CPT Therapists in Maryland

Hello! I’m Nina, a Licensed Clinical Therapist who has been working in trauma intervention for 17+ years. Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a rape crisis counselor, a trauma-healing self-defense instructor, and trauma-informed care consultant for non-profits. I approach therapy using multiple modalities. I believe in the mind-body connection and integrate mindfulness and body-based interventions where needed, including a focus on the physiology of stress and emotions. I use a wholistic approach to therapy, exploring all your identities, ambivalences, and values, and believe that understanding your upbringing and cultures are critical to how you cope and relate to the world and yourself in it.

My name is Genevieve (Gen) Thomas, LCSW-C. Starting therapy can feel difficult, confusing, or even uncomfortable — but it can also be the first step toward greater health, balance, and emotional freedom. Through secure telehealth sessions, you can begin this journey from the comfort and privacy of your own home. For over 21 years, I’ve helped individuals and couples successfully navigate the counseling process by identifying and shifting the unconscious beliefs that can hold us back from emotional well-being and healthy relationships. I believe in treating the whole person — emotionally, physically, and spiritually (if you choose) — and integrate this holistic perspective into our work together. My approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness and relaxation practices, trauma-informed care, and grief therapy strategies. Whether you’re managing anxiety, working through trauma or loss, or seeking deeper connection in your relationships, our work will be guided by your goals and your pace. Therapy is a collaborative process, and you are the expert of your own life. Together, we’ll clarify your vision for healing and growth, and create a clear path toward meaningful change — so you can begin to feel the difference in your day-to-day life. My areas of special interest and certification include trauma-informed therapy, complex grief and bereavement, anxiety disorders, veterans’ mental health, and telehealth services. I am licensed to provide care in Idaho, Maryland, and Virginia. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
