The New Connections Counseling’s Center is You

No two people are the same. Each person bears a unique blend of experiences, struggles, and victories that shape their distinct story. That’s why, at New Connections, we strive to create a therapeutic space that meets your specific needs and resonates with your personal journey.

We understand the need to feel connected: to people, to resources, to yourself. We know that life experiences can often interfere with the success and satisfaction of those connections, so we want to help you get the most out of them.

Our practice specializes in helping clients struggling with life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, grief, anxiety, depression, and more. Together, we will identify underlying issues, explore old patterns, and fully realize your strengths to help you reach the life and connections you’re seeking.

What to Expect from Therapy

Initial Sessions

We know that starting therapy can be a nerve-wracking process and hope you will consider the first few sessions as an initial consultation. We encourage you to see this as a time with no strings attached, and an opportunity to learn more about your therapist to see if you would feel comfortable working together.

It is very important that you feel comfortable with the therapist you choose. Therapy won’t always be comfortable. In fact, at times it can be highly uncomfortable. So we want you to feel that your therapist is someone you feel safe with to do that uncomfortable work with together.

During these sessions, you can expect to get a sense of your therapist’s practices regarding therapy, confidentiality, and payment. At the same time, your therapist will likely be trying to get a sense of your personal history and what it is you hope to get out of therapy. This initial process builds basic trust, understanding, and the foundation of a therapy plan that meets your specific needs.

After the first few sessions, if given your goals and comfort level, it seems to be a good fit, regular therapy sessions will be scheduled. If not, your therapist will offer referrals to providers in the community who may better fit your needs.

Therapy is like any other relationship: it takes work, open communication, and commitment.

Scheduling Appointments

Our sessions typically last 45-50 minutes. We have a flexible range of days and times available, including early morning, evening, and a few weekend appointments.

In-person therapy takes place in our office on the corner of Roland Ave and 36th Street in Hampden. Come early and explore “The Avenue” — replete with outstanding coffee shops, farm-to-fork restaurants, and boutique shopping. When you need a break from the hustle, you’ll find our cozy space to be an escape to talk about what’s most important to you.

The New Connections Counseling Center‘s office is located at the end of the hallway on the second floor. The location is easily accessible for those in Towson, Roland Park, Mt. Washington, Charles Village, and Hamilton. Free parking is available on Roland Ave and the residential neighborhood off 36th Street.
