TJ Kamsler (Jones-Rouse), LCSW-C

 

The Equinox Center (formerly Achieve Balance Counseling, LLC, 2015-2024) was born of my deep desire to provide individualized, focused, holistic care in a welcoming atmosphere. My passion for this work continues to grow as I am so fulfilled by bearing witness to the personal evolution of each of the people and partnerships I have the pleasure of working with. 

 

Having recognized an unmet demand in the community, I have centered my work around sexual wellness since 2020.  I provide compassionate, affirming, strengths-based care to people who aim to address issues related to sexual health: sexual (dys)function, compulsive behaviors, pleasure, sexual trauma, attitudes about sex and sexuality, and body image. Sexual orientation, specific interests (kink), gender identity and fluidity exploration is affirmed; alternative relationship dynamics are welcomed and celebrated.

 

Though I have largely transitioned to providing therapy with a focus on sex and sexuality, I continue to serve individuals seeking support to address a variety of circumstances and conditions including: AD(H)D, anxiety and mood disorders, relational and vocational functioning, parenting matters, and life transitions.

 

My approach to therapy is eclectic and integrative, informed by a variety of evidence-based practices which I blend to provide care tailored to the individual needs of every person I work with. 

 

Education: I earned a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore, a Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Associates degrees in Human Services and Substance Abuse from Anne Arundel Community College.
