LGBT therapists in Frederick, MD

When was the last time you felt truly heard? Life can feel as though you're stuck in a maze without a map or sense of purpose. You may feel broken, alone, or depressed, but you're not. I've successfully helped clients work through challenges, learn effective coping skills, and view life in a realistic, positive way. I've helped clients with chronic illness maximize their quality of life. We'll set up a plan that meets your current needs, then empower you to reach your goals, together.

Hi there! I am a licensed psychologist and completed a doctorate degree in clinical psychology from Adelphi University. I use evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy when working with clients. I specialize in the treatment of individuals with OCD, anxiety disorders, and substance use difficulties, as well as families of individuals who struggle in these ways.

I provide a thoughtful, intentional space for clients to explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s story, helping them move toward clarity, emotional balance, and a more aligned way of living.

As a licensed clinical social worker who is certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I am particularly passionate about helping young people and veterans navigate their experiences and traumas. I provide a safe space for you to address both past and present issues, including trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress. I am committed to making people feel safe and heard. I firmly believe in the power of positive affirmation and the importance of self-care.

I really believe people grow best when we build a real, collaborative relationship together. As a queer and neurodivergent therapist, I value authenticity, inclusivity, and creating a space where people from diverse backgrounds feel understood and supported. If you’re dealing with depression, anxiety, or going through a tough life transition, you don’t have to handle it alone. I’m here to support you. We’ll work through it together, focus on what matters most to you, and build a path forward that helps you feel more steady and in control.

Hi, I'm Brigetta, a Licensed Marriage, Couples, and Family Therapist. I am here to walk on this journey with you. I encourage a gentle approach to life where peace is the priority. I am here to support you through life transitions, communication and conflict concerns, intra- and interpersonal challenges, relational preparation and conflict management, and workplace stressors.

I am excited to provide compassionate & competent care for transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive adults, and other LGBTQIA+ identities. In addition, I enthusiastically affirm asexuality and aromaticism, intersex folks, and all who experience marginalization, erasure, and/or invisibility within the broader LGBTQIA+ community. Anyone “questioning” is welcome!

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to make that first step feel a little easier. I approach my work with warmth, compassion, and genuine curiosity about each person’s story. I support clients in gently unpacking the thoughts and experiences that may be contributing to anxiety and depression, while offering empathy and practical tools along the way. You don’t have to navigate this alone—we’ll work through it together.
