Hello, My name is Julia Smail and I am the owner of Spill The Tea Counseling. I believe we all have feelings & thoughts that are waiting to be expressed. Do you find it challenging transitioning through different parts of your life & managing emotions along the way? How about being able to express yourself & be validated in a safe & trusting space? The challenge in life is finding who you are as a person & not what others want you to be. Building a trusting relationship with yourself can lead to strengthening your identity & developing a sense of self through awareness & mindfulness. Transitions can be challenging but beautiful

I am a neurodivergent-affirming therapist who was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. I provide a safe space to express thoughts & feelings, as well as establish tools to support you in your growth. With various techniques & tools practiced, you will be able to feel mentally, emotionally, & physically balanced as you navigate through life's transitions.

As an LCSW-C with an MSW from Boston College, I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults across Maryland. My clinical focus includes trauma/C-PTSD, anxiety, perfectionism, and life transitions.

Drawing from lived experience, I offer specialized care for two key groups: military families, navigating deployments and PCS moves, and perinatal/postpartum parents, adjusting to early parenthood, re-parenting work, and building emotional resilience.

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.

Hello, my name is Dr. Star Tangyie-Che Niba, and I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner PMHNP-BC) with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree. For the past three years, I've been dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to individuals and families.

I earned my doctoral degree from the University of South Alabama, where I cultivated a strong foundation in holistic and patient-centered care. My practice focuses on addressing a variety of mental health concerns, including Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Mood disorders, All Bipolar types, Schizophrenia, Schizo-affective disorders, Trauma etc. I also specialize in supporting clients through life transitions and managing stress effectively.

Hi, I’m a therapist with a Master’s in Social Work and a Certified Nature-Informed Practitioner. I support people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and that deep, confusing feeling of “What am I even doing with my life?” My work blends nature-based healing with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but I also hold space for questioning the systems these approaches come from. Western therapy models were created within oppressive frameworks, and I believe in naming that, not ignoring it. In our work together, I’ll offer education and options so you can decide how you want to engage in healing—whether that’s learning to function within societal systems, or stepping outside of them to embrace your authenticity and roots.

I seek to provide a warm, open environment where all parts of you are welcome. I believe your emotional and psychological safety is my top priority. I seek to make your empowerment my focus and often work from a root-causing healing approach and focus on your innate resilience and build practical coping/calm tools on your journey to healing. We will work as a team to define what healing looks like for you. My mind/body connection approach and evidence based approaches provide you tools to use outside of our sessions.
