About Me
I'm not your typical psychotherapist, and everyone I've had the honor to work with on their life's journey can attest to this. Born, raised and forged in the "Steel City" and sharpened in the "City of Brotherly Love", the term "Alchemist" more accurately describes who I am. I specialize in alchemizing pain into purpose and trauma into triumph. If you're ready to transform your life, I'm your guy!
As a therapist and social worker, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value building authentic therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration.
My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including perinatal and postpartum mental health, identity development, and helping professionals manage burnout.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to “have it all together.” Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, relatable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you feel supported while also challenged toward healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.
Clients should know that I value authenticity, connection, and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship. I aim to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. I believe therapy is not about having all the answers, but about working together to better understand challenges, build on strengths, and move toward growth and healing.
Hi there! Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Samantha Scott, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Glad to meet you. I am an eclectic therapist who truly believes that everyone deserves a safe space to be heard. I work with adults of all ages, from 18 all the way up to 98 years young. No matter where you are in your life journey, I am here to meet you exactly as you are today.
I went to school for a long time to make sure I could give you the best support possible!
- Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
- Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice (Human Services focus)
- Associate Degree in Criminal Justice
In our sessions, I blend different tools like Solution-Focused Therapy, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing. This just means we will focus on your goals, look at how your thoughts affect your feelings, and find your inner strength to make a change.
I use a variety of therapy models based on our assessment of your needs along with your goals. I am here to help guide you through your journey and provide tools and education to improve your quality of life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.
With over twenty-seven years of diverse nursing experience, particularly in Emergency Room and Mental Health settings, such as St. Elizabeth Hospital, Providence Hospital, and the Psychiatric Institute of Washington. These positions have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of both clinical excellence and operational efficiency.
You've gotten through things most people never have to face — and somehow that's made it
harder, not easier, to ask for help. Maybe you're carrying anger that flares before you can stop
it. Maybe your closest relationships keep hitting the same walls. Maybe there's grief, or
trauma, or a version of yourself you've been trying to get back to for a long time. Whatever
brought you here, you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning or justify why it
matters. It matters. And you deserve a space where the work is real — and you deserve a life that is not just surviving. You deserve to live a meaningful, authentic life where you are thriving!
I'm Justine Muyu, LCPC — a Maryland-licensed clinical supervisor with 15 years of experience
and advanced training from Johns Hopkins and Salve Regina. I draw from ACT, Gottman
Method, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed practice to work with the whole
person, not just the presenting problem. No templates. No scripts. Just honest, skilled work.
I offer virtual therapy across Maryland and accept Aetna, Cigna, Ascension, and Carelon
Behavioral Health. New client openings are available now. Reach out today — let's find out if
we're a good fit and start building a plan that's actually made for you.
As a therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and
individuals, I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Baltimore
Searching for couples therapists in Baltimore starts with clarifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or intimacy concerns. Not every therapist has specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list couples modalities such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they commonly support.
Baltimore has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Canton, Hampden, Federal Hill, and Mount Vernon, and that range can make it harder to narrow the search. For couples counseling in Baltimore, the right fit needs to work for both partners’ schedules, commute preferences, and appointment format. Some couples prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual sessions to make scheduling easier from separate locations. As you compare therapists, look for appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples specifically.
Couples 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 see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find Baltimore couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling options that match your preferences. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan on Headway before booking. You can review therapist bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
