"Let’s work together to discover the most important person—YOU!" I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, grief, and PTSD. With 29 years of nursing experience, I work with clients ages 12 and up, including extensive experience working with Veterans.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mental Health and Human Services, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, a Master of Science in Nursing Education, and a Post-Master’s Certificate as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

My goal is to create a non judgemental, safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one where you can release past hurts, rediscover your strengths, and embrace the importance of caring for yourself.

My appointments are all virtual and available during non conventional times for the working person with evening and weekend appointments. Trying to offer dates and times that do not interfere with your work time. I have experience with working with those who have served our country- Veterans.

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hi, I’m Taiesha Joseph-Abrams, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who believes therapy should be a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and difficulties with emotional regulation.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and person-centered techniques. Together, we will explore patterns that may be holding you back, build practical coping skills, strengthen your confidence, and work toward meaningful and lasting change.

I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, and you do not have to have everything figured out before you begin. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for something different, I am here to support you as you work toward greater self-awareness, healing, and personal growth.

My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to become the version of yourself you are working toward.
