Dr. Ann-Louise Silver – Columbia, Maryland Psychotherapist
& The Columbia Academy of Psychodynamics

Psychotherapy can help you take better control of your life as you come to recognize your self-defeating patterns, and find options you had not recognized.  I provide Columbia, MD individual and couples psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents, and consultation and supervision for clinicians who want to strenghten their own work. 

• Are you struggling with depression? Are you grieving? Has a physical illness affected you emotionally?
• Do you feel stuck in a rut and your life lacks meaning? Are you looking for career advancement?
• Do you suffer from a phobia? Are you plagued by anxiety or stress?
• Do you have relationship issues you want to work out?

With over 40 years experience as a Columbia, Maryland psychotherapist, and 25 years as a Chestnut Lodge Hospital medical staff member, I can work with you increase your fortitude and self-awareness, and can work with you as you explore new options.  You will have a clearer notion of your patterns in relationships.  By exploring your past life you can become aware of old behaviors learned in childhood that are negatively affecting your life now.

My approach to psychotherapy is comprehensive, focusing on the whole individual, body, mind, and spirit.

I am also a Columbia, Maryland psychiatrist so I can provide medication management along with psychotherapy. I particularly specialize in the treatment of depression, phobia, anxiety, personality disorder, and psychosis.
