I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with advanced training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions across diverse care settings. My clinical background includes experience in inpatient, outpatient, and correctional environments, which has helped me develop a well-rounded and thoughtful approach to care.

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and other psychiatric concerns. I value evidence-based treatment, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making, and I aim to provide care that is both clinically sound and responsive to each client’s unique needs.

I'm Tayla — an LCPCS in Maryland, which means I hold both a clinical counseling license and a supervisory designation. I've spent the past 8 years doing this work, and the thing that's never changed is what I care about most: helping people feel genuinely heard, sometimes for the first time. I specialize in couples therapy, women's issues, cultural and identity work, and supporting adults navigating anxiety, panic, anger, and the weight of managing everything on their own. As a Black woman, I bring particular intention to working with clients navigating the intersections of culture, identity, and mental health — clients who want a therapist who doesn't need everything explained from scratch. My style is direct, energetic, and fully invested in where you're actually trying to go.

Therapist

I see therapy as a space for connection, self-discovery, and becoming more grounded in who you are. After 10+ years in this field, I’ve learned that healing isn’t linear and doesn’t have to be complicated or clinical - it can be honest, real, and human.

I’d like to consider myself a down-to-earth therapist who believes we often carry more strength, wisdom, and ability to heal and grow than we realize. I believe in caring for the whole person and exploring the many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, including through movement, time in nature, and simply listening to what our bodies are telling us. My heart has always been in empowering people to navigate the different parts of themselves, understand their experiences, and feel more confident in who they are becoming. I want my clients to feel seen, supported, and free to simply be themselves.

My primary population focus is teenage girls and young women, supporting them through family and women’s issues, stress, anxiety, ADHD, anger management. My approach incorporates CBT, art therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

I bring compassion, honesty, good energy, and a genuine belief that growth doesn’t require you to become someone else. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply, embracing all the different parts of who you are, and discovering the strength and potential that have been there all along. I’ll meet you where you are, walk alongside you through the hard parts, and challenge you when you need a reminder of what you’re capable of ✨

Therapist

Virtual • Greenbelt, MD


I’m Dr. Simone Blanchard, an international psychologist and the creator of the InnerLightT Model.

My work integrates psychology, energy awareness, and reflective practices to support individuals and communities through change, uncertainty, and transition. Over time, I observed that many people struggle not because they lack motivation or discipline, but because they lack clarity about what is happening internally—in their thoughts, emotions, and habitual behaviors.

InnerLightTM was developed to provide that clarity.

Therapist

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.

Humans heal through relationships. Our wounds form in connection, and it's in connection that they're repaired. This is especially true for couples: the patterns that cause pain are often the same patterns that, with the right support, can become a source of deep healing and renewed closeness. Working together means creating a safe space to slow down, understand each other's underlying needs, feeling and sensitivities, and rebuild trust and connection from the ground up.

This process can be challenging and may surprise you, but it often leads to real growth, deeper intimacy, and lasting change that is ultimately liberating.
