Autism Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Rebecca Woodward
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C, RMT
Baltimore, MD 21224
Many of my clients come to therapy after years of insight, yet they still feel stuck in the same patterns. Others have felt unseen by traditional mental health approaches or worry therapy won’t fully honor their lived experiences, culture, or beliefs. I specialize in working with trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, and nervous system dysregulation by integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with body-based approaches that support lasting change—not just symptom management.

Dr. Temima Schwartz - Psychological Testing
Psychological Associate, PhD
Baltimore, MD 21209
I provide psychoeducational evaluations that give families a clear picture of their child’s learning profile. These assessments often help when a student is falling behind in reading or math, has trouble focusing, or when parents and schools are unsure whether challenges stem from ADHD, dyslexia, or another learning difference. The goal is to replace uncertainty with practical answers that can guide IEPs, 504 plans, or academic supports—so children feel more confident and better understood at school.

I offer individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish. Currently, all appointments are virtual (so we can work together no matter where you are in the state of Maryland)! While I have significant experience working with survivors of interpersonal and oppression-based traumas (particularly sexual violence, intimate partner violence, trafficking, and migration), my door is open to all. I use a feminist lens, and an integrative, trauma-informed, approach to therapy. In my practice, I strive to cultivate an affirming space, where you can experience acceptance, empowerment, and relief from suffering.

Raise your hand if you grew up hearing: “We don’t do that in this family/culture,” “Mental health issues are just laziness,” or “You are fine, stop being dramatic.” I can assure that your feelings are valid! My name is Prav and I am so proud of you for taking the first step towards recovery and living your best life. It takes an immense amount of courage to admit to needing help and I thank you for taking time to take care of yourself! I believe that all achievements, no matter the size, deserve to be celebrated. I tend to use a more casual tone and love incorporating humor into my work, and can become serious when appropriate.

On paper, your life looks a lot like you were told it should. You're handling your job, relationships, responsibilities. But something's off. It's harder than it should be. You're more tired than makes sense or less present than you want. I work with high-functioning adults navigating the gap between how things look and how they feel. Sometimes it's undiagnosed ADHD or neurodivergence. Maybe anxiety is running the show. Sometimes it's living inauthentically for so long you forgot what authentic feels like. My ideal client wants to close that gap and live congruently with their actual goals and values. If that's you, let's talk.
