Daria Todor

Daria Todor is a dedicated clinical social worker and therapist, holding credentials as an ACSW, LCSW-C, and MAC. Her therapeutic approach centers on cultivating strong alliances with clients, while offering a positive, non-pathologizing perspective on challenges they face. By embracing curiosity about each client's life story and the meaning they derive from it, Daria helps individuals explore how these narratives can sometimes hinder their ability to find solutions. In a non-judgmental environment, clients are empowered to develop alternative storylines that guide them towards lasting change. Daria has witnessed numerous clients achieve significant success, often in a short time frame. While she acknowledges the importance of technique, it is the strength of the collaborative relationship that truly makes a difference. Her specialties include counseling for couples, families, individuals, and groups, with a focus on children in the context of family therapy. Additionally, she provides life and career coaching, addresses issues related to addictions, grief and loss, and offers premarital counseling. Daria is particularly attuned to family dynamics, including family of origin and sibling relationships, and is a gay-affirmative therapist with extensive experience in LGBT counseling. What sets Daria apart from other therapists is her emphasis on competencies, resiliency, and the development of self-acceptance. With significant experience in serving individuals from diverse backgrounds, Daria is committed to making therapy accessible, offering reduced fees in the underserved areas of Damascus and Mount Airy to ensure therapy is affordable during these challenging times.
