James Finkelstein

James Finkelstein

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 5.7 mi away • Baltimore, MD


I'm a psychologist who doesn't believe in therapy that spins its wheels. I've worked with adults for over two decades — through addiction, grief, anxiety, trauma, and the complicated stuff that doesn't have a clean label. I'm direct, I don't dance around things, and I use humor when it helps move things forward. Most of my clients come in having already tried something else. My job is to figure out why that didn't stick and do something different. I work in Baltimore in person and virtually across Maryland and Psypact-authorized states.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Baltimore, MD

Finding addiction therapists in Baltimore starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, gambling, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. Some therapists may use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Baltimore has many counselors and therapists across neighborhoods, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Consider practical details like office location, commute, appointment times, and whether virtual sessions fit your schedule. If weekend therapists or evening appointments would make care easier to attend, use availability as part of your search. Recovery can be non-linear, so it can help to look for a therapist who describes a non-judgmental approach and experience with addiction care. Reading bios can also show how a therapist talks about their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Baltimore can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find addiction therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, review their profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, format, and approach, then book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
