With more than 25 years of clinical counseling experience, I bring a compassionate, empowering approach to therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, wife, mother, grandmother, and Elder in my church, my perspective is shaped by a deep respect for the many seasons and challenges of life. I believe every person has strength, dignity, and the capacity to heal. My guiding phrase, “He Restoreth My Soul,” reflects my belief that healing involves the whole person—mind, will, and emotions—and can help restore identity, purpose, and resilience.
I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, children , and families who face emotional and behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and difficulties related to life transitions, loss, or family changes. My goal is to create a safe, accepting space where people can express themselves freely through words, symbolic play, and creative expression. I help my clients explore their inner world, guiding them toward emotional growth and resilience.
I have extensive experience working within the public mental health system and in educational-therapeutic settings. I have served as a psychotherapist in post-hospitalization residential programs for both adolescents and adults, providing ongoing clinical treatment and support. In addition, I worked at the Adolescent Parent Center, where I provided individual therapy as well as parental guidance.
I have also maintained a private practice, offering psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults, along with parent coaching services.
Formal Education:
B.A. and M.A. in Social Work, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Postgraduate Psychotherapy Program, Bar-Ilan University Advanced Studies in Early Mental States, Tel Aviv University
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.
I am a Christian that helps others connect to their emotional and spiritual selves. My degree from Lancaster Bible College and my years of experience as a Christian counselor will help clients improve their relationship with themselves, others, and God.
With over a decade of nursing experience, LaQuida “Love” Johnson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, combines clinical expertise with a modern, whole-person approach to wellness.
I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what you’re experiencing openly. I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you, not just prescribe medication. I value education and shared decision-making, so you’ll understand your treatment options and have an active voice in your care. Most importantly, I recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and I’ll meet you where you are while supporting you along your journey.
You may look like you're handling everything on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. Maybe you know you're safe, but your body doesn't always feel safe. Or perhaps you keep finding yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why experiences from the past still affect you today.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll work toward understanding what's underneath what you're feeling—not just managing the symptoms—so you can begin to feel safer, more connected, and more like yourself again.
Hi, I’m Kelini, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who believes therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you should have everything figured out.
I earned my Master’s from McDaniel College and have developed my clinical experience working with individuals navigating a wide range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My professional background includes supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and the emotional impact of unhealthy or difficult relationships.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Baltimore
Searching for therapists in Baltimore starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. The city has therapists across neighborhoods like Fells Point, Canton, Harbor East, and nearby areas, with many focused on concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, approach, and training match your needs. Their profiles can help you see whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a large metro area like Baltimore, having many therapy options can make it harder to narrow the list. Start with practical factors that shape whether a therapist fits your life, including appointment availability, location, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office near home, work, or transit. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule changes often or you want more flexibility. Reading therapist bios before booking can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect.
Therapy in Baltimore can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can search for Baltimore therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you find a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and coverage.
