AREAS OF EXPERIENCE

Therapies & Treatments

Anxiety Disorders

Occasional anxiety is an expected part of life. You might feel anxious when faced with a problem at work, before taking a test, or before making an important decision. But anxiety disorders involve more than temporary worry or fear. We help you manage your anxiety, so you can get back to your daily activities such as job performance, school work, and relationships.

Depression

Depression is a common but serious mood disorder that can affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working. No two people are affected the same way by depression and there is no "one-size-fits-all" for treatment.

Coping Skills

Your Therapist isn't with you 24/7, but the skills you develop during your counseling sessions are. Coping skills help you tolerate, minimize, and deal with stressful situations in life.

Chronic Illness
Codependency
Family Conflict

Grief
Life Transitions

Parenting

HOW DO YOU BENEFIT

Why Therapy?

The Stats

Mental illnesses are common in the United States. Nearly one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness (51.5 million in 2019). Mental illnesses include many different conditions that vary in degree of severity, ranging from mild to moderate to severe. (source: NIMH)

An Outlet

Friends and family can be great sources of support. However, in some cases, they can be quick to give advice and often dive right into “fix-it mode.” Additionally, disclosing vulnerable information can often result in feeling judged by the listening party. Avoid putting yourself in a position where you’re judged for something you’re going through.

Professional Help

Regardless of the problem, stressor, or hardship you may be experiencing, everyone can benefit from seeing a therapist. Therapy can help you overcome current stressors and provide you with the skills to effectively manage in the future.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by calling 410-384-6642 or head over to our Contact Us page to send us a message and we will get back to you within one business day.

Days and times of appointments are subject to availability.

What happens after I make an appointment?

We will send you an information packet via email. You will need to return that to us prior to your first session. We will review the information and verify your insurance benefits, so we can hit the ground running on Day 1.

How long will my treatment go on for?

There’s no way of knowing how long you will need counseling, so we don’t make any promises we can’t keep. Each counseling plan is custom to each individual client. We don’t subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to your mental health.

What insurances do you accept?

We are currently paneled with the following insurance companies:

  • Anthem
  • Blue Cross
  • Blue Shield
  • BlueCross and BlueShield
  • CareFirst
  • Cigna
  • Johns Hopkins Employee Health Plan
  • Medicare
  • Optum
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • US Family Health Plan

Can I pay privately out-of-pocket?

Of course. If you do not want to use your insurance you’re welcome to pay privately. We accept all major credit cards and can even accept FSA cards.
