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”.

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.

Therapist

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.

Dr. Oretha Sogbie

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Bel Air, MD


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.
