My name is Jen, and I am a LCSW-C and Maryland board certified clinical supervisor with over 25 years of experience as a clinician. My clinical experience spans community psychiatric care, inpatient settings, non-traditional healing practices, spiritual exploration, mind body connections, and holistic total whole person healing across all aspects of the human experience. Our work together is to help women recover from mental illness, addiction, and feeling stuck in their lives.
I specialize in a whole-health approach to mental health, drawing on brain energy theory and the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry, recovery, and neuroscience. I work within recovery 12-step frameworks that explore shame and toxic self belief systems. I prefer to work with women who are ready for a real shift in how they think about their health, life, and what it means to be a human living and being. I work with female adults of all backgrounds.
Credentials: LCSW-C, Maryland board certified clinical supervisor.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Frederick
Searching for therapists in Frederick starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want to address. Therapists may support concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy approaches, and populations served in each therapist’s profile. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with adults, teens, or families can help you understand whether a therapist may be a strong fit.
Frederick has local therapy options across downtown, Urbana, Walkersville, and nearby communities, but availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond offices close to home or work while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Maryland. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also help you learn how each therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Frederick can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and view estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
