Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Hello, I am J. Claire Abernathy.

I also have experience treating substance use disorders and supporting persons in recovery. I work with the LGBTQ+ community. I welcome desisters, detransitioners, and those families with children questioning sex and gender identity, that want a risk averse approach to care.

I offer individual therapy to adults. I have many years of experience working with survivors of trauma, abuse, and neglect. Other areas of clinical interest and expertise include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, difficult family systems, vicarious trauma, professional burnout, exploration of gender identity, and issues surrounding pregnancy (infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, etc.)

Therapy, we all have been given different messages (good & bad) about what it “means” to utilize it. In case no one has told you lately, seeking therapy does not mean something is wrong with you. Rather you are new to therapy and wondering what to discuss in session or have intermittently done therapy, I work to ensure my clients therapeutic journey is catered to meet their wants and needs.

I help individuals of all ages experiencing anxiety, frustration, loss, fear, confusion, etc. to regain a sense of grounding and clarity in their lives through the use of person-centered psychotherapy and Art therapy. My clients may utilize talk therapy and/or non-threatening art materials and age appropriate directives to aid in the their therapeutic process. I have extensive experience with clients who have experienced or are currently experiencing childhood trauma (medical and otherwise), chronic illness, loss of a family member, mental illness, and generalized anxiety.

My clients seek help for various life problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, family relationship and marital issues, mood disorders, trauma disorders, addiction, just to name a few. Whatever the issue that brings someone to therapy, we all need support, guidance, and healing in a safe nurturing environment. I offer a compassionate individualized approach to therapy and healing. I believe that a therapist's role is to help others to tap into the wisdom and healing that resides within.
