Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Upper Marlboro, MD

Welcome! I'm Kerriann and I became a therapist because I love helping others to become the best version of themselves possible. My clients choose me because I'm warm, gentle, and help them to live authentic and fulfilling lives. I'm a licensed therapist (LCSW-C), a board-approved supervisor, and received my MSW from the University of Maryland SSW. I have extensive training in my areas of specialty, which are grief and loss, parenting, and anxiety.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as yourself without fear of judgment. My style is warm, authentic, and down-to-earth, and I value building genuine connections with the people I work with. I enjoy getting to know my clients as individuals, including their interests, experiences, and what makes them who they are. Whether we're discussing anxiety, depression, relationships, self-esteem, or life transitions, I want you to feel understood as a whole person rather than defined by your struggles. I also believe humor and everyday interests can be meaningful ways to build connection and make therapy feel more comfortable.

Hello,

My name is Kirsten T. Jackson and I am the owner of Grace Carries Wellness Collaborative and Consulting. My practice’s identity is centered in the belief that individuals have the power to create the change they want to see in their lives through understanding, grace and self awareness. I believe that when these three self regarding behaviors are consistently practiced individuals can better acknowledge and honor their “core self”.

I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in working with individual adults. I support clients navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationship patterns, identity, and life transitions. My work is trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, and grounded in the belief that therapy can help you better understand yourself, strengthen self-trust, and the clinical belief that any person can change course in life at any time.

I draw from approaches such as EFT, IFS, ACT, and integrative experiential techniques, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore emotions, patterns, and strategies that help you feel more grounded, resilient, and connected to yourself and the relationships that matter most.

Hi! As a licensed psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I'm incredibly proud to say that I've worked in multiple settings with people from diverse backgrounds. I've most often worked with African-American men and women, Veterans, individuals suffering from depression, trauma, stress, relationship dysfunction, and substance abuse. Regardless of the issue, the initial question has always been the same: "How can I help this person navigate their world, and become the best version of themselves in the process?"

I believe that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can explore life’s challenges, develop practical coping skills, and create lasting change. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology and use an integrative approach that combines evidence-based therapies with holistic techniques tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Building my own practice has been about creating a space where every client feels genuinely welcomed. With clinical experience across settings that have served people from all walks of life, I bring real warmth and dedication to each session. I see myself as a partner in your care, not just a provider. My goal is a practice where diverse clients feel seen and supported, where your autonomy matters as much to me as it does to you.
