Ashley White

Ashley White

Therapist

Virtual • Pikesville, MD


With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief while guiding them toward emotional balance, purpose, and healing. My holistic approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit—helping clients strengthen their overall well-being through healthy routines, daily grounding practices, and mindset transformation.

In my work, I help clients build stronger relationships in friendships, family, and marriage through forgiveness-based therapy, improved communication, and self-awareness. I believe that healing within relationships begins with grace—for oneself and others—and that intentional connection is a vital part of personal growth.

Through individual therapy and group therapeutic retreats, I create spaces where people can reflect, release, and rebuild. My goal is to help each client develop coping tools, nurturing habits, and a renewed sense of peace that supports their transformation both personally and relationally.

Dr. Kristen Jackson

Psychologist

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.

Bola Badmus

Bola Badmus

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I believe in the power of language, culture, and genuine connection to make therapy work. As an LCSW-C fluent in English and Yoruba, I bring both clinical depth and cultural understanding to my practice — creating space for clients from diverse backgrounds to feel truly seen and heard without having to translate themselves first.

Since 2016, I've worked across community mental health, schools, residential settings, and partial hospitalization programs, supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, OCD, domestic violence, and life transitions. I consider myself an agent of hope — helping clients build resilience, find healing, and rewrite the narratives of their lives one session at a time.

I'm trained at the University of Maryland and take a holistic approach — considering how physical health, relationships, culture, community, and spirituality shape each person's well-being.

Victoria Sterling

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I believe therapy begins with feeling safe enough to be honest and being heard without judgment. I want my clients to know that you don't have to have all the answers before coming to therapy. Sometimes taking the first step is the hardest part.

I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Maryland and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) licensed in Virginia and Maryland. I have worked in behavioral health for many years, with a particular focus on substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and trauma. My experience includes working with adults from diverse backgrounds and supporting individuals through residential, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels of care.

I genuinely enjoy helping people recognize strengths they may have forgotten they have. I believe that your diagnosis, substance use, trauma, or past experiences are only part of your story—they do not define who you are. I will meet you where you are and work with you to identify where you want to go next.

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.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

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.
