Tori Wilson LCPC
I have been in the counseling field for over 20 years, working in different cities along the way. I spent a year abroad in Australia, learning how to slow down and enjoy the little things. I am passionate about helping others achieve their dreams and reach their fullest potential. I am a holistic therapist, who believes everyone has the ability to heal themselves given the chance. I have been trained in a wide variety of treatment modalities and will integrate them into counseling whenever I feel it is appropriate. Those modalities include: EMDR, Sand Tray, Play Therapy, Brainspotting, Expressive Therapies, CFTSI, ITR, and TF-CBT to name a few. I believe that in order to heal, a person needs to feel safe in their bodies and understand their experiences don't define them.

*Currently not accepting new clients.
Hi! My name is Tori. I’m a counselor who works with children, teens, and parents (or parents to be) dealing with difficult life experiences. It’s easy to get stuck: whether that’s with anxiety that makes it hard to do daily tasks, with memories of an event that happened a long time ago, or even stuck on something that has no name or explanation yet. I want to help you or your kid get unstuck and move closer to what our natural state as humans is: JOY. My approach to working with clients is holistic in nature with a strong emphasis on connection and creativity. Over time I have learned research based techniques that may be helpful in sessions and come from play therapy, expressive arts, CBT, trained in PCIT, and received training in phase 1 and 2 for Brainspotting. In addition to my former work as an educator and school counselor, I am also a certified yoga and mindfulness teacher. Throughout my career I have worked with several kinds of families and welcome kids/parents of all backgrounds and beliefs!

Haejin Yu LGPC
Hello, my name is Haejin, born and raised in the state of Maryland. I have obtained a Certificate in Counseling Studies from the University of Baltimore and a Master of Science from Johns Hopkins University with a concentration in School Counseling. Empowerment through the person centered approach is my overall key stance in providing emotional support with my clients. I am a sole believer of reactivating our true inner voices, whether one appears introverted or extroverted. A former mentor once told me that people are like onions - we only see the surface layer, but there’s always more depth to each person. It doesn’t matter how old we are, everyone has a story tell.

Shanyra Lyons LCPC
Hello, my name is Shanyra, I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. My approach to counseling is supporting individuals during their time of need to help them reach their optimum level of wellbeing. I stand on the fact that “it’s okay to not be okay”. Therapy is not always the easiest thing to do. My passion is helping others improve their lives and overcome challenges. Just recognizing that you need help and support is a huge strength. I work to help clients heal trauma, deal with anxiety, depression, anger and behavioral issues, grief, relational issues, and stress. I also believe in psychoeducation and ensuring that individuals understand their diagnosis and what that means for them. With over ten years of experience working with individuals in the mental health field I welcome clients from all backgrounds and cultures. In my free time I enjoy riding bikes, trying a new restaurant, or looking for the next cruise vacation to enjoy with my family. Can I be the person who helps support you? I look forward to working with you.

Erica Korto LCPC
As a therapist I strive to see individuals as their unique selves and to support each person in finding and creating new habits to fulfill their needs. I am intentional about fostering an authentic therapeutic experience to best serve you in your journey of personal growth and development. And believe it - you are ready.
You no longer have to suffer through debilitating emotions and thoughts - your new focal point can finally be on what you want from life. I create an uplifting and safe space by validating clients on many topics such as race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexual orientation, as well as family and societal factors. I cater to one's need to form and ground their identity and establish positive concepts of self by discussing forms of oppression and empowerment through looking at the connection between your identifiers.
My experiences have been curated from working with teens and adults that wanted to adapt their current approaches to behaviors of anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief and loss, trauma, boundary setting, relationship concerns, life transitions, and affirming those a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. With a foundation in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Strengths-Based, and Trauma-Informed care, together, we can move forward through any challenge you may have.

Daniel Knach,
Director of Operations
Serving as Director of Operations for My Crossing Paths Counseling Center, my role began as an initiative to expand the practice, implement IT policies for HIPAA compliance, and optimize financial stability by incorporating data-driven strategies. With extensive experience in IT management, project execution, and business transformation, I have been fortunate to lead teams and initiatives across higher education, healthcare, and corporate environments.
As Chief Technology Officer and Director of Infrastructure at Stevenson University, I led digital transformation projects for remote work and education, cloud migrations, and cost reduction strategies.
However, my role at MCPCC has evolved into an effort to remove obstacles to services for our community, and ensure our clinicians are client focused, not claims accountable. This has become more than a position motivated by achieving strategic initiatives. It’s a place where differences are made every day in the lives of the people we support, not quantified in a spreadsheet.
Hannah Jones LCPC
As a person-centered therapist, I am dedicated to providing an empathetic, reflective, and compassionate approach to therapy. My aim is to build strong therapeutic relationships with each client, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages growth, comfort, and safety. In this supportive environment, clients can share their stories at their own pace, without fear of judgment and can communicate their needs in a way that promotes understanding and validation. I am a certified ADHD clinical services provider, and I am dedicated to supporting adults who struggle with ADHD and executive function disorders. In this space, clients are encouraged to explore their unique challenges related to ADHD such as difficulties with sustained attention, time management, task initiation, and emotional regulation. I utilize a comprehensive range of therapeutic techniques tailored to enhance cognitive and emotional skills impacted by ADHD and executive function challenges. This includes strategies for improving organization, problem-solving, and stress management, which are critical for daily functioning and personal success. My goal is to help clients understand their ADHD, leverage their strengths, and develop coping mechanisms that promote independence and self-confidence. I also work with an array of other mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, relationship challenges, and many more. Together, we can work towards positive change and healing, no matter the challenges or background you bring to the table. Our therapy sessions are designed to provide actionable insights and practical tools that support clients in leading more fulfilled and balanced lives.
