Christy Stinton

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I'm a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience working with adults navigating some of life's hardest seasons — infertility, adoption, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the kind of grief that doesn't have a clear name yet. I'm faith-integrated in my approach, which means I honor the role spirituality plays in your life without ever making it a requirement. My clients describe me as warm, easy to talk to, and refreshingly direct. I don't do one-size-fits-all therapy — every treatment plan starts with your story.

Yolonda Edgerton

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I've spent fifteen years in community mental health, and most of that time has been with people who were told, in one way or another, that they'd have to wait their turn for care. That shaped how I work. You'll find me direct, practical, and firmly in your corner.

Diana Cron

Diana Cron

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I approach therapy as a collaborative and nonjudgmental space where your story matters. I aim to be curious with you—exploring patterns, beliefs, and behaviors with care rather than criticism. While I draw on structured techniques from CBT, trauma-informed care, and narrative therapy, our work will always be shaped by your goals and needs. I believe that people thrive when they feel understood, and that therapy can be a place to reconnect with your inner strengths and values. Whether you're seeking tools for coping or space to process deeper emotional pain, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you. My hope is that you walk away with both insight and practical support—whether that’s a new perspective, a shift in self-compassion, or a concrete strategy to try between sessions. I work to ensure that therapy isn’t just a place to vent, but a space where meaningful change can take root.
