Dr. Simone Blanchard

Dr. Simone Blanchard

Therapist

Virtual • Greenbelt, MD


I’m Dr. Simone Blanchard, an international psychologist and the creator of the InnerLightT Model.

My work integrates psychology, energy awareness, and reflective practices to support individuals and communities through change, uncertainty, and transition. Over time, I observed that many people struggle not because they lack motivation or discipline, but because they lack clarity about what is happening internally—in their thoughts, emotions, and habitual behaviors.

InnerLightTM was developed to provide that clarity.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Baltimore

Finding postpartum therapists in Baltimore starts with looking for someone whose training matches the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also support people during pregnancy, after loss, or through changes in family roles. As you compare options, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, postpartum depression therapy, postpartum depression counseling, or a PMH-C credential in their profile, which can signal specialized training in perinatal care.

Baltimore has a broad mental health care community, and the number of options can make it harder to narrow your search. Location may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near neighborhoods like Federal Hill, Hampden, or Mount Vernon, or close to work, transit, or home. Virtual care can also make therapy more practical for new parents managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, therapy approach, session style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation, so you can choose someone who fits your needs and schedule.

Therapy in Baltimore can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists in Baltimore who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Headway accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, and you can enter your plan details to confirm coverage for your area — making it easier to find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your insurance, and is ready to see new patients.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
