I’m an open, accepting individual with a genuine passion for helping people. From an early age, I found myself drawn to understanding others and supporting them through their challenges. Listening has always come naturally to me, and over time it became clear that I have a talent for identifying blind spots, offering perspective, and guiding people toward solutions. What I do doesn’t feel like work — it feels like a gift. Helping others gain clarity, grow, and move forward is something I truly treasure.

Greetings. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland. I have 15 years experience in trauma-informed care and have experience in many mental health challenges.

Boy, they right when they said relationships take work, but I'm here to do the hard work with you. I help couples identify the patterns keeping them stuck and navigate the hard conversations that feel too hot to touch.

I decided to become a counselor because I've always been the go to person and one that people trusted. I have a passion for helping other's and felt being a counselor would fulfill my purpose in life. I genuinely care about the wellbeing of others. I'm non-judgmental and easy to talk to.

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self. A licensed clinical social worker and board-certified supervisor with over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I spent much of that time working for the world-renowned Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Johns Hopkins affiliate, where I was also in leadership. I have post-graduate certificates in Treating Children & Adolescents, Leadership, Fitness Nutrition, and Integrative Medicine for Mental Health providers. More personally, I love hiking, watching Marvel movies, lifting weights, and crowd surfing at concerts. I believe we should never stop playing like children!

I’m a Christian, foster and adoptive mom, and part of a beautiful, blended family, which gives me a personal understanding of the joys and challenges families face.

I’m a born-and-raised New Yorker, raised by Caribbean immigrant parents who instilled in me the classic Millennial mantra: “You can achieve anything.” And while that belief fueled my ambition, it also came with a side order of generational challenges—perfectionism, chronic stress, anxiety, and a not-so-charming inability to gracefully handle life transitions. You know, the usual. But here’s the thing: hardship turned out to be my superpower. I became ambitious, self-aware, and checked all the right boxes, yet I couldn’t escape the cycle of mental and emotional roadblocks that left me feeling stuck, wondering how to truly move forward. This insight shaped not only my path but the way I guide others on theirs. Through my clinical work, I help high achieving millennials identify their patterns to move out of survival mode and into their surplus by bridging the gap between knowing and feeling —because being stuck isn’t who you are, and settling isn’t your story.

Hello, my name is Zacharia, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 20 years of experience providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based mental health services to children, adolescents, young adults, and families.

Kindly note: At this time, I am currently accepting new clients for weekday appointments only, between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Hi, I’m Stephanie—a therapist who helps overwhelmed parents of young children (ages 6 and under) feel calmer, more connected, and more confident in how they show up. If you’re navigating the sleep-deprived, overstimulating, “why is my child melting down again?” years (been there!), or moving through a major life change and worried about how it’s impacting your child, you’re in the right place. I specialize in the emotional side of early parenthood—helping parents understand both their child’s behavior and their own patterns, triggers, and emotional responses through a developmental, relationship-based lens. Many of the parents I work with come in feeling stretched thin—burnt out, reactive, guilty, overstimulated, or stuck in patterns they swore they’d break. If you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone—and it makes sense given how much you’re carrying. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, less reactive in hard moments, and more confident in how you respond to your child.

I am a passionate Licensed Professional Counselor serving clients in both Georgia and Maryland. I have over 25 years of experience as a Professional School Counselor in the State of Georgia and have been a licensed provider in the State of Maryland for the past three years.

What I love most about being a therapist is helping people change their lives in ways they never thought possible. I have the honor of walking alongside clients through moments of rediscovery, where they reconnect with their inner strength, challenge their life long patterns and feel whole again. I work primarily with adults and older adults, helping them heal from grief, anger, shame and change.

I help anxious clients discover a sense of control, serenity, and relief from what they perceive as chaos. Anxiety has been my "friend" (in some ways) throughout my life. It helped me reach my goals because I learned to notice its presence, how it teams with other emotions, how to speak to it, and how to tell it to lower its voice when it is not needed. Aside from my lived experience, I have been a therapist for the past, 6 years with adults of all ages and know that you can control it with tailored strategies I can provide.

Hello! My name is Douglas Starliper and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed to practice psychotherapy in both Maryland and Virginia! Before becoming a licensed therapist, I spent a career as a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division where I deployed four times. The struggles many Veterans are facing today are what galvanized my interest and desire to begin my 2nd career as a therapist. I utilized my GI bill to complete my undergraduate degree at McDaniel College in Westminster, MD and my graduate degree at University of Maryland Baltimore. I recently completed the supervised portion of my career and am currently fully licensed to practice independently as a LCSW-C.

You've always been the strong one. Right? As a bilingual Asian therapist (English/Mandarin) with over four years of clinical experience at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center's Community Psychiatry Program, I walked alongside adults through their darkest and brightest chapters — from life’s most overwhelming moments to recovery and the gradual return of joy. Through that experience, I witnessed how someone could radiate warmth for everyone around them while quietly burning out within. I specialize in supporting high-functioning individuals navigating people-pleasing, social anxiety, and interpersonal burnout, whether that shows up as persistent self-doubt, intrusive thoughts that feel impossible to shake, or an overwhelming need to keep others happy at your own expense. You are not alone, and it doesn't have to stay this way. I draw on an integrative approach across CBT, ERP, MI, and EMDR, tailored to who you are, where you have been, and where you want to go, committed to providing a safe and nurturing space for you to explore, heal, and grow.

We can build a vision of the person you are working to become, and help that person actualize. Welcome to the first step, it is now time to prepare for your journey!
