Grief counselors and therapists in Hagerstown, MD

My name is Jen, and I am a LCSW-C with over 25 years of experience as a clinician.

Midlife can bring profound changes to your relationships, identity, body, and emotional well-being. Whether you are a woman navigating divorce, parenting challenges, maybe using alcohol to deal with stress, hormonal changes or simply wondering why you no longer feel like yourself, you deserve a shame-free space where your experiences are understood, and your concerns are taken seriously.

My approach combines decades of lived experience, executive leadership, and private practice, where I developed a deep understanding of evidence-based treatment and the complex and constantly changing relationships between life, physical health and mental health. Today my work focuses on helping women navigate the intersection of emotional health, metabolic psychiatry, hormonal transitions, and life's most challenging turning points.

My clinical experience spans traditional and non-traditional healing practices, spiritual exploration, mind body connections, and holistic total whole person healing. Together, we'll explore not only what you are struggling with, but also the biological, psychological, and relational factors that may be contributing to how you feel.

I believe in the power of language, culture, and genuine connection to make therapy work. As an LCSW-C fluent in English and Yoruba, I bring both clinical depth and cultural understanding to my practice — creating space for clients from diverse backgrounds to feel truly seen and heard without having to translate themselves first.

Since 2016, I've worked across community mental health, schools, residential settings, and partial hospitalization programs, supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, OCD, domestic violence, and life transitions. I consider myself an agent of hope — helping clients build resilience, find healing, and rewrite the narratives of their lives one session at a time.

I'm trained at the University of Maryland and take a holistic approach — considering how physical health, relationships, culture, community, and spirituality shape each person's well-being.

My work centers on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-esteem challenges, and relationship concerns. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach, integrating modalities like CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support meaningful, lasting change. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore all parts of themselves, including identity, relationships, and personal growth. I work best with clients who are open to reflection and committed to doing the work both in and outside of session.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C and LICSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, stress, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief and loss, chronic pain, and life transitions. I understand that emotional well-being can be affected by relationships, physical health, past experiences, and significant changes. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered.

Hi, I’m Marli. I’m a licensed social worker in Maryland, Virginia, and DC, and I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults. I have a special interest in supporting college students and young adults as they navigate the challenges, transitions, and self-discovery that often come with this stage of life. Originally from Maryland, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Maryland and my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. Outside of work, I love spending time with my dog, traveling, getting creative through arts and crafts, and being around family and friends.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 23 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.

Welcome! My name is Katie Halla, and I am a licensed therapist with a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). My passion lies in working with those along their journey to parenthood, from trying to conceive, experiencing pregnancy and/or loss, or coping with postpartum challenges. My training and experience additionally extends to working with those who have struggled with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and/or self-worth, relational difficulties, and life transitions.

I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth, healing, and positive change. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work through life's challenges. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients explore the connections between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while building on the strengths they already possess. For those open to it, I also offer faith-based support, honoring the role that Christian values and spirituality can play in healing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Certified (LCSW-C) with extensive experience working in inpatient, group, individual, and couples therapy settings. My background has given me a deep understanding of how people heal both in crisis and in everyday life. In addition to my clinical training, I’m also a certified yoga instructor, which informs my appreciation for the mind-body connection. As a mother, I bring empathy, real-world perspective, and a grounded approach to the challenges my clients face. Together, these experiences shape the holistic, compassionate, and active way I show up in the therapy room.
