Getting to know Soni Fitzhugh

My name is Soni Fitzhugh. I am a licensed professional counselor in Silver Spring, Maryland, working with clients via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents, helping people lead healthy and productive lives. I hold a Master’s degree from Maryland University of Integrative Health and a Bachelor’s degree from Bowie State University. My approach My therapeutic approach is person-centered and reflects my values. A person-centered counseling session is open, incorporates a lack of structure, and has a non-directive approach. During my sessions, clients do most of the talking. They experience unconditional positive regard, or nonjudgment, empathetic understanding, and genuineness. My focus I specialize in teaching coping skills to clients with anxiety, depression, and women’s issues. My favorite modality is EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, or tapping. If you would like to try a new modality, try EFT. It is a powerful holistic healing technique based on research showing emotional stress contributes greatly to disease. EFT is an easy self-help tool for people struggling with painful emotions that traditional treatments have been unable to help. My communication style As a counselor, I empower my clients. Empowerment begins within the therapeutic relationship, where the client becomes an equal partner in the helping and healing process. I want clients to have the opportunities they need to thrive in life. My journey to mental healthcare I love my job. My mission is to create, nurture, and allow a climate of growth, connection, and potential to blossom in my clients. I believe the most empowering intervention is education because it encourages clients to identify their patterns and barriers to wellness. I have become aware that counselors are not here to give advice or tell clients what to do because it robs them of the opportunity to figure it out for themselves.
