Hi there! Just FYI, couple & family sessions are out of network & outside of Grow. Please do not schedule a consult on Grow, and instead contact me via the links below. ($200/session). I am originally from Columbus, Ohio, and have moved around a few times to land on the border between DC and MD! I have been practicing since 2016, and have a variety of experience from in-home therapy, private practice, outpatient, and virtual settings. As a therapist on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, I love to celebrate living the best life possible with the deck of cards we have been given. Most of my work has been focused on teens, couples, and womxn aged 25-55. I have additional training in the Gottman model, and I am passionate about working with couples going through big transitions like marriage, bringing home a new baby, parenting, or infidelity.

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.

“I’m just so frustrated and angry! I don’t even know why!” Have you ever felt that? That sense of confusion or desperation to know WHY you feel the way you do or what emotion you are even feeling?? Well, My name is Amanda and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and I hope to help you with that! I have my Masters in Counseling psychology and my overall goal is to allow my clients a safe space to open up and process any thought or feelings that they have. I have almost 5 years experience, with 4 of those being post-grad. I have a good bit of experience working as a crisis counselor, so crisis intervention, management, safety planning, and solution based therapy is an area that I do not shy away from. I also enjoy outpatient therapy, that means you! 😊 I have worked with many clients who have suffered with trauma (childhood, relational, adult, etc), anxiety, depression, ADHD, and much more. I strive to maintain a safe and nonjudgmental environment for my client. In relation to my style, I tend to be personable and warm. I want to listen to your story and what has shaped you into you before jumping head on into the deeper emotions. I plan to put myself into your shoes and into your darkness so we can find the light together!

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Individual Clinical Social Worker in DC (LICSW); and also a Clinical Social Worker in MD (LCSW-C). I received my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 1985 and my Master's degree in Social Work in 1999. I earned my LICSW in DC in 2002. In December 2025, I earned my Clinical license in Maryland (LCSW-C). I like talking with people--but more importantly, listening to people. To me, therapy is a block of time. It is an opportunity for people to talk to someone who is not a parent, brother, sister, spouse or even best friend. My goal is to listen to you and to help you consider options in your life.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Maryland. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD), is filtering therapists in Maryland that work with patients with similar concerns.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
