Chronic Illness Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Welcome! My name is Tamar June (she/her/hers) and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland and Virginia. I see individuals of all backgrounds, offering talk therapy to help clients live fulfilling lives. I work primarily with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, pain and chronic illness , substance use disorders, and relationship distress.

Do you feel stuck? Do you feel like you no longer recognize yourself? Have depression, anxiety, illness, or life stressors made it difficult to be true to yourself or live an authentic life? Through therapy, you can learn to break free of patterns that are keeping you stuck. You will learn to ride the waves of change that are an inevitable part of life. You will build your ability to recognize what can and cannot be changed, and learn to sit with difficult emotions. You will develop the skill to respond skillfully when life does not go according to plan, and will gain the confidence to create a life built around your values.

Life is messy and difficult. Sometimes you experience deep pain. But you never have to struggle alone. Maybe your life has been turned upside down by loss, a change in your family, or chronic illness . Maybe the life you're living isn't the life you pictured. You're exhausted, depressed, stuck. You want more - more connection, meaning, hope, and purpose. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am trained to help individuals, couples and families work through the sources of their struggles and to develop healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

Human interaction is powerful - and we often are unaware of the impact of our experiences until we speak them aloud to an understanding ear. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, affirming space so that we can explore issues and address problems together, working from your perspective. I work with adults and adolescents who have experienced grief and bereavement, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression, chronic illness , identity-based discrimination and life transitions - as well as those who are caregivers, exploring gender and/or sexuality, or are having difficulty at work. I am also trained in EMDR.

Life can be full of ups and downs. Therapy provides the opportunity to help you learn how to respond and cope with life's challenges in healthy way. I am a certified clinical social worker, specially trained to work with urban populations to address the unique challenges of individuals, couples, and families living and working in urban environments. You've survived your challenges, now its time to thrive.
