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. I am out of the office every third Monday afternoon, so appointments that fall on those weeks may be rescheduled to another available day or time or skipped that week, depending on availability and your needs. 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.

Hi my name is Claire! I am an LCPC providing telehealth therapy to a wide array of clients. My approach relies on a combination of evidence-based theories and collaborative effort. I believe that each individual requires a unique and personally tailored holistic approach that encompasses both the mind and body. Due to this I lean on a variety of theories including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help customize and shape our sessions. I tend to work with adolescents and adults experiencing ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and OCD.

I’m a licensed professional counselor who works with adults navigating identity, relationships, ambition, and the internal pressure to “have it together.” Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, high-capacity individuals who appear stable and successful on the outside but feel conflicted, stuck, or emotionally isolated underneath. My role is to create a space where complexity is welcomed and nothing has to be simplified to be understood. My background in mental health allows me to approach therapy with both clinical rigor and relational depth. I pay attention to patterns — in attachment, communication, shame, avoidance, over-functioning, and self-criticism — and help you understand how those patterns developed and why they made sense at the time. From there, we work toward updating them so they align with who you are now, not who you had to be in order to survive earlier chapters of your life. I tend to be direct, engaged, and structured. I don’t believe in vague therapy that drifts without direction. At the same time, I don’t rush the process. Insight without application doesn’t create change, and action without understanding doesn’t create stability. We work toward both.

Hi! I am Maria. Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, alone, or that no one can possibly understand what you are going through? Do you struggle with relationships, in particular the consequences of those relationships? Are you feeling stressed by a pregnancy, communicating with your significant other, decisions around birth control and parenting, and all that's in between? I work one-on-one with women to discuss life stressors that are causing stress, anger, increased sadness, and feelings of isolation. Using a holistic and strengths-based approach, we will work together to identify what area is causing you the biggest issues, address your soul & body connection, and take a personalized approach for your healing and well-being. Using strategies from various approaches (mindfulness, positivity, art/journal/creative therapy, talk therapy, and spirituality-based methods, to name a few). I provide a nonjudgmental space for you to get your thoughts out and ease some of the mental/emotional/spiritual burden you may be carrying around. Starting this journey is never easy, but taking that first step will empower you to access the support within your reach, and in this way take action in promoting your happiness and wellbeing. Nothing is too small, nothing is insignificant, do not be afraid. Reach out, I would love to work with you!

I'm Matthew, a therapist who believes you don't have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. I bring warmth, curiosity, humor when appropriate, and a willingness to have the conversations that aren't always easy. My job isn't to tell you who to become. I want to help you understand yourself, work through what's getting in the way, and make changes that actually matter in your life.

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.

My professional experience aligns with empowering clients who experience a sense of loss, anxiety, depression, physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, unexplained fear, and hopelessness. With a deep passion for both my client's progress and my own professional development, I create a collaborative, supportive space where lasting change is possible. I believe our greatest gifts often live at the intersection of growth and giving, and I look forward to walking alongside individuals as they rediscover their strengths, gain clarity, and create meaningful change.

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.

My name is Juanita Fontenot, and I believe in a person-centered approach to everything, as we are humans first. I also think the resiliency of the human spirit is often unnoticed but should be celebrated. We all have value, and once you believe this, the impact is life-changing. I want to work with you! You who have doubted your value because of what others have said, you who want to make a change, but feel stuck because it's just too much, you who are willing to do the work to make the change you wish to see. And you, you who need someone in your corner.

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.
