I started my career in social work with Meals on Wheels, moved on to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and then to the Department of Social Services. Over the last 2+ decades I’ve worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples (inpatient and outpatient). Most recently, I felt called to do more to help individuals move through adulthood with acceptance and healing. That’s what led me here, fulfilling my lifelong dream to be a therapist, counselor, and life coach.
Hi there! I am a licensed psychologist and completed a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Adelphi University. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy when working with clients. I specialize in the treatment of individuals with OCD, anxiety disorders, and substance use difficulties, as well as families of individuals who struggle in these ways.
I provide a thoughtful, intentional space for clients to explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s story, helping them move toward clarity, emotional balance, and a more aligned way of living.
When was the last time you felt truly heard? Life can feel as though you're stuck in a maze without a map or sense of purpose. You may feel broken, alone, or depressed, but you're not. I've successfully helped clients work through challenges, learn effective coping skills, and view life in a realistic, positive way. I've helped clients with chronic illness maximize their quality of life. We'll set up a plan that meets your current needs, then empower you to reach your goals, together.
Hi! I'm Tammy Christman, LPC and I look forward to meeting with you while supporting your journey toward better mental health and healing.
Hello my name is Tam and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and move toward healing, stability, and personal growth. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, understood, and supported without judgment.
My clinical approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to identify their strengths, explore patterns that may be holding them back, and develop practical tools for coping and change. I strive to create a safe, respectful space where clients feel comfortable being open and authentic.
I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and complex social stressors. My background in social work allows me to view each person holistically, considering emotional, psychological, social, and environmental factors that impact well-being.
Above all, I believe in meeting clients where they are and walking alongside them at their own pace. My goal is to empower clients to build insight, resilience, and confidence as they work toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
I have experience working with adults, adolescents, kids, couples, and families. I graduated with my MSW in 2016 and then lived in El Salvador for 20 months providing individual and group therapy as well as researching interventions with teens. Since returning to the USA, I have worked with teens in shelters, schools, and a PTSD focused clinic while maintaining a private practice working with adults, teens, and couples. Common areas of treatment are depression, anxiety, anger/self-regulation, PTSD, adjustment, relationship struggles, family issues, and many more.

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.
