Therapists licensed in Maryland

Before we start today, let me explain to you a little bit about who I am and what I do. I work for Grow Therapy providing therapy to clients who present with various issues. My job is to identify and target any problems you might be experiencing and work with you to create and implement a treatment plan to address these issues. Today I am going to spend about 45 minutes with you to get an understanding of your life. At the end of today's session, we will create a set of recommendations to start the helping process.

I am Dr. Regina Johnson, a warm therapist, veteran, chaplain, and professor. I help adults and couples face anxiety, grief, trauma, conflict, and life change. My care is holistic and culturally aware. I offer a safe space to feel heard, build skills, heal old wounds, find hope, and thrive again.

** COUPLES THERAPY ONLY** I am a multi-state licensed psychotherapist and relationship expert with almost 20 years in the mental health field. I am experienced in working with couples who are looking for support, clarity and problem solving skills in a safe, non-judgmental space. Please rest assure that you have come to the right place for guidance. It's great that you recognize the benefits of processing your emotions and concerns with a therapist who can help guide you in working through the challenges. The idea of you considering therapy tells me that you are looking for change to take place because something you are or aren't doing is no longer working. This is where change happens...this is a very solution-driven space. The sessions are actively engaging, honest, direct, and transformative. We don't get to just talk about it here; we do something about it. Through challenging exercises, role-plays, dissecting, and insightful discussions; we see change. Your expectations and openness to learn new skills is significant to the process of the positive change you can be proud of.

I am a clinical social worker, therapist & life coach. I collaborate with clients in facilitating their ability to navigate their journey through change. I provide clients the opportunity to learn, change and grow, and I provide guidance for them to learn healthy adaptive ways to improve their response to encounters with life stressors and challenging life situations. Clients are engaged in various evidence based therapeutic interventions and the exploration and discovery of their untapped potential, so they can harness the necessary skills and strategies to facilitate behavioral change. In the scope of my practice I aim to empower clients through sessions that are based on a holistic, client driven approach. I view clients through the lens of their personal environment, as their well-being is significantly shaped by their life experiences. In addressing clients presenting issues, I take into consideration the correlation between their presenting issues and their environment; i.e., social, cultural and physical, that contribute to current challenging life circumstances. Focus is given to past experiences and current situations to help them navigate their therapy encounter and future successfully.

Whether you're considering therapy for the first time or looking for someone new to work with, I'm glad you've found your way here. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland and West Virginia, with 23 years of experience in therapy, case management, child welfare, education, and behavioral health. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with couples, parents, children, homemakers, retirees, and professionals from many different backgrounds, including first responders, healthcare workers, educators, attorneys, and military personnel. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma, grief/loss, stress, parenting concerns, behavioral challenges, low self-esteem, addictions, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, including career changes and retirement. My experience also includes consultation, court testimony, adoption/foster care, crisis intervention, EAP, Abuse Intervention Programs, juvenile sex offender treatment programs, and supporting survivors of domestic/sexual abuse. I also work with students from elementary school through college, graduate school, and professional programs, supporting their academic, social, and emotional needs. My approach is genuine, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you feel seen, heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Everyone's journey is different, and we'll focus on what matters most to you at a pace that feels right. I genuinely care about the clients I work with and value the relationships we build. I've had the privilege of working with clients over extended periods, supporting them through different seasons of life, challenges, and accomplishments. I never take for granted the trust someone places in me when sharing the most personal parts of their life. Come as you are, and we'll start there. If you're ready to begin, I would be honored to work alongside you. ***My couples and family therapy caseload is currently full. ***I am unable to provide crisis services through telehealth therapy.

You're showing up every day — at work, for your family, for everyone who counts on you — and from the outside, it looks like you've got it all figured out.

I'm Season, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and the founder of U Matter Counseling. I work with professionals who are high-functioning on the surface but quietly struggling with anxiety, stress, and the pressure of trying to hold it all together.

