Maryland Therapists who take Aetna - Lucent Health

I am a flexible counselor, comfortable using an eclectic mix of interventions from multiple theoretical modalities to suit the unique needs of each client. My default approach is a mix of psychodynamic and cognitive interventions, with an overarching focus on the importance of narrative meaning-making in the emotional lives of clients. I have experience working with clients from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds and age groups, ages 18 and up. I offer couples and family counseling but am not a specialist in those fields. In my free time, I enjoy playing strategy board, card and computer games. I am an amateur poet and animal lover, as well as an avid camper.

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!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting children, women, and families through life’s challenges, I am genuinely excited to offer a therapy space where you can feel safe, supported, and free to be yourself. Our work together will promote healing and growth while also making room for honesty, creativity, laughter, and learning to give ourselves a little more grace along the way. With specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, and creative expressive arts, I help clients explore how past experiences, relationships, negative thoughts, and behavioral patterns may be impacting how they feel and live today. From there, we work together to build practical coping skills and create healthier patterns that support the life you want to live. My style is warm, real, strengths-based, and interactive. Building a strong therapeutic relationship matters to me, and I take time to truly get to know my clients beyond their symptoms or diagnosis. You can expect me to listen, ask questions, teach, encourage, offer perspective, and sometimes challenge you with compassion. I believe in noticing the small wins and creating a space where there is no shame in being a work in progress. My professional journey has included behavioral health, child welfare, crisis services, leadership, and clinical practice. I’m also a University of Maryland graduate, DMV native, and mother of two. Both my professional and personal experiences shape the compassion and practicality I bring to therapy. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling heard and grounded, while also gaining greater insight and practical tools you can use outside of our sessions. Therapy is a partnership, but ultimately, I want to help you develop skills, confidence, and compassion for yourself that you can carry forward into your everyday life.

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 Jess. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling with life's challenges? As a licensed counselor, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can openly express your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we'll explore the root causes of your concerns, develop coping strategies, and work towards achieving your personal goals. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship issues, or seeking self-growth, I provide evidence-based interventions tailored to your unique needs. I am committed to helping you navigate through difficult times, enhance your well-being, and discover your inner strengths. Let's embark on a transformative journey to empower you and create positive changes in your life.

Welcome! My name is Christian; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent over the last 9 years assisting individuals negotiate through some of life's hardest challenges - anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, grief, life transitions, and other life circumstances - through approaches of compassion, sensible support, and insight. I have worked across multiple settings, including outpatient treatment, community programs, residential treatment, employee assistance programs, and other acute settings. I believe there is no universal method for therapy because each of us has a unique journey in life. Therapy works best when the conversation feels authentic, along with following a clinical approach that is clearly defined and best fits YOU. Outside of work, I enjoy music, hiking, kayaking, and board games.

Hi my name is Carilyn Rego, but I go by Carrie. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Maryland and Florida who has been working in the mental health field for 17 years. I specialize in working with clients 18+ and those who identify as Neurodiverse and LGBTQIA+. I have my MSW from Monmouth University and have worked in a variety of different settings and in different states.

I am a Marine Corps Veteran, Army wife, a mother, and a former educator. I want to make it clear that I may not be the right therapist for everyone, and neither do I strive to be. I focus on finding solutions that work for you. I am not a "how do you feel about that" therapist. I am a reality therapist who can provide long-term help for various mental health issues. I am a faith-based therapist who believes in God, but ultimately, my passion lies in helping people, regardless of their beliefs. I am dedicated to helping others reach their full potential, regardless of their beliefs. I am a former school therapist, and for the last 6 years, I've been working with adults (basically, after my cohort of students graduated, about 60% wanted to keep me as a therapist, and I started working with both teens and adults). I am the therapist who will be invested in your change; I will not always agree with you, I will challenge you, I will always be honest with you, and I will always have your best interest at heart. Your change is my priority!

