James Finkelstein

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • 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.

Jorge Dionisio

Jorge Dionisio

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 19 mi away • Cabin John, MD


I believe that there is a common thread across all therapy approaches, which is why I draw from various methods during our sessions. I was born in Brazil and my education was shaped in the U.S. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland College Park, where I completed about 160 credits, and later graduated with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore. I’m a licensed practitioner, authorized to provide psychotherapy in the state of Maryland. One concept that stayed with me from my studies is Dr. Daniel Siegel’s idea of the mind, body, and brain being interconnected. Over the past 10 years of practice, my approach has evolved, and I now specialize in Internal Family Systems (IFS). This approach teaches that instead of having just one persona, we all have multiple parts of ourselves, none of which are “bad.” When we work together, you’ll quickly learn that every part of you deserves care and understanding.

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 Laurel, MD

Searching for therapists in Laurel starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to address. People often look for therapy in Laurel, MD for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare local counselors, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with concerns like yours. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Laurel is a smaller city, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of Maryland. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and what to expect from therapy.

Therapy in Laurel can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and get a clearer estimate before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can review profiles, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

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