Testimonial
"After years of anxiety that made me feel like I was drowning in my own thoughts, I found Dr. Emmanuella. In just three months, she gave me tools I use every single day. The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique she taught me stopped my panic attacks in their tracks. I'm not just 'coping' anymore; I'm actually living. De AnchoredSelf didn't just give me a lifeline; they taught me how to swim."
"I thought my life was over after my DUI. I was terrified, ashamed, and completely lost. From the first call, the team at De AnchoredSelf was non-judgmental and clear. They handled my urgent court deadline and the virtual assessment was a lifesaver. The program wasn't just about compliance; it was about understanding my relationship with alcohol. Today, I have my license back, my confidence back, and a future I'm excited about."
"I was stuck in a dead-end job and felt completely uninspired. I thought therapy was for 'broken' people and didn't think I needed it. Life coaching at De AnchoredSelf was the catalyst I needed. Dr. Emmanuella helped me clarify my values, set bold goals, and create an actionable plan. Within 6 months, I'd not only transitioned to a new career I love, but I also gained a confidence in my decision-making I never had before."
EXPERIENCE
I bring over two decades of personal and professional experience in addiction recovery, a journey that has deeply shaped my understanding of the complexities of substance use and the transformative power of healing. Most recently, I served as a Group Therapist at The Kenward Trust, Kent’s leading Drug and Alcohol treatment facility, where I facilitated therapeutic sessions, supported individuals through their recovery journeys, and helped foster a safe and empowering environment for personal growth.

it's completely normal to feel nervous, and we are here to support you, not judge you. The DUI assessment is a confidential, clinical evaluation—protected by strict privacy laws (HIPAA)—not a legal interrogation.
You can expect:
* A safe, respectful conversation about your substance use history and the incident.
* A series of standardized questions to understand your needs.
* A clear explanation of the process and your options.
The goal is to provide the court with a fair assessment and recommend the most appropriate education or treatment program for your well-being and compliance. *Your confidentiality is our top priority.*
Yes! We offer the flexibility of both *in-person sessions* at our Maryland office and secure, confidential *virtual sessions* via our online telehealth platform.
