Richard Pehle M.S.W., LCSW-C
Stress, Trauma, Communication Issues, Depression, Addiction
I believe at some time in our lives all of us face significant challenges and problems. It is natural to seek support when you are faced with stress, trauma, communication issues, depression, addiction, coping with illness or being a caregiver. It is my hope to work with you to define the problems you face, determine your goals and work with you to make your life better. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland I have been providing counseling to adults, couples, children and families for over 20 years.
For me an important part of counseling is forming a partnership with the people I see and to address their concerns in a way that they feel listened to, understood and supported. While I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Mindfulness Meditation techniques, I work to find the best approaches and resources for each person.
As well as being a counselor I have enjoyed working in a wide variety of helping professions. My work has included time as a medical corpsman, special education teacher, and certified outdoor adventure therapist. I have worked in a variety of settings including working in community mental health centers, addiction treatment centers, military hospitals, public schools and at the University of Maryland. I have also enjoyed work in radio and television broadcasting. Within all of these careers my central focus was helping others to solve problems, find resources and improve their lives.
I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.

My counseling areas of expertise are in trauma (PTSD), substance abuse, and marital counseling. I have extensive experience working with active duty military, retired military, veterans, and their families. I retired from the VA in 2018 and then worked at Cornerstone Counseling Center from 2019 until 2022. I now have a part-time private practice where I see only veterans through the VA's Community Care Network
I served as a Social Work Officer for 28 years on active duty in the Army, retiring in 2007. I then worked as an Army civilian social worker at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, specializing in work with families of the severely injured from 2007-2009.
In 2009, I stood up and staffed a new Vet Center in Annapolis. That’s a small VA counseling center where I built a program for combat veterans and survivors of military sexual trauma. We based our counseling on both traditional evidence based therapies, but also integrated other stress management and mind-body medicine strategies. We included yoga, art, music therapy, meditation, and therapeutic horseback riding.
I have also worked with the Wounded Warrior Project on Odyssey retreats for combat veterans, and currently serve on the advisory board of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention and Education at Case Western Reserve University. I also serve on the board of the Fairfield Outreach and Sponsors Association, which provides financial and program support for a Methodist children's home in Zimbabwe.
