LGBT therapists in Bel Air, MD

I’m a licensed therapist and founder of Sitting Together Therapy (sitting-together.com), and I help adults build a more compassionate, connected, and honest relationship with themselves. I view difficult patterns as adaptive, not defective. I work with thoughtful people navigating anxiety and depression, relationship challenges, emotionally blocked, avoidance, and life transitions.

Hi, I'm David the founder of Oram Psychiatry, a private practice that serves all of New York, DC and Maryland.

A combination of lived experiences, years of training, and witnessing the lack of comprehensive and inclusive sexual education has centered my clinical priorities on LGBTQ+ clients and clients working through sexual health matters (including sexual exploration, gender and sexuality, non-monogamy, and healing from sexual trauma).
