I have thirteen years of experience as a mental health therapist and seven in private practice. What I love most about my work is the privilege of being invited into someone else’s journey of healing. I know it takes courage to share your experiences with someone you’ve just met, and I don’t take that lightly. My hope is to create a safe space where we can build trust, get to know each other, and find encouragement as you explore your story and consider where change may be needed.

Christopher Carr

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Frederick, MD


I am a therapist based in Maryland, dedicated to helping Maryland individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful skills for growth. My path to this work began with a belief in the importance of accessible, evidence-based care for anyone seeking support—whether during difficult times or as part of personal development.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Psychology from UMBC in 2015 and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2016. My professional experience includes supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, working with transitional-age youth, providing outpatient therapy in community mental health, and serving Veterans through the VA. These diverse roles shaped my therapeutic style, which is compassionate, practical, and results-oriented.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and sleep difficulties, with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and other evidence-based treatments. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and survivors of trauma.

In therapy, I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel understood and empowered. My approach is evidence-based and goal-directed, while always tailored to each person’s needs. Therapy can be a place not only to work through challenges but also to build skills, strengthen resilience, and foster long-term growth.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gaithersburg

Searching for therapists in Gaithersburg starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or other forms of support.

Gaithersburg has local therapy options, but availability can vary across nearby areas like Kentlands, Lakeforest, and other parts of Montgomery County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care connected to a Maryland-licensed therapist. As you narrow your options, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each bio before booking can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, clinical focus, and what a first session may look like.

Therapy in Gaithersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for specific therapists in Gaithersburg and see available virtual or in-person appointments. You can review profiles, enter your insurance details for an upfront cost estimate, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
