About Larkin Plato, Experienced Psychotherapist in Silver Spring, MD
Gaining New Perspectives Through Therapy
As an experienced & licensed psychotherapist in Silver Spring, MD, I work with couples and adults facing profound challenges. My approach uncovers subconscious motivations and addresses daily decisions to resolve internal discord.
This therapeutic process provides you with new tools for daily life, anchored in awareness, personal care, and peace. People often seek therapy due to pain or discomfort, and my goal is to offer an "exit ramp" from the cycle of repetitive thoughts.
Your Guide in the Therapeutic Journey
As your therapist, my purpose is to guide you through resolving conflicts, managing expectations, and healing from trauma. Together, we'll explore new paths and evaluate decisions, helping you distinguish between your own desires and external influences.
In our sessions, I create a space for unconditional self-examination, facilitating those crucial "a-ha" moments in your healing process.
Because I do not accept insurance, our work remains entirely private—no records are submitted to insurance companies or government agencies. Your personal information stays between us, with all records securely kept in my office rather than in electronic databases. This allows for a truly confidential and independent therapeutic experience, free from external oversight.
A Mission to Help Others Overcome Struggles
My journey as a psychotherapist in Silver Spring, MD began after retiring from the military. I earned my MSW from the Catholic University of America in 2008, followed by internships at the Washington Psychiatric Ward and the Women's Center in Virginia. For seven years, I supervised therapists at the Air National Guard before establishing my private practice.
As a certified clinical trauma professional (CCTP), I offer both online and in-person therapy sessions. My approach as an experienced psychotherapist is rooted in the belief that adult struggles often stem from childhood experiences, influencing both positively and negatively, our career choices and relationships.
I use an eclectic approach to help you understand and resolve the issues in your life. Let's work together to unlock your potential for growth and healing.
