Therapist

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.

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 Kensington

Searching for therapists in Kensington starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. People often look for care for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Kensington is a smaller market, so nearby in-person options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual appointments can expand your choices across Maryland while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and how their bio describes session style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what to expect and choose someone whose approach fits your preferences.

Therapy in Kensington can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated costs before booking, and choose from therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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