Jo Ann Preston
I am waiting to help you. My clinical and life experiences and Goldendoodle have taught me to be compassionate, patient, and to never assume anything, and more importantly, to respect the experiences of others because they can teach you as well. My approach to feeling better is simple. You have to put in the work. Everyone at some point needs another ear to listen, validate their concerns, and arrive at realistic, practicable solutions. Focusing on a person's inner strength, but being mindful that this person has come to me feeling he/she needs someone to validate their needs. I use solution-focused therapy with the strength-based modality. Solution-focused therapy addresses a person's present, future circumstances, and goals. The strength-based modality uses the person's hidden strengths to plan for the future. I have over 28 years of clinical experience. I have a doctorate in clinical therapy specializing in Trauma, Grief, and Geriatrics. This includes addressing the loss of a pet who is a devoted member of the family. I miss my Mr. Buster. My expertise includes child abuse, sexual abuse, racial inequity, and addiction-related issues. I work with Biracial and LGBTQ populations, and adolescents, and have found both populations to be committed, creative, and spontaneous. I accept several insurances: CareFirst Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Maryland and Virginia, Optum Veterans Affairs in Maryland and Virginia, Cigna insurance in Maryland and Virginia, United Optum and Medicare in Maryland and Virginia, Anthem in Virginia, Bright Health in Virginia, Aetna insurance in Maryland, Humana Medicare Advantage in Maryland and Virginia, Velocity in Virginia and Maryland, Unity in Virginia and Maryland, Centivo Ellwood in Virginia and Maryland, and Fairos/Ocuunet in Maryland and Virginia. I am credentialed with Prime Health in Virginia and Maryland. I am credentialed in Claim Doc. I am certified in Dementia Care and Planning. I am insured with Kaiser in Maryland and Virginia. Again, uncovering the source, acknowledging the pain, moving forward, and planning for the future is your goal as well as mine! Best regards!
