Family therapy and counseling in Easton, MD

Over the last almost-20 years as a licensed social worker, I have had the incredible privilege of working with children in crisis, teen parents, adults with chronic debilitating illness, and older adults. As the landscape of your life changes and challenges you, there are new ideas about mental health that might help you feel more comfortable. Let's explore together.

Hi, I’m Shannah Edmonds, and I’m glad you’re here today. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, with nearly 10 years of experience providing evidence based mental health treatment. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can speak openly without judgment. We’ll work together at your pace to help you reach your goals and feel more supported.

Working in psychiatric environment for 10 plus years

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that feels impossible to move through, or a weight that makes everyday life feel harder than it should, you're in the right place. I work with adults and people across all stages of life who are ready to feel more like themselves again. My approach is grounded in warmth and a deep belief that you are the expert on your own life. There's no judgment here, only a supportive space where you can say what you've been holding back.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions across diverse care settings. My clinical background includes experience in inpatient, outpatient, and correctional environments, which has helped me develop a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to care.

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and other psychiatric concerns. I value evidence-based treatment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making, and I aim to provide care that is both clinically sound and responsive to each client’s unique needs.

I believe there is no one "right" way for therapy and healing, so I offer multiple pathways—talking, movement, art-making, and body-based practices, like EMDR and somatic therapies. Working together we will find what works for you.

I am very empathetic, not judgmental, solution-focused, and patient-centered.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience across multiple levels of psychiatric care, including outpatient clinics, inpatient psychiatric treatment, partial hospitalization programs, and emergency department psychiatric consultations. This diverse background allows me to work effectively with individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, from everyday challenges to more complex psychiatric conditions. I am committed to providing culturally sensitive, patient-centered care and building strong therapeutic relationships based on trust, respect, and open communication.

I am a Board-Certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and psychotherapist with over 13 years of experience in behavioral health. I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential to living a balanced and fulfilling life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, and I strive to provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. Since 2022, I have focused my practice on mental health therapy after years of working in substance use treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and navigate life's challenges. My goal is to help individuals achieve meaningful, lasting growth and emotional well-being.

Hi, I'm Precious! I'm a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and trauma. My goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself while learning practical tools that help you feel better, grow, and move forward.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I received my Masters of Science in Counseling in 2013 from The Johns Hopkins University School of Education. I currently work with children (8+), adolescents and adults at all stages of their lives.

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.

Welcome

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My name is Tarianda Ruston, and I have more than 25 years of experience working in the helping profession. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a diverse background that has allowed me to support individuals and families through many of life's challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked in child welfare, foster care and adoption, inpatient mental health, custody cases, special education, and school mental health. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face across different stages of life. My passion is helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed for lifelong emotional wellness.

I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My role is not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Through thoughtful questions, compassionate reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will help you gain insight, clarify your values, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, honesty, and practical support. I earned my Master of Social Work in Clinical Social Work with a concentration in Children and Families from the University of Maryland and my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Administration of Justice from Howard University.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, grief, stress, and mood-related challenges.
