Hello, and welcome. My name is Darius Brittingham, and I am a mental health and substance abuse therapist with a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building the skills needed to create meaningful and lasting change. My professional background includes working with individuals experiencing mental health concerns, substance use challenges, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and goals.
I am a great listener and all about understanding and fulfilling your goals.
Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, negative thoughts, unhealthy relationships or the inability to say NO! Are you tired of feeling like nothing will change or your stuck in life because you don't know what to do to make it better? I focus on adults using CBT, REBT, Person Centered and Motivational interviewing to assist clients in learning more about themselves and their perspective on life. I have experience working with many different mental health disorders including depression, anxiety, stress, marital/relationship issues and career struggles to name a few.
Hi, I’m Joi Dyson, LCSW-C — a therapist, life coach, and intuitive healer with 20 years of experience helping women break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
I specialize in working with women in their who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected — even when everything looks fine on the outside. Many of my clients are professionals, caregivers, or creatives navigating issues like perfectionism, depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, or chronic relationship struggles. You may have accomplished a lot — yet still carry a quiet, persistent feeling of “not enough.”
I believe that each person is the expert of their own life. At times, however, navigating challenges, life transitions, relationships, or emotional struggles can feel overwhelming, and having a supportive, objective person to talk to can make a meaningful difference.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, I am committed to helping you build insight, resilience, and confidence while working toward your personal goals.
Welcome! I’m Angelique, and it is a privilege to support you in your healing. I believe therapy is about uncovering the true self you were always meant to be. To better serve my clients, I completed a rigorous one-year trauma-focused fellowship with the Veterans Administration, working in an interdisciplinary team for rural and underserved areas. This gave me specialized, hands-on experience in advanced trauma modalities.
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 17 years of experience in the mental health field, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals across a variety of settings. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Clemson University, a Master of Arts in Clinical Counseling and a Master of Arts in Forensic Psychology from Marymount University. My professional experience includes work in educational settings, vocational rehabilitation, corrections, services for homeless military veterans, and adolescent-focused programs. These diverse experiences allow me to meet clients where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals.
My name is Derrick C. Gibson — Licensed Professional Counselor, Elder at Brookside Ministry Church of God in Christ International, and someone who has spent his career showing up for people that many systems had already written off. I hold dual Master's degrees in Guidance and Counseling and Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and my work has taken me deep into Kanawha County, West Virginia — into the schools, into the judicial system, and into the lives of families navigating some of the hardest circumstances imaginable. I've worked with domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals managing anger — not from a distance, but up close, with real investment in real outcomes. I also serve as a Christian Counselor, which means faith is not a footnote in my practice — it's woven into the foundation. If you're looking for a counselor who brings both clinical training and a grounded spiritual perspective, you've found one.
As a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who has been practicing for over 10 years, I can promise support, empathy, and engagement. Additionally, I have formal training in trauma treatments, TEAM-CBT, RLT couples counseling, and years of experience with several other approaches. I enjoy working with individuals and couples, i am an LGBTQIA+ ally, and i love my job!
As an LCSW-C, with 6 years of therapy experience, I am happy to work with clients ages 18-55. I specialize in working with pregnant and postpartum women and those with substance abuse struggles.
I worked in various inpatient mental health facilities, assisted individuals with learning disabilities, helped others with chronic illnesses, taught people ways to manage life traumas, and guided people who suffered with grief.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health 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.
