Cindy Holden

Cindy Holden

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.

Justine Muyu

Justine Muyu

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


You've gotten through things most people never have to face — and somehow that's made it

harder, not easier, to ask for help. Maybe you're carrying anger that flares before you can stop

it. Maybe your closest relationships keep hitting the same walls. Maybe there's grief, or

trauma, or a version of yourself you've been trying to get back to for a long time. Whatever

brought you here, you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning or justify why it

matters. It matters. And you deserve a space where the work is real — and you deserve a life that is not just surviving. You deserve to live a meaningful, authentic life where you are thriving!

I'm Justine Muyu, LCPC — a Maryland-licensed clinical supervisor with 15 years of experience

and advanced training from Johns Hopkins and Salve Regina. I draw from ACT, Gottman

Method, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed practice to work with the whole

person, not just the presenting problem. No templates. No scripts. Just honest, skilled work.

I offer virtual therapy across Maryland and accept Aetna, Cigna, Ascension, and Carelon

Behavioral Health. New client openings are available now. Reach out today — let's find out if

we're a good fit and start building a plan that's actually made for you.
