You may know something needs to change, but not quite know how to get there. Maybe anxiety and overthinking are taking up too much space, past experiences continue to affect you, or your child or teen is struggling with big emotions, ADHD, rejection sensitivity, or feeling overwhelmed by school, relationships, or everyday life.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. My background as a teacher, school counselor, and therapist gives me a unique understanding of how emotional health, relationships, family dynamics, and school experiences can intersect.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in comprehensive, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. With years of healthcare experience and a compassionate, patient-centered approach, I provide personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique goals and needs.

Whether you're seeking medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, I work collaboratively with you to develop an individualized plan that promotes lasting wellness and improved quality of life.

I also offer Spravato® (esketamine) treatment for eligible adults with treatment-resistant depression and depressive symptoms associated with major depressive disorder. To better meet the needs of busy professionals, students, and families, evening and weekend Spravato appointments are available in a comfortable, supportive clinical setting.

My goal is to provide accessible, high-quality mental health care that empowers you to achieve emotional wellness and long-term recovery.

As a licensed clinical professional counselor, I strongly believe in prioritizing yourself and mental health. I've been practicing for the past 8 years working with a variety of clients in all different ages and backgrounds, but within most of my years in practice, I focus on adults in their 20s-40s who may be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, family issues, and boundaries.

Clients often tell me they feel both deeply understood and gently challenged in our work. You won’t be met with quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, I offer a grounded, relational space where we can slow down, get curious, and make sense of the patterns—emotional, relational, historical—that are shaping your current struggles. I’m especially attuned to the inner lives of high-achieving adults: those who appear competent on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen underneath.

I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and EMDR, and I approach each client with a blend of clinical precision and emotional presence. You can expect warmth, honesty, and an active collaboration toward lasting emotional change.

Hi! I'm Ashley Corbett, an energetic, high-vibrational, Therapist who will support you, challenge you, and help you find true healing. I will walk with you as you experience every emotion that will help you grow to become stronger as a person. I enjoy working with teens ages 16+ and have spent over 17 years improving the mental health of mothers. I look forward to helping you conquer your mental health as you become the hero in your life!

With over a decade of nursing experience, LaQuida “Love” Johnson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, combines clinical expertise with a modern, whole-person approach to wellness.

I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what you’re experiencing openly. I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you, not just prescribe medication. I value education and shared decision-making, so you’ll understand your treatment options and have an active voice in your care. Most importantly, I recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and I’ll meet you where you are while supporting you along your journey.

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.
