Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Hyattsville, MD

I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a primary care background. I graduated from the University of Maryland School of Nursing. My focus areas are adults and geriatric patients.

I'm a psychologist who doesn't believe in therapy that spins its wheels. I've worked with adults for over two decades — through addiction, grief, anxiety, trauma, and the complicated stuff that doesn't have a clean label. I'm direct, I don't dance around things, and I use humor when it helps move things forward. Most of my clients come in having already tried something else. My job is to figure out why that didn't stick and do something different. I work in Baltimore in person and virtually across Maryland and Psypact-authorized states.

I have been in private practice for over 24 years. I work with my clients to resolve past issues and work towards their present and future goals. I use a variety of skills to provide the best treatment for each client, including cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, hypnosis and strength based. I provide individual, couples and family therapy.

I am a licensed Social Worker with more than 25 years experience working in the field of Mental Health. I have worked with individuals, couples and families with a particular emphasis on crisis intervention and the impact of mental illness on the family system. My experiences have included assisting clients learn to manage mood disorders and anxiety and learn skills related to anger management, healthy relationships, parenting and boundary setting. I have extensive experience assisting individuals within the correctional system with learning skills needed for successful reentry into the community.

My name is Sarah Cardenas. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C) based in central Maryland, and the founder of Two Sparrows Counseling of Maryland. I primarily work with children ages 5 and up, moms, and individuals navigating recovery from substance use, gambling, or other addictions.

I also offer Christian counseling for clients who would like to incorporate their faith into our work together.

As a mom myself, I know how important it is for kids to have the support they need to grow - and how easily moms' own needs get pushed to the back burner while they carry so much for everyone else. And having grown up in central Maryland, I've seen firsthand what addiction can do to a community. Helping people fight their way back from it isn't just professional work for me - it's personal calling.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work degree from Columbia University and All but Dissertation (ABD) status in the Clinical Doctorate of Social Work program at the University of Pennsylvania. With more than 20 years of clinical experience, I bring extensive expertise in the assessment and treatment of individuals experiencing ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, developmental disorders, substance use, and trauma-related concerns. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and hold certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT).

My clinical approach is grounded in evidence-based, individualized interventions, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I am also trained in Social Thinking, Unstuck and On Target, and the PEERS curriculum. My areas of clinical expertise include supporting individuals in developing emotional regulation, cognitive and behavioral flexibility, executive functioning, and social-pragmatic skills. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, judgement free therapy space.
