Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Therapy with me will provide a safe, warm, nonjudgmental, identity-affirming space where you will feel fully heard and understood. Within an anti-oppressive, trauma-centered framework we will explore how past and present experiences have shaped the distress, anxiety, anger, or hopelessness you may be carrying. We will identify the ways you have adapted to these experiences and how this may be contributing to the stress/trauma held in your brain and body and carried into your relationships. I will support and challenge you to grow and heal from this.

Are you disconnected from your body? Maybe your body doesn't feel like a safe place. Trauma can disrupt one's relationship with the body and lead to detachment or hatred toward one's body. As a yoga instructor and therapist who specializes in trauma, I enjoy using gentle movement and connection to the breath to help trauma survivors to develop, or rebuild, a sense of safety within the body. I have found this approach can be instrumental in clients learning to tolerate sensory and emotional experiences and ultimately forming a compassionate relationship with their body.

My main areas of focus are marital difficulties, emotional dysregulation, parenting, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social relationship difficulties.

I believe in inalienable human rights to happiness, to love, and to freedom. I approach therapy with an inquisitive outlook and seek to make my practice welcoming. I'm trained in CBT, DBT, mindfulness, crisis response, and trauma-focused care. I specialize in anxiety, depression, mood disorders, severe and persistent disorders, assessment, lifestyle & adjustment disorders, borderline personality disorder and bipolar depression disorders. I have significant experience providing therapy for individuals, families, psychoeducational groups, and couples.

I have worked with the LGBTQ+ population in different capacities for the last three decades, and have interest in seeing our community/communities succeed. I also I specialize in men's struggles, rights, and needs to grow, express and experience happiness. Anyone who identifies as male is welcome to set an appointment. I also see patients who identify as female, and teenagers of all genders.

Looking for both comfort and change? I strongly believe that growth happens when we feel supported and understood. As a therapist, my role is to facilitate your goals by highlighting new and old ways of processing and understanding the world around us. I am passionate about identifying and understanding the impact of values in ourselves, our support structures, and the community. A majority of the clients I work with experience anxiety, sadness, or grief, or they face challenges stemming from life transitions or from self-esteem, relationship, and identity. I hold particular interest working with transitional youth.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and am currently accepting new patients. I enjoy working with a diverse group of individuals who have various levels of mental health challenges. My approach to psychotherapy comes from an understanding that every individual is unique and that various life experiences as well as genetic makeup contribute to one's overall mental health. I take into account the particular needs of the individual & focus on the current problem while also processing & exploring further in an attempt to identify & resolve the root of the issue.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with over thirty years of experience providing strategic therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and family therapy to adults, children, adolescents and families.

Are you suffering from symptoms of depression, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, autism spectrum, OCD, and/or PTSD? I'm here to help facilitate your healing process and provide a safe space to voice your deepest concerns freely. Our goal is to significantly improve your self-concept, increase a positive outlook on life, and, most importantly, feel like your best self.

Greetings! Welcome to my page. If you are here it means that you are on the path to being the best version of you. Have difficulty with relationships/communication skills? Do you feel misunderstood by others? Is it difficult to relax even when you are exhausted? Do you feel overwhelmed, lost, confused, or just unsure of yourself at times? Do you experience negative thoughts (or actions) that you find difficult expressing to others? Flashbacks of difficult memories? I am here to travel a path to wellness with you. Here you will find a safe, confidential, non-judgmental place to unpack.

Many people come to me concerned that therapy cannot work for them. They feel hopeless, or discouraged, or worried that they are beyond help. In fact, some have had previous therapy experiences that have reinforced these fears. If that is your experience, don't give up hope. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to address your individual needs. I am an active and engaged therapist, which means I will not sit back and quietly smoke a pipe while you lie on my office couch. I strive to create a collaborative therapy environment where you are an equal partner in identifying your treatment goals.

Not currently able to accept new clients. I firmly believe in holistic wellness and cater my practice towards helping my clients to achieve their goals. Therapy is only effective when it meets your needs and caters towards you as your own unique self. Therapy is also an expenditure when it comes to time, money and energy. I work collaboratively with my clients to ensure you receive the quality care you deserve. When we combine our strengths, we can create a well-balanced therapeutic relationship.

Are you and/or your child open to the challenging and vulnerable, but beautiful journey that is exploring/bettering overall mental health? If so, you've come to the -not-so- perfect place! I most enjoy working with clients who can appreciate humor and straight-forwardness, as I often approach the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and acceptance as well as the mindset of embracing imperfection. I specialize in individual and family therapy focusing on ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress/trauma for individuals under the age of 30 :)

"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem." Are you tired of pretending "everything's fine", when it's not? Real men embrace vulnerability, honesty & courage. It takes guts to ask for help & face struggles head-on. It takes strength to open up & true bravery to take action for lasting change. We often hit a wall in life & reach a turning point – a bridge we need to cross. Are you looking for a therapist who is real and genuine & can guide you across? As we embark on this transformative journey, I will be here to support you every step of the way, empowering you to unlock your true potential.

Life transitions, daily-living, family dynamics, and cultural stressors are unique to each individual, and can impact your functioning in significant ways. This is why in therapy, it is you who defines your experience. I have my Master's degree from Loyola University Maryland where I am a current Clinical Psychology Psy.D. student. I have assisted clients (adolescents and adults) with a wide range of mental-health related concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, interpersonal skills, grief, and Autism.

Deepak Chopra, in The Healing Self says, "The dividing line between what happens automatically and what happens voluntarily isn’t fixed. Choices matter, and thus the healing self comes into play. On its own the body knows how to survive; it’s up to us to teach it how to thrive.” Welcome to your life! It's yours for the choosing, the healing, the awareness building, the perception changing, and the whole self loving. I can be a grounded guide in this journey. I love helping caregivers, students, and helping professionals by nurturing relationship with their inner wisdom to build stress resilence, strength, and peace.
