Grief Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Hello. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience in the field of mental health. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work with a clinical concentration and mental health specialization. I have worked in a variety of settings including community mental health clinics, HIV care, adult and pediatric hospice, and trauma services. I have experience in dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders and life transitions and have worked with adult men and women in the area of childhood sexual abuse, sexual assault, and intimate partner violence.

I have provided clinical care to clients for over 15 years across a variety of settings, including educational systems, community-based programs, and private practice. Currently, I serve as a Clinical Supervisor for an online behavioral health platform providing services to high-acuity clients through an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). I am passionate about supporting individuals through their healing and personal growth journeys and am committed to providing compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based care. I strive to create a therapeutic environment grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect while maintaining the highest standards of ethical and professional practice. My goal is to empower clients with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to navigate challenges, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change.

I have been a therapist for 14+ years and I love what I do. I truly feel it has been a calling for me to sit with my clients in the dark spaces of life, so they feel less alone and to process the hurts with them. I love watching my clients have incremental improvements and watching them learn to love and trust themselves and to have healthier relationships. I am very open minded and believe you are a whole person and am not embarrassed to talk about any of what you have going on. I am open minded spiritually and am an LGBTQ ally and member. I am not the therapist who is just going to sit and nod at you while you talk, I am engaging and give feedback and consider what my clients are able to hear and the level of changes they are wanting/ willing to make. I myself have been in therapy and work hard to hold my role as therapist in mind as well as my side on the other side of the clinical relationship. I do not view myself as the expert on your life, just a fellow human that has some extra training in this area, as well as good people skills and high intuition that genuinely wants to help and cares once I have heard your story. I am conversational in session and will self disclose if it relates to the conversation. I have a dark sense of humor, suck at math and love animals and I enjoy reading, watching TV and coloring for fun. I have been told by others that I am a great listener, think outside the box and am nonjudgmental and am authentic and genuine. I would love to work with you!

I am an LCSW, licensed in FL, VT, MA, MD and Co, and work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, numerous changes in life, and grief or loss, related to the world around us! Life can be hard sometimes, but we do not have to do it alone. I attended Rivier College for my BA and University of New Hampshire for my MSW.I have worked in multiple settings, including healthcare, hospice , adoption, addiction, and general outpatient mental health and relationships.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, attention challenges, or difficult emotions and behaviors.

I’m David Blitz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 30 years of experience helping children, adolescents, adults, and older adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Much of my career has focused on working with children and teens with complex needs, and I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I also work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, relationship difficulties, and personality related challenges. My approach is practical, collaborative, and centered on meeting you where you are. I believe therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, develop practical tools, and work toward lasting change with a little gentle humor when the moment calls for it.

Hi, I’m Dr. Josh Gonsher, a licensed clinical psychologist with a warm, down-to-earth approach to healing. I specialize in helping people navigate anxiety, worry, and stress—not by fighting their symptoms, but by creating a new internal landscape where those struggles no longer take center stage. My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy. I don’t just help clients “fix” thoughts or behaviors—I work with them to build a more meaningful life, one where old patterns and problems naturally begin to lose their grip. It’s about shifting the frame, not just adjusting the picture. I offer a space that’s collaborative, gently challenging, and deeply respectful of your unique path. You don’t need to “have it all figured out”—just a willingness to begin. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or a general sense of feeling stuck, my goal is to help you move toward a version of life that you choose, one that often feels more grounded, spacious, and aligned with whom you truly are.

My professional experience has allowed me the opportunity to support children, adolescents, and adults in the state of Louisiana for the past 11 years, and more recently the states of Rhode Island and Maryland. I have experience supporting individuals in schools (traditional & alternative), outpatient behavioral health clinics (community & school based), corrections and homelessness.

Let’s work together to create the change you wish to see.

