Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Waldorf, MD

Hi, I’m Chrissy, and I’m a licensed professional counselor. If you’re struggling with OCD or anxiety, you may have spent a lot of time stuck in the “why,” wondering why these thoughts happen or why you feel this way. In our work together, we’ll shift the focus from the why to the how: how you can respond differently, break the cycle, and move forward.

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 am a Maryland Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical, dedicated to supporting individuals through life's challenges with compassion and expertise. As a proud veteran of the Iraq War (2005-2006), I bring a unique understanding and empathy to those who have served, along with a commitment to serving all communities.

I hold a Master of Social Work Degree with a primary concentration in Clinical Practice and a specialization in Health—Child, Adolescent, and Family Health (CAFH)—from the University of Maryland School of Social Work.

My practice welcomes adults from 18 to 65+ years old. I am especially dedicated to serving veterans, service members, LGBTQ+ individuals, new mothers, and older adults. Whether you're navigating mental health concerns, life transitions, or seeking personal growth, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space tailored to your unique needs.

Together, we can work toward resilience, healing, and a more fulfilling life. Reach out today to start your journey to well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I love the outdoors and most anything to do with water (boating, fishing, sailing, etc.). I have 25+ years of experience helping people as a clinical social worker. My practice has been primarily geared toward adults. I have particular expertise in men's issues.

My background as a midwife for 22 years has prepared me to support you in your psychiatric journey. Although I specialize in maternal mental health, I enjoy general psychiatry for all genders age 14 and up. My philosophy is to provide integrative holistic psychiatric care that includes lifestyle changes, nutrition and medication. I attended graduate school at Yale School of Nursing and Frontier Nursing University. I am also certified by Postpartum Support International and am a lactation consultant. I am working towards my integrative psychiatry certification through the Integrative Psychiatry Institute.
