Upcoming Workshops

Hilla Keren, LCSW-C

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with over 15 years of experience in individual, couples, group, and family therapy. In addition to a thriving private therapy practice, I conduct workshops offering practical, compassionate approaches to life's daily challenges: reconciling money and emotions, developing effective parenting skills, preventing school violence, and communicating effectively. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland and a Master's of Social Work from UM's School of Social Work. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers and the American Academy of Psycho-therapists. Prior to establishing my private practice, I served as the Clinical Director of the Women's Growth Center in Pikesville, MD. My articles on psychotherapeutic practice have appeared in Voices, the Journal of the American Academy of Psychotherapists.

The trusting relationships we build empower each client to use the tools he/she learns in sessions, and become his/her own best therapist.

I believe that we all were born with everything we need to heal and grow spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. There are times in a person's life when he/she experiences stress, depression, lack of motivation, or confusion. In my own life I have experienced multiple losses that left me devastated, discouraged about my future, and feeling stuck. I found the psychotherapy process to be extremely helpful in the process of healing and even more so, empowered me to reach into my own resources of self healing and personal growth.

The process of healing can be painful and difficult at times. It takes serious commitment and courage.

Psychotherapy is a healing process which involves a relationship between the client and therapist. Together the client and therapist create a safe place for change and growth. Trust, respect, confidentiality, and honesty are the basis of building an environment that provides the possibility for change and healing to take place.

There are many excellent and experienced professional therapists. Because the nature of psychotherapy relies on the relationship between the client and therapist, it is important that the client and therapist are a good fit for each other. An initial consultation provides you with an opportunity to experience the process of psychotherapy as well as the match between yourself and the therapist. Sometimes it takes more than one session to determine if you have a good match.
