special interest in addressing various challenges, including Trauma and PTSD, Career Counseling, Anxiety, Depression, Self-esteem/Personal Growth, Life Transitions/Adjustment, Relationship Conflict, Multicultural Issues, Religion and Spirituality, Self-harm, Suicidal Ideation, and Bipolar/Mood Disorders. In my therapeutic approach, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), having completed the foundational training through the Linehan Institute and contributing to CCG's comprehensive DBT team. My toolkit also includes Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Client-Centered, Solutions Focused, Trauma-Informed, and Psychodynamic modalities, with a willingness to integrate faith and spirituality into sessions upon client request. As a Resident in Counseling in Virginia and a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) in Maryland, my priority is to establish a secure and collaborative environment, drawing on my Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Marymount University. Being a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and Chi Sigma Iota, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. My professional journey includes serving diverse populations at a group practice, where I supported first responders, medical staff, military personnel/veterans, international humanitarian workers, law enforcement, and journalists. I've worked with individuals facing fertility and prepartum/postpartum challenges and implemented social-emotional learning for refugee children in Germany. Beyond my counseling role, I find joy in outdoor activities, travel, culinary exploration, and quality time with my husband.

Kayla Jarred
Psychologist, PsyD
As a psychologist, I am deeply committed to providing empathetic and person-centered care that fosters growth, self-discovery, and personal development. I believe that every individual has a unique story, and my role is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where people can explore their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Through this process, I aim to help individuals better understand themselves and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with resilience and self-compassion.
My values as a therapist encompass compassion and respect, with a deep commitment to personal growth. I approach each therapeutic relationship with the belief that people have an inherent capacity for growth. My role is to support clients in unlocking their potential, helping them explore their values, identify their strengths, and make decisions that help them progress on personal goals. Utilizing a variety of techniques, I view therapy as a collaborative process, adapting to your needs and desired goals in therapy.
Ultimately, my goal is to support individuals encountering concerns related to depression, anxiety, anger, trauma/stress, emotional dysregulation, and other general concerns a person may encounter. I teach skills from ACT, DBT, CBT, CPT, and other evidenced based therapy techniques to give you the opportunity for customized skill building for your specific concerns.

Nathan Duff
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC, LCMHC, CCTP, C-DBT, CYMHS
So every therapist will say they want clients to feel genuinely understood, and I think they do, but I've watched a few whole anime series that I don't personally like just to get more insight on a teen client, and I've read books and research journals for adult clients with unusual circumstances. I only mention it to point out that I'm highly motivated to "get" someone's experience, whatever that may be. I’m committed to honoring each client’s right to self-determination, guiding them toward their own goals rather than imposing my personal views. Part of that is also letting clients in on my thought process "behind the scenes" as much as I can.
