Anthem Therapists in Maryland

Greetings: I am Donnell Pinder Jr., a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals through life's challenges and heal from difficult experiences. I am licensed in the state of Maryland and have worked with individuals across the lifespan, with over 12 years of experience in treating anxiety, trauma, and depression from a clinical Christian perspective. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, career challenges, depression, and/or simply feeling stuck. Seeking therapy can be anxiety-provoking I seek to create a safe space to support meaningful and lasting change. Lastly, together we will develop goals, use evidence-based techniques and treatment modalities in an effort to assist in overcoming individualized barriers!

I create spaces where you can be real about what’s hurting and still believe healing is possible. My approach is strength-based, rooted in trust and compassion, and grounded in the belief that resilience already lives in you, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Whether you need to crash out or cry. You’re safe here. All feelings are welcome. Our first session is just us getting to know each other and what brought you here. Don't feel like you have to let it all out in session one. We have time, fam. We’ll move at your pace and build something that actually feels safe and sustainable for you. I’m really looking forward to meeting you. Outside of therapy, I enjoy art, church, content creation, fashion, writing, and spending time with my nieces and nephews.

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. We can all feel depressed or anxious at times, but when we feel that way for a prolonged period, it may be time to consider getting support. 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.

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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor with over 16 years of experience working with adults and adolescents facing various crisis, addiction, and trauma-related issues.

My style is honest, assertive, and solutions-oriented. I am not a passive therapist, and I work best with clients who are motivated to engage fully in the therapeutic process.

My path to counseling grew from my love of music and education, where I discovered her passion for helping others find their voice and confidence. I value the role of spirituality and faith in emotional, mental, and physical healing. Outside of work, I enjoy time with my family and German Shepherd, Rocco, as well as teaching piano, voice, and theatre, traveling, gardening, and cooking.

Are you looking to improve your communication, strengthen your relationships, and manage conflict more effectively? Interpersonal skills are the foundation of healthy and thriving relationships—both personal and professional. If you are recovering from an emotionally abusive or narcissistic relationship and feel disconnected from yourself, therapy can also help you rebuild your identity, strengthen your relationship with yourself, and develop healthier relationship patterns. I am a relationship counselor, currently providing individual and group therapy for adults aged 18 and older. I specialize in helping clients improve their relationship with themselves through personal growth and the development of healthier interpersonal skills, including communication, conflict resolution, anger management, boundary-setting, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills. Many individuals struggling in unhealthy, emotionally abusive, or narcissistic relationship dynamics often lose their sense of self, confidence, voice, and emotional balance within those relationships. A major focus of my work is helping clients reconnect with themselves, rebuild healthier patterns, and strengthen how they show up in relationships with others. How you relate to yourself impacts every relationship in your life. When you learn to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries, manage emotions, and navigate challenges in healthier ways, your relationships often become stronger, more balanced, and more fulfilling. This growth can improve confidence, reduce stress, and support overall emotional wellness. I provide a supportive environment where clients can increase self-awareness, create meaningful change, and develop healthier connections with themselves and others. Schedule an appointment with me to begin your wellness journey.

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.
