About me

Hello! My name is Colleen and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland. I have my MSW from the University of Maryland- Baltimore and have been practicing social work since 2015. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process during which we will identify your goals, strengths, and challenges, and come up with ways to address your challenges and celebrate your successes, no matter how big or small. I assist people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other serious mental illnesses with acceptance, treatment, and pursuing their goals. I can also assist you if are feeling overwhelmed by worries about the past or future. I utilize a mixture of evidence based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy skills, and motivational interviewing. I have experience working with adults with substance use disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and others. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions or are interested in setting up a session.

Colleen has been my therapist since before she came to Grow. No matter how urgent or anxious I’m feeling before a session, something about her presence and demeanor always just makes things feel so basic and manageable as I talk with her (or at her, really.). I go in feeling like “omgomg it’s falling apart I feel crazy aahhh” and leave feeling like I’ve got a simple little list of life tasks that I can totally handle. I don’t know how she does it, I just know that’s she’s great.
