Meet Dare
Founder and Lead Clinician
Welcome! I'm Dare, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Maryland. I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and hold a certificate in integrative wellness. With seven years of experience in the social work field, my journey has equipped me with the expertise to support individuals and families from diverse backgrounds facing a variety of challenges.
​
My true passion lies in empowering women to navigate life's complexities and achieve holistic well-being by fostering a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I specialize in providing support to Black and Indigenous individuals at all stages of life, with a focus on facilitating the recognition and healing of historical, familial, and personal trauma. These traumas often impede one's ability to authentically express themselves, and my goal is to help you break free from these barriers.
​
Additionally, I am deeply committed to working with women who, despite outward appearances of success, struggle with internal chaos and a yearning for deeper fulfillment. I understand that behind the facade of success, many women experience profound internal struggles. My approach is tailored to help you uncover and address these challenges, fostering a sense of self-understanding and liberation from patterns of self-sabotage.
​
If you are navigating internal struggles, seeking self-understanding, and yearning for a life free from self-sabotaging patterns, my approach may resonate with you. Let's work together to help you achieve a more balanced, fulfilling life.
My Approach
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, rooted in womanist and liberation psychology frameworks. This means recognizing your inherent worth, power, and resilience and honoring your unique journey towards healing and self-discovery.
My therapeutic style is laid back, yet very engaged. I see you as the expert of your own life and experiences. My role is to walk alongside you, providing support, guidance, and tools as you tap into your own divinity and inner wisdom. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I incorporate body-based therapies to facilitate healing. By reconnecting with your body's wisdom, we can unlock deeper layers of healing and empowerment.
​
If you're ready to embark on a journey of deep healing, self-discovery, and liberation, I'm here to support you. Together, we will co create a brave and compassionate space where you can explore, heal, and reclaim your authentic self. Please know that reaching out for support is a courageous step towards healing. If my approach resonates with you, I invite you to connect with me. Your healing journey starts here.
