Hi there, I’m Elizabeth, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than five years of experience supporting adults 18 and older. I went into psychiatry because I saw how deeply mental health and overall health are connected, and I knew I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they move toward healing, growth, and greater wellness.
My name is Sarah Cardenas. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in central Maryland, and the founder of Two Sparrows Counseling of Maryland. I primarily work with children ages 5 and up, moms, and individuals navigating recovery from substance use, gambling, or other addictions.
I also offer Christian counseling for clients who would like to incorporate their faith into our work together.
As a mom myself, I know how important it is for kids to have the support they need to grow - and how easily moms' own needs get pushed to the back burner while they carry so much for everyone else. And having grown up in central Maryland, I've seen firsthand what addiction can do to a community. Helping people fight their way back from it isn't just professional work for me - it's personal calling.
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.
I’m committed to providing a respectful, compassionate, supportive, caring, and evidence-based mental health services in a safe space and supportive environment. I strive to listen without judgement because I understand each client’s unique circumstances, and work collaboratively to maintain and develop individualized treatment plans that promotes recovery, personal growth, and emotional wellbeing.
As an LCSW-C, with 6 years of therapy experience, I am happy to work with clients ages 18-55. I specialize in working with pregnant and postpartum women and those with substance abuse struggles.
I have been a Social Worker for almost 10 years and have had a variety of experiences during that time. Most of my work is with children and families. I graduated with my Masters from West Virginia University and have been a Clinical Social Worker since 2023.
