Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I currently have a waitlist - Welcome to therapy, I’m so happy you are here! My practice is focused on feeling at home within yourself & providing a safe place to explore your whole self through individual, partnered, and/or family therapy. I use an inclusive, holistic approach & understand that each client is a unique individual & is impacted by their experiences, as well as societal structures & norms. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, burn-out, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, mood disorders, difficulty coping, family/partner conflict, concerns with self-worth, & those who have experienced trauma.

Understanding who you are or what you are feeling is difficult when you are not even sure what words to use to describe your experience or what questions to ask yourself. Naming that is a big step. You may put on a mask to navigate the world in order to reduce the pressures you feel from society. High expectations when you were younger may make mistakes seem unacceptable. The journey to explore who you are may seem lonely. You may notice similarities in the relationships you form now with the relationship you have with your family. The early traumas in your life may be triggering you now in ways that are frustrating and upsetting.

Please note I am only seeing clients via telehealth. I have convenient evening hours, available 3pm to 8pm, Monday through Thursday. My ideal client is motivated to change and build a deeper understanding of self. They may be feeling stuck or lost and need an external push. I provide compassion, humor, and insight, and tailored strategies to empower you to finding your way. I have a lot of experience working with college students and post-grads, but love working with teenagers and adults of any age.

Do you think you may have ADHD or Autism? Have you struggled to assert boundaries at work, with family, & partners? Have you felt curious about exploring different pronouns and gender identity? Do you feel bad that you have a disability and don't know how to tell your friends that you can't do certain activities? You may have goals to tell your friends your preferred pronouns. Goals to get a diagnosis for your disability & curious about medication, goals to reevaluate your relationship with cannabis/alcohol. You may feel shame & anger about your childhood & the way your parents handled your behavior.

Thank you for being here! I love to support my clients as they gain insight into their experiences and confidence to cope with stressors. I aim to be an affirming and authentic presence as you navigate your family-building journey. If you are someone who has struggled with anxiety, panic, or OCD, finds yourself feeling overstimulated and overwhelmed, or has generally felt "alien” “other” or like you don’t belong— I would love to support you. I specialize in working with women and queer people who are pregnant, postpartum, or trying to conceive, with special experience in pregnancy after loss, infertility, and birth trauma.

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.)

In my practice, I work with adults and older adolescents facing challenges such as eating disorders, depression and anxiety, as well as a variety of other mental health concerns. Research shows that an authentic and caring therapeutic relationship, coupled with evidence based treatments, provides a strong foundation for success. My approach to therapy is integrative, collaborative and individualized. My goal is to help you determine what is causing and maintaining current problems and how to make necessary changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviors, leading to enduring change and resulting in greater health and happiness.

Hello! Therapy and choosing to engage with oneself on an intimate and vulnerable level can be an intimidating and frustrating experience, but making that decision, for yourself, can ultimately be one of the most rewarding things you can do. Choosing to know yourself and be compassionate towards your behavior and experiences can lead to not only tangible change but also fulfillment and a more well-rounded and positive outlook on life.

This may be your first time seeking therapy for yourself, your loved one or your family or you may be looking for a "good fit" and not sure what to expect. My goal is to demystify this process, provide you hope, and empower you to make the changes as we walk through the process together. I utilize an integrative approach, using a variety of treatment modalities to best meet the needs of my clients, guided by both research and evidence based/evidenced informed interventions.

I believe in the power of relationship in therapy and strive to create a safe space for every person that walks through my door. Whether you are experiencing a personal, emotional, or relational challenge it takes courage to embark on your wellness journey. Through an insight-oriented holistic approach, my focus is to support and empower clients in our collaborative work. I provide individual, relational/couple, and family therapy for folks 16+. I have worked extensively with the LGBQIAP+ community, gender diverse & trans persons, those in varied relationship structures, and kinky folx.

NOTE: I currently have a waitlist for new patients (pre-surgical evals may still be scheduled). If you are searching this site, you are probably looking for help for yourself, your family or someone you care about. I know this is an important step and I hope that the information on my listing can assist you in finding what you need. I am a counseling psychologist with a background in the treatment of anxiety, depression and other common mental health concerns and a specialty in LGBTQI issues. I treat adults, couples (Gottman Method), and children/families seeking support with sexuality, gender and/or an intersex/DSD diagnosis.

Times are stressful to say the least. Identity questions, relationship challenges, loss, past trauma, and anxiety or depression can add to the difficulties in knowing how to cope and find a path forward. I believe in both personal and collective power to change. We can make individual changes and we can change systems. When it feels like you're struggling to hope or find optimism in your situation, I can hold that for you until the day you're able to. I can assist children and youth in learning themselves more deeply. I can support families, as well as couples and partners, through questions, stuck places, or crisis.

Whether you're looking to make changes in your life, or trying to accept things you cannot change, you deserve a comfortable and safe place to process your feelings. Together we will look at the relationships in your life, your past, and how you narrate your own story. I strive to create a welcoming space for my clients by fostering a relaxed atmosphere, nonjudgmental environment, and humor. I specialize in working with clients who may not enjoy all aspects of therapy. Therefore, if you are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy, I offer creative methods to process difficult feelings.

Stressed, overwhelmed, about to lose your $%&?! Whether parenting, existing in the world as neuro-spicy, trying to navigate relationships, processing global tragedy, juggling multiple roles, I can relate and am here for you. My practice is inclusive, anti-racist, and I'm passionate about healing generational curses. Therapy with me is a judgement-free zone. We'll go at your pace, trusting your own wisdom and experiences. I love supporting the full family system: couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan. Whether managing anxiety, depression, or sorting through past trauma, compassion and openness will guide us.

I specialize in working with people of all ages who are struggling with anxiety, OCD, and trauma. In addition to this, I specialize in working with people of all ages who are questioning their gender or sexual orientation. Through gender affirming care, I hope to validate and empower you to feel comfortable being your truest self. As a therapist, I tailor my practice and treatment approach to each individual and family, while working to meet my clients where they are. I believe that providing a safe and welcoming space for my clients is essential to the therapeutic process, and promotes emotional growth and change.

Hey there! I feel so fortunate to have a specialty working with diverse sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures over the past 18 years. Whether I am supporting individuals and their families with the coming-out process, assisting clients with social and/or medical transition, helping folx design relationships that actually work or creating a space where you can simply fall apart.. my hope for all of my clients is to learn how to love themselves and each other better and resolve differences more directly and fairly. I am extremely interpersonal in my work and if you'd like more clarity around that - just ask :)

I work with people experiencing anxiety, directionlessness and disconnection. I utilize Western, more traditional modalities to address anxiety and depression, as well as Buddhist concepts and approaches to dive into topics such as lack of direction, struggling with overwhelming emotions, and creating an internal sense of calm and peace, regardless of what is happening in your family, at work, or in romantic relationships.

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.

Hi, I'm Melodi, owner of Maryland Virtual Therapy, LLC. I know how difficult it can be to reach out to a therapist — I've been there! With a decade of experience in the mental health field, I've cultivated an approach that just might work for you. It's all about connection. Connection between therapist and client, connection between mind and body, connection between your authentic Self and all of the various ways in which you show up in the world. I have completed Internal Family Systems Level 1 training and love incorporating IFS into my work with clients. IFS is a holistic and evidence-based approach to healing.
