James Finkelstein

James Finkelstein

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Baltimore, MD


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.

Sharman Warrick

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Prince Frederick, MD


I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Sheryl Lopin

Sheryl Lopin

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I believe each individual has the potential to work through life's challenges. I view difficulties as opportunities in which our pain often signals something needs our attention so that we can address it, change and grow. I have Master's degree in Social Work from NYU and spent ten years working with adults struggling with substance abuse. I have also worked with adolescents and their families. Currently, I work with adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationships issues such as infidelity and repairing intimacy. Learning to better understand how the subconscious often dictates more of our behaviors than we realize can be very helpful in making better decisions. I believe everyone can learn from their past and better understand their mistakes in order to live more meaningful and productive lives. I also believe that pain and trauma do not have to hold us back and that there is way to find comfort and strength in order to move on.
