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.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

You may look like you're handling everything on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. Maybe you know you're safe, but your body doesn't always feel safe. Or perhaps you keep finding yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why experiences from the past still affect you today.
Hi, I'm Jennifer Friedman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland.

Together, we'll work toward understanding what's underneath what you're feeling—not just managing the symptoms—so you can begin to feel safer, more connected, and more like yourself again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Germantown
Searching for therapists in Germantown starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or family therapy. Provider bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may include, and who they commonly work with.
Germantown is a smaller market within Montgomery County, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Maryland-licensed therapist. Some people prefer an office setting near Germantown, Middlebrook, Walnut Hill, or other nearby areas, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free consultation options, and the details in each profile that speak to communication style and fit.
Therapy in Germantown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear availability. You can browse profiles, review specialties, 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.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