I am an LCSW-C who believes in keeping therapy real, raw, and meaningful. My approach is both clinical and deeply empathetic—I meet clients where they are without enabling, but instead empowering them to reach their goals. Flexible in my use of modalities, I tailor treatment to fit your unique needs. I specialize in anxiety, depression, couples counseling, family dynamic concerns, and life stressors, helping you build resilience, clarity, and lasting change in your life and relationships.

I am a clinically licensed social worker in Virginia with over 10 years experience working as a counselor with adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anger management, relationship issues, goal setting and achievement, and parenting problems. My counseling style is upbeat, motivational, and interactive. I believe in getting to know each person as a unique individual and working creatively to incorporate your beliefs, values, and important life experiences into reaching your goals. My approach is very client-centered with a focus in cognitive-behavioral therapy. I will work with you to understand and meet your specific needs and desires.

Hi! I'm Veronica, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) with over 12 years of experience providing therapy. Many of us yearn for a sense of peace, connection, and well-being in our lives. However, life circumstances and internal struggles can often hinder our ability to experience these deeply fulfilling states. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your challenges and emotional pain. My goal is to support your growth and healing journey, empowering you to cultivate greater self-awareness, develop effective coping mechanisms, and live a more fulfilling life. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family (two teenagers and three dogs), practicing Pilates, and cheering on the Celtics. I am licensed in Maryland, DC, Virginia, Minnesota and Ohio.

I became a therapist because I saw how powerfully transformative having a safe space could be in my life and the lives of my loved ones. It is my firm belief that everyone can benefit from therapy if they are well matched to the person they are working with. Over the course of the past decade, I've honed specialty focus on trauma-informed care, LGBTQ+, kink/sex positivity, human sexuality, women's empowerment, relationships and family sessions, and gaining a strong sense of self and direction in the face of challenging life circumstances. If these areas of treatment resonate with you, I'd love to schedule a time to connect about what you are looking for in a therapist. I completed my undergraduate degree in Communication Studies at UCLA and completed my MSW at University of Southern California. I am licensed in California and Pennsylvania. My clinical focus areas include trauma, relationships, sexuality, gender and the personality disorder spectrum in addition to working extensively with associated comorbidities such as anxiety and depression. I am a believer in whole-person wellness and am able to integrate yogic principles, creative arts and mindfulness into sessions to assist with deeper work. At the present time I am accepting remote access clients via telehealth; I look forward to meeting you and am excited to work toward your goals with you!

I am here for you. My name is Dr. Jay Rhodes, and I am a board-certified, a Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist (LCMFT) in Maryland, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor (LMFT-S) and Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) in Oklahoma and Texas, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC-S) in Florida. I have extensive education, experience, and expertise in various fields of counseling, ministry, and human relations. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures in various settings, such as military bases, combat zones, hospitals, schools, embassies, consulates, and nonprofit homeless ministries. I taught Marriage & Family Therapy (Trauma, Grief, and Counseling Theory) at the graduate level and provide clinical supervision for Texas A&M-Central Texas. I have a passion for helping individuals find healing, growth, and transformation in their lives. I have helped individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and groups deal with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, anger, traumatic stress, and relationships. I have helped others; I can help you.

Hi, I'm Gabriella, I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) since 2013, but I have been in the mental health field since 2006. We all know that in recent years, specifically starting in 2020, our life as we knew it drastically changed. Our relationships with our family, friends, coworkers and even ourselves appeared to stall indefinitely. We had to learn to maneuver in different ways to try and have a sense of "normalcy." But as we tried to navigate this new way of life, our mental health has suffered. We have noticed that depression, anxiety, and relationship/interpersonal issues have been rising because we have isolated ourselves for so long. As people, we are social beings and tend to gravitate towards social situations. Within the last year, rules and mandates have eased, and we are resuming to our "new normal," and maybe we are feeling hesitant and vulnerable to step out. Reaching out for help is very difficult but the most rewarding decisions you make. We can work together to make step by step goals so you can achieve your success.

