Kishma Trotman

Kishma Trotman

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Through Mountain View MD LLC, I've built a practice around one idea: that every person holds more resilience than they realize, and therapy should help them find it — not impose someone else's vision of who they should be.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, bipolar, and the concerns that often go under-addressed for women: maternal mental health, infertility, and the particular emotional weight of navigating life's expectations. As a Black female therapist in the Baltimore area, I bring cultural awareness and genuine care for the full picture of who you are.

I'm an LCSW-C in Maryland, trained at the University of Maryland, and I lead every session with empathy, practical skill-building, and what I call philia love — a deep, genuine care for the wellbeing of the people I serve.

Great to meet you! My name is Stella, and I provide both medication management and individual therapy using CBT to support people navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, PTSD, anger, and stress. I work with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life, and my goal is to help you feel more balanced, in control, and supported.

I’ve spent the last 16 years working in an inpatient psychiatric setting, which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health challenges can impact daily life. I’ve worked with people at all stages of their journey, and I bring that experience into a space that feels warm, open-minded, and solution-oriented.

I know reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to meet you where you are and support you every step of the way.

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.
