I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with training in both primary care and psychiatric mental health.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected.

My goal is to partner with each client to develop a personalized care plan that supports both mental and overall well-being.

Kishma Trotman

Kishma Trotman

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Through Mountain View MD LLC, I've built a practice around one idea: that every person holds more resilience than they realize, and therapy should help them find it — not impose someone else's vision of who they should be.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, OCD, bipolar, and the concerns that often go under-addressed for women: maternal mental health, infertility, and the particular emotional weight of navigating life's expectations. As a Black female therapist in the Baltimore area, I bring cultural awareness and genuine care for the full picture of who you are.

I'm an LCSW-C in Maryland, trained at the University of Maryland, and I lead every session with empathy, practical skill-building, and what I call philia love — a deep, genuine care for the wellbeing of the people I serve.

Therapist

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor who believes that great mental health is key to unlocking the future that you desire. I love working with with young adults (18-40) who are working to build their lives and find confidence in their voice but are challenged with anxiety, depression, or unresolved hurts from the past or present. I especially enjoy helping men navigate the pressures and challenges of manhood and providing space for those seeking a Christian therapist.
