Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Maryland

Therapy works best when you feel like the person across from you actually gets it — not just the situation, but the weight of it. I specialize in working with adults navigating postpartum depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss, grief, identity shifts, and the kind of slow-burn anxiety that shows up in every corner of your life. I'm a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C) in Maryland, and I offer telehealth sessions statewide. My style is direct but warm — I'll listen carefully, ask the right questions, and help you build tools that actually work outside the therapy room. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Some sessions we'll go deep; others we'll be practical. Always, we'll go at a pace that's right for you.

Hi, congratulations on the first step toward healing and growth. My name is Lynn, I am a LCPC in Maryland with 10 years of experience. I like to work with adults and focus on trauma work, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

Hi there, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with several years of experience supporting individuals through emotional healing, self-discovery, and meaningful life transitions. My background includes working in both clinical and community-based settings, where I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a special education paraprofessional in the Montgomery County Public School system, where I have experience working with elementary- and adolescent-aged students. This role has deepened my understanding of child and adolescent development, learning differences, emotional regulation, and the unique challenges young people and their families often face.

I take a compassionate, relational, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based practices with mindfulness, insight-oriented work, and practical coping tools, always tailoring treatment to each client’s unique history and goals. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and human, not clinical or judgmental.

As a therapist, I value honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. I work best with clients who want to better understand themselves, strengthen boundaries, heal old wounds, and build healthier relationships with others and with themselves. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in your life.

Welcome! You've landed in the right place if you are a woman navigating life's transitions - becoming a mother, stepping into a new career, adjusting to a shifting sense of self, or carrying anxiety or depression that feels too heavy to hold alone. My passion and specialization is in working with women in every season of life, with a particular heart for perinatal depression and anxiety, the emotional weight of new motherhood, and the unique pressures women face as they grow in their careers. Whether your anxiety feels like a quiet hum or an overwhelming roar, you deserve real, compassionate support.

I am Alice (XiaoRan), Zhao, I provide a safe space for you with a dose of honesty and sometimes humor. Being an Asian woman, I provide a different perspective on your counseling journey. I love to begin your self-discovery and healing process.

I’m Dr. Simone Blanchard, an international psychologist and the creator of the InnerLightT Model.

My work integrates psychology, energy awareness, and reflective practices to support individuals and communities through change, uncertainty, and transition. Over time, I observed that many people struggle not because they lack motivation or discipline, but because they lack clarity about what is happening internally—in their thoughts, emotions, and habitual behaviors.

InnerLightTM was developed to provide that clarity.
