Top LGBT-friendly therapists and psychiatrists in Baltimore, MD
Baltimore's LGBTQIA+ community deserves mental healthcare from providers who understand and celebrate who you are. Headway offers flexible therapy options with 666 compassionate providers ready to support your mental health journey through talk therapy and medication management services.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.
Are you struggling to adjust to college, starting your career journey, or balancing relationships and self-care? The transition to adulthood has never been harder. I am here to help. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 15 years of experience providing counseling in schools, clinics and university-based settings. I have helped children, teens, and adults with a variety of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, trauma, ADHD and anger.
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.
- My in-person days: Tuesdays, Thursdays.
- My online days: Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, Fridays.
Whether you are struggling with the far-reaching impact of past trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other ongoing health issue or simply wanting to invest in a bit of self-exploration and growth, I am so glad that you have begun your search for the best facilitator in that journey. I believe in meeting people where they are and allowing you to set your own pace for healing. I look forward to assisting on your healing journey in any way that I can.
Life can feel overwhelming — and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, or past trauma can make it hard to see a way forward. I'm here to help you make sense of what you're carrying and find a path toward feeling more like yourself again.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience supporting adults through some of life's most difficult moments. Over the past 3.5 years as an independently licensed therapist, I've had the privilege of walking alongside clients navigating anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma. My approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based practices — evidence-backed tools that I tailor to fit you, not the other way around.
I believe therapy works best when you feel truly seen and safe. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, and I'm committed to creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment.
As a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who has been practicing for over 10 years, I can promise support, empathy, and engagement. Additionally, I have formal training in trauma treatments, TEAM-CBT, RLT couples counseling, and years of experience with several other approaches. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, i am an LGBTQIA+ ally, and i love my job!
As a licensed clinical professional counselor, I strongly believe in prioritizing yourself and mental health. I've been practicing for the past 8 years working with a variety of clients in all different ages and backgrounds, but within most of my years in practice, I focus on adults in their 20s-40s who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family issues, and boundaries.
I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.
I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.
Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.
I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.
My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.
Great to meet you!
As a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe prioritizing mental health is integral to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I’m honored to share that I have been helping people for nearly 25 years... and counting! I look forward to working with you and uncovering the solutions needed to help you live the life you desire and deserve!
If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that feels impossible to move through, or a weight that makes everyday life feel harder than it should, you're in the right place. I work with adults and people across all stages of life who are ready to feel more like themselves again. My approach is grounded in warmth and a deep belief that you are the expert on your own life. There's no judgment here, only a supportive space where you can say what you've been holding back.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Baltimore
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Baltimore starts with identifying care that is explicitly affirming of your identity, relationships, and lived experience. LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy may support concerns related to identity, coming out, gender exploration, relationship stress, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, and trauma. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, LGBTQIA+ populations, or work with queer and trans clients. Finding a therapist who is both clinically trained and affirming can make a meaningful difference in how supported and understood you feel in care.
Baltimore has many mental health care options across neighborhoods like Charles Village, Mount Vernon, Hampden, Federal Hill, and surrounding areas, and a larger market can make it harder to narrow the search. In-person care may work well if you want a local office near home, work, school, or transit. Virtual appointments can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, especially if the right fit is not nearby. Beyond specialty, consider scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s approach, communication style, and experience with LGBTQIA+ care.
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 make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, accept your insurance, and offer clear availability. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, review therapist bios, and schedule directly when you’re ready.
