I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a strong background in trauma-informed care, anxiety treatment, and grief work. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and respectful of your lived experience. I understand how past trauma, chronic stress, and life transitions can shape the nervous system and impact daily functioning, even when life looks “okay” on the outside. My role is to meet you where you are, without judgment, and help you make sense of your experiences while building practical tools for healing. I value authenticity, emotional safety, and meaningful connection in the therapeutic relationship.

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.
