Welcome to Paige Prestipino Therapy
Therapist and counselor serving the communities of Maryland.
Paige Prestipino, LCPC
Hello,
I am Paige Prestipino, LCPC, and I provide individual therapy for those looking to bolster their health and move forward in life. Taking care of your mental health can be overwhelming, and many people don’t know how or where to start. As a therapist, it is my goal to help my clients navigate this process and learn how to support their health, reach for their goals, and experience healing.
Therapy is an instrumental resource in one’s journey towards sustaining a life filled with health, growth and happiness. I strive to help my clients to feel inspired, encouraged, and hopeful about their life and the road ahead of them.

What therapy can help you with
Healthy Habits
Sometimes, we need to unlearn problematic habits to make room for new, healthier, and more rewarding ways of living. Becoming aware of our needs is a crucial part in developing good habits. It’s by first knowing what we need to be healthy, happy, and thriving, that then we can build a lifestyle that actually meets our needs and supports us. Copying someone else’s “healthy lifestyle” or mimicking the “morning and night routines” that we see other people post online will not generate the benefits we seek. We need to create habits and routines that are specific to us, how we function, and what we want.
I aim to help clients understand what their needs are so they can adopt strategies that help them function through life with more ease, confidence, and success.
While all people benefit from this, I have found this to be extremely helpful for the ADHD community I serve (which includes myself).
Processing and Expressing Emotions
Another reason people come to therapy is to work through complex emotions and difficult life experiences. Therapy is a place where clients can safely share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or negative repercussions.
Processing is the best way to get “un-stuck”, and oftentimes, it is helpful to have another person (like a therapist) serve as a sounding board as we work through things. To protect ourselves, we often stuff our pain and avoid discomfort, which ultimately complicates things further and leaves us in a web of emotions. If neglected, our emotions can intensify and show up at random and inconvenient times. When this happens, we become reactive and feel as though we have lost control. This can be a scary place to be. By allowing these emotions to surface in therapy, you give yourself the opportunity to learn how to work through them, giving yourself more clarity, control, and confidence. As well as strengthening your ability to express yourself and your feelings. .
Communication is also a key factor in relationships. Strengthening ones emotional intelligence and communication skills inherently strengthens one’s relationship skills and relationships.
Diagnosis
Therapy is a great place to discuss mental health conditions and diagnoses. If you are struggling with, or are interested in learning about, specific mental health diagnoses, I am experienced in working with individuals with anxiety, depression, bipolar, postpartum, mild forms of OCD, and ADHD/ADD.
Grief
Grief is accepting that sometimes it is ok to not be ok.
I am certified in grief counseling and take special interest in providing a safe space for people who are facing tragic loss. Being able to own and navigate one’s grief journey is instrumental for one’s health and life, and I am honored to offer people the time and space to do this hard work.
As someone who has been struck by tragic loss early in life, I am a fellow companion in the world of grief. This place is not foreign to me and I hope to offer others a way to express themselves, find themselves, and make sense of things so they can move forward in this new place.