As a therapist I am here to create a safe, brave, and trusting environment that allows clients to unload their thought and emotions while empowering them in a genuine, straightforward and relaxed atmosphere to step into the brave space where they are able to begin identifying the barriers to living the life they want, learn to overcome, and start aligning their lives to their values. My therapeutic approaches is rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy with aspects of internal family system, solution focused, and mindfulness techniques. We all have unique needs and my integrative model of treatment is tailored to best fit each individual client. This therapy starts with the client learning how to accept where they are in this moment while also knowing they need to identify and make changes to get to where they want to be. It is then when the real work begins. The work of freeing themselves from the persistent negative thoughts and constant societal pressures holding them back from living the life they have always wanted. During therapy, you will never have to pick and choose the parts of you to reveal, as you will be accepted just as you are. As a sex positive, gender and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist I enjoy working with individuals and couples facing a multitude of different life challenges. Additionally, I have a clinical interest in supporting those in polyamorous relationships, practicing consensual non-monogamy, kink, and sex work. Taking the leap to reach out for help is a brave first step. Therapy often challenges and pushes us into that uncomfortable space, but my hope is that you will walk away with a feeling of clarity, identity, and belonging.

With all of the challenges that life can throw at us, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or helpless.

To me, therapy rooted in compassion and empathy can be a fantastic tool for navigating these challenges and discovering meaning and self-empowerment.

I specialize in treatment for anxiety, depression, and trauma as well as struggles with substance use and always adapt my therapeutic techniques to the individual needs of my clients.

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.

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.

Welcome! I’m Toni Rivers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Mind Over Chatter LLC. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, better understand their thoughts and emotions, and create meaningful and lasting change. I believe that everyone deserves a safe, supportive space where they can feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. Life can often feel overwhelming, and the thoughts we carry can sometimes make it difficult to find clarity, peace, and confidence. Through therapy, I work alongside my clients to help them explore their experiences, identify patterns that may no longer serve them, and develop practical tools to support their emotional well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized because I understand that there is no one-size-fits-all path to healing.

Sometimes, taking the first step toward support can open the door to meaningful change.

When I was in grad school I was asked this question: why do you want to do therapy? My answer was immediate: "I want to alleviate suffering!" A more experienced clinician shared a perplexing truth with me: sometimes you can't, you can just sit with the person through it. Over the years I have been honored to hold space for my clients to share their stories of courage and pain. I started to see what she meant, and revised my motto: I want to alleviate suffering and when I can’t I want to create a soft place to land. So, "Why therapy?” For all those who have forgotten their strength and just need a soft place to land. Using a blended approach of top therapy models, I partner with Clients to create lasting change and find freedom in ways that feel authentic to each person. Together we will learn new concepts, practice practical skills, and transform self-limiting patterns. Life can be hard. I want to help. Let’s talk!

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.

Depending on where you are in life, that might include changing relationships and family roles, career transitions, caregiving, retirement or choosing to work beyond traditional retirement age, grief and loss, chronic illness or pain, living alone, or questions about identity, purpose, meaning, aging, mortality, and what comes next. I also enjoy working with busy professionals managing demanding careers and frequent work travel, as well as parents trying to support young adult or adult children who are struggling with mental health concerns, ADHD, autism, independence, identity, relationships, or finding their way in adulthood. Many of my clients aren't in crisis—they're simply at an important crossroads. I bring a warm, thoughtful, down-to-earth approach to helping people slow down, sort through what's happening, and decide how they want to move forward. My services are virtual only. Appointments are available Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and evenings.

Hello! My name is Stephanie Thomas. I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Bowie State University and a Master of Social Work from Howard University. I own a small private practice in Prince George's County, Maryland. I look forward to working with you.

Welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 3.5 years of experience providing therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and major life transitions. I have a particular passion for perinatal mental health and especially enjoy supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, birth trauma, pregnancy or infant loss, adoption, and the transition into parenthood. In addition to my private practice work, I provide outpatient mental health therapy at a clinic in Western Maryland, where I support adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I also bring more than 8.5 years of experience working within the foster care and child welfare system, which has given me a strong understanding of the unique stressors, transitions, and challenges that can come with navigating these systems. My style is warm, down-to-earth, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. Therapy with me is a space to process what you’re going through while also identifying patterns, building practical coping skills, exploring new perspectives, and making changes that feel realistic for your life. I’ll support you while also gently challenging you when it may help you grow. I offer telehealth appointments on select weekdays, with flexible scheduling to accommodate my rotating schedule. You can book and reschedule sessions at a pace that feels comfortable and works best for you. As a therapist and a mom, I understand that life can be messy, overwhelming, funny, exhausting, and complicated—all at the same time. You don’t have to have the perfect words or know exactly where to begin. Come as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.
