Therapist

Welcome! I’m Angelique, and it is a privilege to support you in your healing. I believe therapy is about uncovering the true self you were always meant to be. To better serve my clients, I completed a rigorous one-year trauma-focused fellowship with the Veterans Administration, working in an interdisciplinary team for rural and underserved areas. This gave me specialized, hands-on experience in advanced trauma modalities.

You’re juggling a lot—and it’s okay if your brain isn’t cooperating. Between high-stakes exams, lab reports, job applications, and the pressure to maintain a social life, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly underwater. When procrastination kicks in, your mind races at 2:00 AM, and campus services have a month-long waitlist, the stress can feel insurmountable.

I provide specialized online psychiatric care specifically for college and graduate students navigating ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I understand the unique rhythm of academic life. My practice is designed to fit into your schedule, offering secure video visits you can join from your dorm, your apartment, or even your car between classes.

I am licensed to serve clients across Maryland. To make your life easier, I offer simple online scheduling, streamlined prescription refills, and consistent follow-up care.

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.

Jennifer Friedman

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


You may look like you're handling everything on the outside while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside. Maybe you know you're safe, but your body doesn't always feel safe. Or perhaps you keep finding yourself caught in the same relationship patterns, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why experiences from the past still affect you today.

Hi, I'm Jennifer Friedman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) in Maryland. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, major life transitions, and those times when you simply don't feel like yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Together, we'll work toward understanding what's underneath what you're feeling—not just managing the symptoms—so you can begin to feel safer, more connected, and more like yourself again.