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’m Dr. Adrienne B. Ellis, Psy.D., LCPC, LPC, founder of NTouch Mental Health Services, LLC. I am a compassionate, client-centered therapist dedicated to helping adults (18 and older) navigate life’s challenges with confidence, clarity, and resilience. I proudly serve individuals from diverse backgrounds, including people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community, in an affirming, culturally responsive, and supportive environment. My approach blends evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a collaborative style that empowers clients to better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, and create meaningful change. For clients who desire it, I also offer a faith-informed perspective that honors spiritual values alongside clinical care. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where every client feels seen, respected, and supported while working toward emotional healing and personal growth.

Hello, I’m Kumi Pledger, LCPC, and I am currently accepting new clients. I am also available on Sundays to better accommodate busy schedules. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, couples, families, and LGBTQ+ clients. I support individuals facing a wide range of concerns, including healing from traumatic experiences, navigating relationship challenges such as narcissistic abuse, managing anxiety, low motivation, and stress, supporting new and expectant mothers, addressing eating disorders, adjusting to new environments or careers, coping with grief and loss, and improving sleep and insomnia. My work is grounded in creating a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I combine professional training with personal insight to help clients reduce anxiety, eliminate unwanted behaviors, restore emotional balance, and reconnect with joy, purpose, and confidence in their lives. I work best with clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled in many directions, particularly during life transitions or periods of identity change. Many of my clients appear strong and capable on the outside but feel exhausted, disconnected, or uncertain internally. I understand the complexities of cultural expectations, family dynamics, and the pressure to manage multiple responsibilities. My ideal client is ready to gain clarity, strengthen boundaries, and live more authentically. Clinically, I integrate evidence-based approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and culturally responsive therapy. These approaches help clients increase self-awareness, identify patterns contributing to distress, and develop practical coping strategies that support long-term growth and healing. If you often feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure of your next steps, you are not alone. Life transitions, parenting responsibilities, cultural pressures, and personal identity challenges can create stress and uncertainty. With the right support, meaningful change is possible, and I am here to help guide you on that journey.

MALES-ONLY THERAPIST*** Jason has experience working with Males with a variety of presenting concerns, such as substance use, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, and trauma. Jason earned his Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. He gives a lot of feedback--not-like what you see in the movies. He’s a dog-person and mixes-up how he takes his coffee--but it's usually an Americano.

I am a licensed therapist who works with adults navigating anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and life transitions, as well as the feeling of being overwhelmed even when life appears “put together” on the outside. Many of my clients are used to pushing through and showing up for others, while quietly dealing with stress, self-doubt, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. In our work together, I provide a supportive and collaborative space where you can slow down, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what you’re experiencing. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and person-centered therapy to help you build practical coping skills while also exploring deeper patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. My goal is to help you feel more calm, clear, and confident as you navigate daily life, relationships, and internal pressure.

**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. This holistic approach ensures comprehensive care and supports the diverse needs of my clients. My goal is to facilitate healing and growth, helping individuals achieve their best possible mental health and well-being.

Welcome to my profile. I'm a clinical social worker licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania. I also have a PhD in psychology, a clinical trauma certification, and am a 200-hr trained yoga instructor.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of experience working with adults and adolescents. I work with people from different backgrounds and cultures who face a variety of challenges. I've gained my experience by working in corrections, hospitals, schools, community outpatient programs, and private practice. Hence, I've seen mental health concerns create obstacles in many areas of life, including school, employment, relationships, parenting, and spirituality. I became a mental health professional to help remove these barriers as we work collaboratively on this therapeutic journey. I believe that self-exploration can be achieved in a variety of ways, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral approaches, and trauma-informed care. We will explore underlying patterns of behavior while also developing skills to manage stress. I love helping people learn about themselves to achieve growth and feel better. I believe in a nonjudgmental approach that provides a safe environment. There's no problem too small to talk about. If something is affecting you, then it's worth the conversation, and you don't have to suffer in silence. Getting started is one of the hardest parts, but you're worth it. So, contact me to schedule an appointment. I look forward to working with you!

https://www.egracellc.com/ My practice is built on the belief that healing happens in connection with others.

