Starting a private practice has been my goal since the day I became a psychiatric provider. I offer both medication management and talk therapy, so you can get the full picture of support you need without juggling multiple clinicians. Board-certified and genuinely curious about what makes each person tick, I bring warmth to every session along with a commitment to meeting you exactly where you are. My practice is built to flex around your life and your schedule, because that kind of care is what makes real, lasting progress possible.

Abimelec Torres Serrano

Abimelec Torres Serrano

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I’m a bilingual psychotherapist (English/Español) with extensive experience supporting individuals living with bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Johns Hopkins University and am credentialed as a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in the state of Maryland and in Florida. In addition to my private practice, I work full-time as a Psychiatric Therapist at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where I’ve spent years helping people manage mood disorders and find greater stability.

Living with bipolar disorder can feel like riding an unpredictable roller-coaster. Many of the clients I work with want to better understand their symptoms, spot early warning signs, and create daily routines that steady the mind and body. Others are navigating depression, anxiety, or the toll that mood changes can take on careers, caregiving roles, and relationships. If you’re ready to turn insight into action, sleep better, fuel your body, and nurture healthier connections, I’m here to guide you.

I’m a therapist with more than 10 years experience in the field, in a wide variety of different settings. I prefer to utilize a Person-Centered, Solution-Focused perspective in providing treatment, and I'm highly practiced in a variety of CBT-based techniques. I'm happy to speak at length with patients about childhood traumas, their subconscious needs, and the impact of family upbringing on their adult lives- but that doesn't have to be therapy!

Derrick Gibson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


My name is Derrick C. Gibson — Licensed Professional Counselor, Elder at Brookside Ministry Church of God in Christ International, and someone who has spent his career showing up for people that many systems had already written off. I hold dual Master's degrees in Guidance and Counseling and Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and my work has taken me deep into Kanawha County, West Virginia — into the schools, into the judicial system, and into the lives of families navigating some of the hardest circumstances imaginable. I've worked with domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals managing anger — not from a distance, but up close, with real investment in real outcomes. I also serve as a Christian Counselor, which means faith is not a footnote in my practice — it's woven into the foundation. If you're looking for a counselor who brings both clinical training and a grounded spiritual perspective, you've found one.
