Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My name is Tarianda Ruston, and I have more than 25 years of experience working in the helping profession.

My passion is helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed for lifelong emotional wellness.
I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My role is not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Through thoughtful questions, compassionate reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will help you gain insight, clarify your values, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Upper Marlboro
Searching for therapists in Upper Marlboro starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and training that match your needs. Some therapists highlight approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care, while others focus their bios on who they work with and what a first session may include.
In a smaller city like Upper Marlboro, nearby in-person options may be more limited, so virtual appointments with Maryland therapists can expand your choices. You may also want to consider therapists in surrounding communities like Largo, Bowie, or Mitchellville if location matters. Beyond specialty, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and approach before you book.
Therapy in Upper Marlboro can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
