Teletherapy for Maryland

I believe that true healing happens when a challenge is addressed holistically, and when the client is seen as a whole person. Therapy with me is a safe space to explore your connection with any uncomfortable emotions, disruptive thoughts and behavioral patterns, as well as, complicated relationships with the individuals in your life. I am especially passionate about working with those who suffer with pain and trauma from the past and who are interested in exploring how it affects their everyday life.

I invite you to reach out about my waitlist for appointments as they come open. HI! My name is Smith (they/them) and I deeply value clients feeling heard and believed. One of the coolest things I get to do is walk with people as they move toward what wellness means to them. Clients I work with are dealing with anxiety, depression, body image struggles, disordered eating, coming out, transitioning, dissociation, relationship conflict, acute and complex trauma, and more.

Sometimes, core parts of who we are fall outside of what is considered normal or acceptable. It can feel impossible to understand yourself. You might feel invisible or wonder if you’re really the problem. You know that hiding these parts of yourself doesn’t feel right and isn’t sustainable. At the same time, you question whether it’s worth all the pain that might come from fully exploring and expressing yourself without hiding your identity, isolating from others, or masking. You may already have a strong sense of your identity and know what would help but feel that it's not accessible or possible.

Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts, anxiety, panic, and depression? Do you find yourself in an unfulfilling relationship, feeling disconnected, isolated, and misunderstood? Do you have difficulties with communication, emotional and sexual intimacy? I help people change how they relate to themselves and the people around them to live more fulfilling and satisfying lives.

I am a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland, DC, and South Carolina. I approach my practice through a lens of anti-oppression, feminist, and queer theory. Recognizing the healing potential of the therapeutic relationship, I emphasize client-centered therapy that values and honors all aspects of my clients' identities. I continuously strive to address my power and privilege, serving as an ally to BIPOC, disabled individuals, sex workers, those living in poverty, fat/larger bodied individuals, immigrants, houseless individuals, the aging population, individuals under the age of 18, and those who are or have been incarcerated.

I aim to garden healing so that my clients can more vibrantly and intentionally shape change as their truest selves. I'm genderqueer, transmasculine, queer, and enjoy working with clients across the gender and sexuality spectrum, including trans, genderqueer, non-binary, intersex, LGB and pansexual-identified individuals, and individuals in diverse relationship structures including polyamory and ethical non-monogamy. I'm kink/BDSM-affirming, sex and body-positive. I've worked w/artists, professionals, organizers/activists, students, and disabled individuals and couples. I am trained in Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.

Life can be very hard and finding support through those events can be challenging. As a mental health therapist, I work with clients to help them cope with and find working strategies to deal with struggles and challenges. My therapy style is interpersonal, goal-directed and strengths-based.

Are you struggling with stress from work, family relationships, addictions, or life transitions? Have you suffered loss of a child, parent, friend or significant other? You don't need to bare your burden alone. Life is filled with ups and downs, and therapy can be a valuable tool in building upon your own strengths to cope with challenges. With a diverse background in social work with families, post-incarceration, addictions, job searching and job coaching, I am experienced working with clients dealing with loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and addiction.

Reaching out for help when our lives become unmanageable or challenging can seem overwhelming and even insurmountable at times. Whether trauma, anxiety, or relational - healing is not linear, there is an ebb and flow we must experience to find our true selves. Sitting in transitional moments of emotion as we process memories and experiences is often considered the most important part of the therapeutic journey. It is in these moments we find clarity, knowledge, deep meaning, love, and strength. These moments become the catalyst for change.

I'm a queer neurodivergent therapist deeply committed to promoting meaningful change in the lives of neurodivergent folx struggling with disordered eating, obsessional doubt, and anxiety. My practice is grounded in a liberatory and equity framework that recognizes the impact of systemic oppression on mental health. I embrace an anti-carceral approach to care where clients actively shape their treatment under my guidance. I strive to show up authentically for my clients to help them challenge societal expectations and cultural norms. If you've ever been told you're "too much" or "not enough," we might be a good fit.

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Maryland and work with individuals in their late teens through all stages of adulthood. I have experience helping people who live with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and developmental disabilities. As an intern at Sound Behavioral Health in Seattle and Johns Hopkins Community Psychiatry Program, I provided individual and group psychotherapy to diverse populations virtually and in-person. My past volunteer experience includes counseling people on a suicide hotline and giving emotional support to people on the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) helpline.

Want to support your transgender or nonbinary child? Looking for a therapist with some shared lived experiences but also plain old therapist experience? People who work with me say things like "I'm worried about a relationship", "Life totally sucks right now and I don't know what to do", "How do I navigate parenthood on top of everything else"?, "It's hard to find my community and I'm lonely", "I've becoming a 'professional gay' which comes with its own challenges" . "I am leaving or have left an abusive relationship". If you're ready for some deep exploration that honors your values, culture, and spiritual practices, let's do it!

As a queer and nonbinary person who has worked in the public education field for over 10 years, there was always one thing I wanted to be: someone I needed when I was younger. Representation matters, and for the LGBTQIA+ community being visible and understood also matters. That’s where my passion for the mental health field grew into becoming a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. I want to be a support for anyone who has felt left out of these spaces. I don’t believe there is only one way to approach therapy. I am eclectic and holistic in my approaches and will work with you to find the best possible fit for your journey!

My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a supportive, safe, and welcoming environment to dig deep and make conscious, meaningful change through a variety of methods based on what works for you. Through building skills and resilence, I will help you to find empowerment to take charge of your life, manage symptoms, and live in accordance to your personal values.

Peace, I’m Shayne. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist dedicated to providing inclusive and affirming mental health support for individuals within the QTBIPOC community. As a Black TransMasc person, I understand the unique challenges and experiences that QTBIPOC individuals may face, and I strive to create a safe and accepting space for all clients. I have extensive experience working with clients across various identities within the 2SLGBTQ+ folx in addition to couples.

My work focuses on clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, disability/chronic illness, life transitions, or who are seeking self-exploration and growth. Together we can find ways to cope with life’s uncertainties and live a life aligned with your values. It is important to have a space where you can feel seen and affirmed, and where you can show up as your authentic self. As a therapist, I aim to create a collaborative and supportive relationship, where we can identify and work towards your goals.

Currently only accepting BCBS insurance. Whether you're new to therapy or you've been in therapy before, reaching out takes courage: thanks for being here. I primarily work with young and middle-aged adults, many of whom are queer and have ADHD/autism. I treat anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, and also support clients looking to better know themselves or their identity. I also love to work with folks who want to learn how to show up better in relationships and who want to learn to love themselves.

I provide a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and safe space for clients. I work collaboratively in areas such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues through a focus on self-awareness, self-acceptance, and communication skills. I utilize creative interventions personalized to each individual or family. As a licensed school counselor and professional therapist, I work closely with children, families, and adults around topics of gender identity, non-traditional family structures, and neurodiversity. I often work with autism, ADHD, school or workplace accommodations, relationship issues, life skills, and major transitions.