My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and Person-Centered techniques. I also integrate faith-based perspectives for clients who find meaning in their spirituality. Sessions are 100% virtual, so you can get the support you need from wherever feels most comfortable.

Hi, my name is Jen Bowman and I have been a Social Worker since 2007. I am passionate about helping young adults and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and grief and loss. I have worked in various settings throughout the years including foster care, out-patient mental health clinics, dialysis clinics, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. We can all feel depressed or anxious at times, but when we feel that way for a prolonged period, it may be time to consider getting support. People suffering from depression often experience symptoms such as isolation, negative self-talk, low motivation, sleep disturbance, low energy, hopelessness, helplessness, etc. When someone is suffering from anxiety, they often experience excessive worrying, agitation, irritability, restlessness, intrusive thoughts, difficulty concentrating, difficulty in social situations, panic attacks, etc. These are all things that I can help you with.

I hope to foster growth and strengthen coping skills during difficult transitional points in a person’s life. I am interested in exploring my clients' family of origin and attachment styles. I have a special sensitivity to sociocultural factors and intergenerational trauma. I embrace the complexities that make up the lived experiences of my clients and affirm their unique identities.

I use a blend of practical, evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT-informed strategies, and solution-focused therapy to help you build coping skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and move toward meaningful change. During our time together, my goal is to create a space where you can finally exhale. I take a warm, down-to-earth, and nonjudgmental approach. We’ll not only explore what’s been weighing on you, but also focus on practical tools you can use in your daily life—whether that’s calming racing thoughts, setting boundaries, or feeling more in control of your emotions.

Amr understands and believes that life's journey can be messy and filled with detours, unexpected turns and stops along the way, and that the therapeutic process is a collaborative relationship which leads the clients to deep insight and self-awareness, to find a clearer perception of themselves in a safe space to increase personal strength while working to reduce maladaptive behaviors in pursuit of a more meaningful life experience.

My name is Christen Yassin and I have been in this field for 18 years. I have a wealth of experience and love to help people become their best selves. I am a great listener.

Welcome — I’m Glad You’re Here For more than 13 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals navigate some of life’s most difficult moments. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults and families experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns and diagnoses. I have developed a particular passion for supporting young women, from adolescence through their 40s, as they navigate the emotional, relational, and life challenges that come with growing and finding themselves. I believe therapy should be more than simply talking about what is wrong. It should help you understand yourself, your diagnosis, and how it impacts your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily functioning.

My approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing, while remaining individualized to your unique needs.

I bring authenticity, compassion and lived experience to my work. I understand that you can know what you should do and still struggle to do it. You can be accomplishing things, caring for everyone else, and quietly struggling inside. Therapy can be the space where you no longer have to carry everything alone. My goal is not simply to help you feel better temporarily. I want to help you create lasting change. Together, we will work toward greater self-understanding, emotional well-being, confidence and resilience, so you can navigate life successfully and become the healthiest, most authentic version of yourself. You do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. You simply have to be willing to take the first step.

I want to inspire you to be the best you can be. Life is full of challenges and your perspective on how you face them can make the difference in your ability to meet your full potential.

I have worked in a variety of settings including child welfare, outpatient mental health clinics, as a ACT Clinician, a Clinician with the IAFF COE, and have had my own private practice.

I am a compassionate, supportive, and genuine professional who believes everyone can grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their life.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and collaborative, focusing on meeting each person where they are while helping them identify their strengths, understand challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward their goals. I believe therapy is not a one-sided relationship but rather a partnership, and I encourage clients to take an active role in their growth and personal development. My ideal client is someone ready for change, open to self-reflection, and willing to take steps toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and gently direct.

