Hello! My name is Brian. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (DC LICSW, MD LCSW-C) with over nine years of experience supporting individuals in hospitals, outpatient settings, schools, and nonprofit agencies.

My work is focused on helping young adults and older adults deal with mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and stress.
Hello! My name is Alaina Gay (She/Her), and I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker - Clinical in the State of Maryland. I offer individual and couples therapy to youth and adults ages 15 – 65 who are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, family trauma, communication struggles, and other challenges that can make it difficult to navigate daily life. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds including the LGBTQIA community. I care deeply about supporting people to find joy and balance again. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe sharing your struggles and experiences. I use proven, client-centered methods that are shaped to fit your personal needs.
Hi! I'm Cyd. If you’re looking for a therapy session where you can cuss, scream, spit, cry, laugh, then I’m your girl. I aim to create a safe space for the things you’re worried about being misunderstood over, criticized for, exploring complex traumas, as well as uplifting your hopes and dreams.
Hey! I'm Christina, and I'm a licensed clinical social worker with 7 years experience providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy on an outpatient basis. I am thoroughly trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), two off-shoots of CBT that incorporate acceptance and mindfulness. I currently serve as the chapter president for Mid-Atlantic Chapter of The Association for Contextual Behavioral Sciences, and I am a contributing author to an upcoming manual on a developing integrative therapy, Contextually-focused DBT. Basically, I'm a therapy nerd. I love and believe in my practice, and am always on the hunt to learn more and be the best therapist I can be.
