Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Frederick, MD covered by Aetna

Hello,

My name is Kirsten T. Jackson and I am the owner of Grace Carries Wellness Collaborative and Consulting. My practice’s identity is centered in the belief that individuals have the power to create the change they want to see in their lives through understanding, grace and self awareness. I believe that when these three self regarding behaviors are consistently practiced individuals can better acknowledge and honor their “core self”.

Hi, I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland. I attended Salisbury University and obtained a masters degree in Social Work. I think it is important for clients to give themselves grace as they navigate life's transitions. I am a believer that life can be hard and it is important to embrace the storm to get to the other side.

Hello, I’m Andrea Arias and I specialize in working with high-functioning adults and professionals navigating life transitions, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma.

I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Maryland and have lived half my life there, the other half in Los Angeles, with my early years in Guatemala. These experiences give me a broad perspective and inform the way I connect with people. Beyond the therapy room, I am also an athlete, and I combine my background in fitness and wellness with my clinical expertise.

Therapy works best when you feel like the person across from you actually gets it — not just the situation, but the weight of it. I specialize in working with adults navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss, grief, identity shifts, and the kind of slow-burn anxiety that shows up in every corner of your life. I'm a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland, and I offer telehealth sessions statewide. My style is direct but warm — I'll listen carefully, ask the right questions, and help you build tools that actually work outside the therapy room. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Some sessions we'll go deep; others we'll be practical. Always, we'll go at a pace that's right for you.

I am a Licensed Holistic Mental Health Therapist with over five years of experience in the helping profession. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My passion is helping people who are at a turning point in their lives and ready to step into a new level of healing, growth, and expansion. Whether you’re a new parent adjusting to motherhood, exploring your identity, healing from heartbreak, or uncovering childhood wounds, I am here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll use holistic, heart-centered approaches to help you reconnect with yourself and create the path that feels most aligned for this season of your life.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and their caregivers who are struggling with emotional regulation, behavior challenges, developmental differences, and social skills, including those with anxiety, ADHD and autism. My goal is to help children and their families feel more connected, supported, and equipped to handle whatever comes their way.

If you've been working, parenting, caring for others, and meeting your responsibilities while quietly feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck, you're not alone.

I'm Dr. Oretha Sogbie-Berko, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with more than 19 years of healthcare experience. I work primarily with adults who appear to be functioning well but no longer feel like themselves. Behind the scenes, they may be managing anxiety, depression, burnout, caregiver stress, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, or a difficult life transition.

I offer both individual therapy and psychiatric medication management. Some clients choose therapy alone, others benefit from medication, and many find that a combination works best. If you'd prefer to start without medication, that's a completely valid place to begin.

I'll offer clinical guidance and honest feedback, but you'll always have a voice in your care. You don't need to know whether you need therapy, medication, or both before reaching out. We can evaluate your concerns, discuss your options, and decide together.

If you're ready to feel more like yourself again, I'm here to help

I started this work because I wanted to build something of my own, a practice where I can really show up for the people I see. I understand what it's like to feel overworked, and I know how much a steady, caring relationship with a provider can change someone's day to day life. I work with people managing anxiety, depression, and the lingering effects of trauma, and I like to create a space where you feel heard from the very first conversation. My goal is simple, to help you feel more like yourself again, one session at a time.

Thanks for being here; I’m really glad you found your way. I specialize in supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, spirituality, coping skills, and women’s issues. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or trying to make sense of a new season of life, you don’t have to do it alone.

I’m committed to helping you build on your existing strengths to live your best possible life. My style is warm, patient, nurturing, and direct when needed, creating a space where you can feel safe being honest about what you’re going through. I know opening up can be hard, and I truly value creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.
