Dr. Annette Burns Porter , MD, LCPC

—About

I'm a MD practising in Maryland.

I trained at Bowie State University (a M.S. in Counseling Psychology), Argosy University in Virginia (a Doctor of Clinical Psychology), and the University of Maryland at College Park (a B.A. in Family and Community Development).

—How I Work

My clinical approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

I am very collaborative in my work and believe that the client is the expert when it comes to his/her own life experiences.

I aim to help them develop more satisfying interpersonal relationships.

—Who I Help

I work with clients on stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

I work with anxiety, mood and adjustment disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, family conflict, relational issues, life transitions, and adolescents.
