Most men we work with are high-functioning on the outside but running on overload internally. Professionals, business owners, and leaders who have been pushing through stress, anxiety, irritability, or relationship strain for years. What brings them in isn’t curiosity—it’s friction. Work feels heavier, relationships feel more strained, patience is shorter, and the strategies that used to work stop working. They’re not looking to be analyzed—they’re looking to get back in control.
I am a single women with two grown beautiful daughters. I am a cat lady with two adorable cats who greet me at the door and sleep with me at night. I have been a therapist for many years and thoroughly enjoy getting to know people and witness their growth over time.
I am objective as it applies to one’s life.
Further, I am non judgemental. I help one to find their way to healing and wholeness.
Hi there, I’m Elizabeth, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than five years of experience supporting adults 18 and older. I went into psychiatry because I saw how deeply mental health and overall health are connected, and I knew I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater wellness.
Most of us never saw healthy communication growing up—and that makes connection feel harder than it should. As your relationship therapist/coach, I help individuals and couples develop relational competence so you can break old patterns, communicate with clarity, and create more secure and nurturing relationships.

Welcome
Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My name is Tarianda Ruston, and I have more than 25 years of experience working in the helping profession. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a diverse background that has allowed me to support individuals and families through many of life's challenges.
Throughout my career, I have worked in child welfare, foster care and adoption, inpatient mental health, custody cases, special education, and school mental health. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face across different stages of life. My passion is helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed for lifelong emotional wellness.
I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My role is not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Through thoughtful questions, compassionate reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will help you gain insight, clarify your values, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Annapolis
Searching for therapists in Annapolis starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, training, and therapy styles that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Annapolis has a smaller local therapy market than larger Maryland cities, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care tied to your schedule. You may prefer an in-person office near Downtown, West Annapolis, Eastport, or another part of the city, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with the people they support.
Therapy in Annapolis can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Annapolis therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
