Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bel Air, MD

Taking the first step toward better mental health is a sign of strength. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and related conditions. My approach is collaborative, personalized, and focused on helping you feel your best through medication management, supportive therapy, and practical strategies for lasting wellness.

I've spent fifteen years in community mental health, and most of that time has been with people who were told, in one way or another, that they'd have to wait their turn for care. That shaped how I work. You'll find me direct, practical, and firmly in your corner.

I'm Sumr — a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, family, and cultural dynamics. My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, and culturally grounded.

I provide therapy in English and Urdu and work entirely via telehealth with clients throughout Maryland.

Whether you are struggling with the far-reaching impact of past trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other ongoing health issue or simply wanting to invest in a bit of self-exploration and growth, I am so glad that you have begun your search for the best facilitator in that journey. I believe in meeting people where they are and allowing you to set your own pace for healing. I look forward to assisting on your healing journey in any way that I can.

Therapy should feel real, honest, and worth your time. I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, fertility, pregnancy and postpartum struggles, first responder life, and all the messy in-betweens. As a trained EMDR therapist (and a mom of two and a fire wife who knows this world personally), I offer direct but compassionate support. You’ll get practical tools, honest feedback, and space to do the hard work, not just vent and leave. If you're ready to finally break old patterns, I’m here to help you get unstuck.
