Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 10 mi away • Baltimore, MD


I'm a psychologist who doesn't believe in therapy that spins its wheels. I've worked with adults for over two decades — through addiction, grief, anxiety, trauma, and the complicated stuff that doesn't have a clean label. I'm direct, I don't dance around things, and I use humor when it helps move things forward. Most of my clients come in having already tried something else. My job is to figure out why that didn't stick and do something different. I work in Baltimore in person and virtually across Maryland and Psypact-authorized states.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Ellicott City, MD

Searching for therapists in Ellicott City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. Some therapists may mention cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods in their bios, which can help you understand how they work.

Ellicott City has local counseling options, but availability can vary across Howard County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Maryland. When narrowing your options, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles before booking can also help you learn how each therapist describes their style, communication approach, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Ellicott City can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find Maryland therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