**Hello there! My name is Alexis Staton, LCSW-C.** I am a first-generation graduate and postgraduate African American cisgender female dedicated to breaking generational cycles. My own life experiences have drawn me to this field, and I understand that doing the work on oneself is a significant and challenging task. I hold both a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Master of Social Work with a focus on Urban Child Welfare and Families from Morgan State University. As an interventionist, I strive to connect authentically with my clients, empowering them to embrace all their experiences, which ultimately shape who they are and how they "show up in the world." As a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) mental health therapist, I bring almost a decade of clinical experience to my practice. I have provided both intensive and outpatient treatment, helping clients overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma through various treatment modalities designed to promote optimum functionality. My work often included participating on interdisciplinary teams, maintaining ongoing collaboration with primary care providers, psychiatrists, and public school IEP teams, among others.

https://www.egracellc.com/ I believe healing happens in relationship. Together, we'll create a path toward what matters most to you, whether that's quieting the steady hum of anxiety or finding your way out from under the weight of chronic stress. Many of us carry more than we let on: the aftermath of a life-threatening illness, wounds from early relationships, connections that left us wanting, or disappointments that knocked the wind out of us. Wherever your story begins, our work is about helping you feel steady on your feet and ready to make meaningful change. I listen deeply to your lived experience and draw on a range of approaches to support you through life's complexities. You'll find in me a blend of candid insight, honest reflection, and genuine warmth, so even the hardest conversations feel productive, and never something you have to face alone.

If years of therapy, medication, books, and coping skills haven't created the change you're looking for, it may be because you've been treating the symptoms instead of the patterns producing them. Many of my clients come to me feeling frustrated, wondering why they understand their struggles yet continue to repeat the same thoughts, emotional reactions, relationship dynamics, or behaviors. My approach focuses on identifying and disrupting the developmental patterns driving those experiences by working with the brain and nervous system where they were formed and continue to be reinforced. Rather than teaching you how to better manage the same struggles, my goal is to help you create meaningful, lasting transformation so you can move forward with greater freedom, clarity, and confidence.

My name is Adalia Dominique. I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with six years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and periods of personal growth. Taking the step to seek therapy is meaningful, and I’m glad you’re giving yourself the opportunity to receive support and invest in your well-being. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and openly exploring what’s on your mind.

If you can read this, you made the first step. Congratulations. Seeking therapy is hard. Most people delay and tell themselves that whatever they are experiencing must be the way life is. Chances are if you have reached the point to begin exploring therapy, counseling can help make your life better. While therapy is often hard, it can be an enjoyable and uplifting experience as well. I believe that you cannot laugh without a combination of insight and relief. You can expect some humor in most sessions. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for over 20 years. In that time I have worked with men, women, teens, and families on a wide variety of issues. Sometimes that work simply involved helping them through a particular incident or life change that overwhelmed them. Other times our work together centered around longstanding issues of depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. In addition to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy, I also offer a fourth-wave therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I have found this technique to be highly effective in helping people with trauma and or anxiety. Our minds and bodies are connected. Anyone who has experienced a tight neck and shoulders or an upset stomach when they were stressed knows this. EFT uses acupressure (done by the client) and cognitive interventions to provide fast and effective relief. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I am ready to help you through the challenges you are facing. In addition to counseling, I also provide vocational testing, coaching, and consulting. I provide both Christian and secular counseling depending on the needs of my clients. For clients with high level confidentiality concerns due to corporate or clearance issues, there are ways we can do EFT without you ever speaking out loud about events.

Welcome, I am warm, attentive, and capable! Seasoned with wisdom, curiosity, and plenty of skills to help individuals who are ready to embrace every part of themselves! Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed by life circumstances? Have you been struggling to make things make sense but instead find yourself stuck in cycles of frustration despite attempts to figure things out on your own? I specialize in helping women with anxiety and depression disorders. I love creating a safe, non-judgmental environment that enables you to get to the core of your struggles. Together we can find clarity and identify what's not working and explore evidence-based techniques to help you breakthrough cycles and overcome. We'll integrate mindfulness practices and use holistic approaches to address your mind, body and spirit needs. I do understand that pursuing therapy can feel uncertain but you're making the right choice to invest in your healing and growth. Looking forward to working with you. Cynthia Holden, LCPC