Greetings, my name is Soncheray. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience. I started Fruitful Life Counseling Services to help individuals understand the "fruit" they bear. How are you showing up in the world-but most of all for yourself! Are you showing up for you at all? You have already taken the first step by searching for someone to talk to; you have started the process-BUT WHAT NOW? I specialize in helping individuals accurately identify what is holding them back. Being able to accurately put words to our emotions is so important in identifying the correct coping strategy. It's no secret that when we feel overwhelmed in one area, we start to feel a sense of powerlessness that transfers into other areas if not addressed. When the transfer happens, we often don't know where the stress or trigger is coming from. Powerlessness can emerge for a number of different reasons. Something triggered these feelings you have. My role in the helping relationship is to help you identify and face your emotions, rather than avoid them. It is time to take your power back, and trust your intuition again. You will never win the race against the thing(s) you're running from. It's time to stop running. Let's get started.

I care about outcomes as much as I care about the therapeutic process which means you'll leave sessions with more than just insight. You'll leave with practical methods to apply to your everyday life.

Hi, I’m Abby! I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland, and I believe therapy shouldn’t feel like a chore—it should actually be a space where you laugh, grow, and surprise yourself along the way. I work with people who are juggling anxiety, stress, self-doubt, and life transitions (aka: being human). As a school counselor turned therapist and business owner, I know life can throw curveballs, and sometimes you need a mix of practical tools, encouragement, and a little humor to get through it. My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and yes—spunky. I’ll cheer you on, challenge you when needed, and help you find creative ways to navigate life that actually work for you. Clients often tell me they feel both comfortable and energized after sessions, which is exactly the vibe I aim for: safe, authentic, and a little fun. If you’re looking for a therapist who can help you manage the hard stuff while reminding you that you’re stronger than you think—you’ve come to the right place.

I look forward to working together

I believe everyone needs a space to share, identify, process and determine “what now” as that is what helps us better manage our present and create our future.

Do you ever feel like you know exactly why you do the thing, and then go right ahead and do the thing anyway? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) ) with a passion for deep, philosophical discussions about meaning and purpose. I take a solution focused approach to therapy, emphasizing both self-exploration and the development of practical coping skills. Therapy with me is not just about talking, it’s about actively building tools to help clients manage emotions, improve relationships, and create meaningful change in their lives. I enjoy teaching coping strategies that empower individuals to handle life’s stressors with greater confidence and resilience. I have practiced across a range of clinical and community settings, serving individuals, children, and families. My professional background includes work as a court-appointed special advocate coordinator and as a foster care social worker, as well as facilitating Parenting Through Change – Reunification (PTC-R) with parents working toward family reunification. I have provided care within a forensic psychiatric hospital, trained in a comprehensive DBT program, and delivered services in substance use intensive outpatient programs, outpatient mental health clinics, and private practice. Throughout these settings, I have supported clients navigating emotional dysregulation, trauma, and relational difficulties. My current practice focuses on adults, with particular attention to emotion regulation and strengthening the capacity to cope with life's challenges.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, and life transitions. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself while also working toward meaningful change. My approach is collaborative and practical. I believe therapy works best when it’s a partnership—I bring clinical insight and tools, and I stay open to your perspective and lived experience. Together, we’ll explore patterns, build coping skills, and find strategies that actually fit your life. I often use cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches to help clients feel less stuck and more in control. Whether you’re overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or ready to make changes, I’ll meet you where you are. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities and strive to create an inclusive space where you feel respected, heard, and supported. Please note, my hours are Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 9AM-3:30PM. I do not have evening or weekend availability at this time.

I am a dedicated and experienced therapist committed to helping individuals create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. I specialize in working with adults who are navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, and relationship challenges. My approach integrates solution‑focused strategies with cognitive‑behavioral therapy (CBT), offering practical tools and supportive guidance. In our sessions, we’ll work together to identify the goals you want to achieve, develop clear strategies for reaching them, and break those strategies into manageable steps that support your long‑term success.
