Female Therapists in Mount Vernon, Baltimore, MD

Jessica Adams is licensed in Maryland with several years of work experience. She has experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma, and abuse. She works with clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out help; helping is her role.

I love helping clients to connect with their authentic selves and strengthen their relationships. I work from a framework that explores the ways that early experiences can shape current patterns of relating. My work is also guided by the understanding that many clients' difficulties are impacted by systems of oppression such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and gender discrimination. Most importantly, this space centers on you and what you're bringing into it; I'm not here to judge, criticize, or fix you, but instead support you in learning about your own internal world.

Hi! Here you are at the beginning of your journey towards personal growth and healing. Whatever has brought you to this moment may not be all figured out, and I want you to know that is okay. I believe the therapeutic relationship should be a good fit between you and I. I specialize in mental health for people of color, with a strong focus on Black mental health and racial trauma.I help individuals develop the tools and awareness needed to manage Anxiety, Self-Esteem/Confidence Issues, Relationship Challenges, Dating Frustrations, Racial Identity & Life Transitions.I want you to feel seen, heard, and understood.

I feel honored to work with people navigating challenging life transitions, working through trauma, and coping with depression and anxiety.

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

I believe that healing is a collaborative journey of connection, growth, and transformation, and that every individual has the innate ability to heal and grow to live a valued and meaningful life. I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where you will feel seen and valued, partnering with you to foster a deeper connection with yourself and others. Together, we will celebrate both progress and the quest for greater well-being while honoring your unique path as you build strength and resilience to move from surviving to thriving.

I work from a strengths-based framework utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your own assets. My work with adults and teens is trauma-informed and skills-based utilizing EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also specialize in substance abuse and know the difficulty that can arise when struggling with a mental health condition.

Weekend appointments available. I appreciate an open dialogue with my clients that incorporates feedback to ensure their needs are being met during our time together.  In my view, the client-therapist relationship should prioritize honesty and respect and while diagnosing is one aspect of psychotherapy, I am most interested in how your daily life is being impacted and what we can do in our work together to develop coping and awareness that will bring more harmony and help you lead a more fulfilled life.

As you encounter life and its many hurdles, you can be presented with challenging situations, transitions in life, and unforeseen circumstances. If you are struggling with the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or traumatic memories, it can be helpful to have the space and a person at your side to walk with you in navigating these challenges. Some of my specific clinical interests include processing and healing from religious-based trauma and coming out as LGBTQIA. I am licensed in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Our past can teach us a lot about ourselves and how we not only see the world but also how we react to it. I’m here to help you explore those significant moments that may have set you on this path, and reframe your thinking so that you can overcome those negative thoughts and emotions that may be keeping you from being the best version of yourself you can be. Through cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness based interventions, like guided meditation, body scanning, and breath work, I will help you create new habits that will set you on a path to becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be.

I work specifically with adults struggling with sex-related issues. These include, but are not limited to: intimacy issues in relationships; lack of sexual education in young adulthood; infidelity; sexual dysfunction; couples in ethical non-monogamous relationships looking for guidance with communication or other relationships; and individuals who are in the kink, BDSM, or sex-work communities and would like informed therapeutic care.

It can be hard to take the step in starting work with a new therapist, especially when we feel our most vulnerable and are suffering. I work with the perspective that the therapeutic relationship between you and myself is of the greatest importance in order to achieve your goals in seeking therapeutic support and guidance. Although I am primarily trained in psychodynamic therapy, I have an eclectic approach in treating a wide variety of psychological struggles which I tailor to each client's needs and preferences.

Life can be challenging and leave us feeling overwhelmed. Maybe an important relationship just ended (or needs to end) and you are limping through life. Or maybe you lost your job, your health, or your sense of direction in life, leaving you feeling anxious, unsafe, and lacking control. When you go through difficulties, it’s important to have a safe space to share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment or shame. You need someone who believes that healing and growth are possible for everyone—no matter what they’ve been through—and who has the tools and training to help you get back to a place of wholeness.

It can be difficult to open up and talk about your life stressors to someone you don’t know. Sometimes we can feel unheard or alone and just need someone who can be a helping, nonjudgmental, and listening ear. The hardest part can be finding the words to express ourselves and process what can feel like a jumbled mess and you just need someone to help put the scattered puzzle pieces together to create a beautiful picture. Aristotle said it best, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” I can help with building coping skills, work on effective communication, self-expression, processing trauma/grief, and mindfulness.

Welcome to a therapeutic space where the focus is not on what's "wrong" with you, but rather on celebrating your journey towards emotional health & wellness. I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to fostering acceptance, self-discovery, and emotional well-being. In my practice, I believe in embracing the concept of mental health as an integral part of our overall wellness. Just as we prioritize our physical health through primary care services, I advocate for the recognition and celebration of strategies that promote emotional health. It's about exploring the depths of self-discovery, resiliency and healing.
