Getting to know Lynn Mahan
Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, depression, or other uncomfortable emotions? Has something happened in your life recently-or even long ago-that is causing you distress and interfering with your work, school, relationships, or daily life? First, know that you are not alone, and help is available.
I'm Lynn, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and Florida, with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I have been a practicing psychotherapist for the past 25 years. Having worked in private practice, hospitals, mental health centers, and hospice, I am comfortable supporting clients of all ages, life stages, sexual orientations, and cultural and ethnic backgrounds. I believe the most important factor in successful counseling is the connection between therapist and client. Therefore, I bring my authentic, caring, and nonjudgmental self to every encounter.
My diverse therapeutic background allows me to use multiple modalities tailored to each individual's needs. Typically, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients gain insight into their behaviors and others', while developing tools and skills to manage difficult emotions and situations.
Deciding to enter counseling can feel intimidating. If you are considering therapy, I encourage you to give yourself the gift of self-care and mental and emotional well-being by taking that first step. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first visit, my goal is to find out what brings you to counseling. There are not "right" or "wrong" reasons for seeking help. For counseling to be effective, it is imperative that the therapist meets the client where they are....and not where the therapist thinks or feels they "should" be. I listen with an open, non- judgmental, objective mind in order to fully understand what you are needing from me in order to help you reach your mental health goals.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She was extremely friendly, and I felt like she was really listening to what I was saying and truly was trying to understand me. I very much enjoyed our talk. ?

Lynn is incredibly welcoming and intelligent. Her coping techniques are spot-on and really effective. I genuinely love our meetings; they always leave me feeling significantly better and more empowered. Always looking froward to speak to her.

Very easy to talk to. She is straight to the point and a great listener. I felt so much better after our talk and look forward to the next one!

Lynn has been so incredible in my sessions with her. Therapy can be scary and intimidating, and she creates a very safe space and makes you feel comfortable to talk about very difficult things. She’s open-minded and a great listener which also helps. I’ve been told by loved ones they see positive changes in me, and I have Lynn to thank for that. She is very appreciated! :)

I could probably click most everything on the above. She has given me the strength to push myself in a good direction and also helps me figure out what to do depending on the outcome of that direction. I don't feel alone I feel like I have somebody who has my back and understands what I'm going through. That means a lot to me. I feel confident with work and time that my life will have a more positive outlook than I have had in years.

Lynn not only provides a soundboard for exploring the many facets of grief, but she acknowledges those areas where improvements have been made that I may not have seen or accepted.

Got straight to the point and on target with analysis of situation. Offered realistic solutions and attainable goals. Would highly recommend to others.

Lynn's approach is unusual compared to what we've encountered. Typically, a marriage counselor would give us tons of literature or assessments about our personality type and use that as a measure of why we are in conflict. However, Lynn was able pinpoint our issues in the first session by asking probing questions and listening. She has been able to get through to my husband like no one else in a short period of time (4 sessions). She speaks a language he understands and provides feedback to us in a digestible way. We were on our way to divorce. Literally, the papers were filed and court date set. With Lynn's help, we've made significant progress.
Thanks, Lynn!
