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.
My name is Jesse Okonigbo, I have been in the medical and nursing profession for 15 years. My background in nursing has made me dependable when called upon.
I am qualifiеd to assеss, diagnosе, and treat mеntal health conditions in patients across thе lifеspan. With my еxpеriеncе in psychiatric nursing, I have developed еxpеrtisе in managing mеdications and providing thеrapy for conditions including depression, anxiеty, bipolar disordеr, schizophrеnia, ADHD, insomnia, and a lot more. I havе worked with divеrsе populations, including adolеscеnts, adults, gеriatric patiеnts, thosе with substancе abusе issuеs, and thе chronically mеntally ill.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals, couples, and families. I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, stress-related challenges, trauma, substance use concerns, medical issues, and major life transitions. My background includes conducting comprehensive intake assessments, psychosocial evaluations, treatment planning, and case management services to help clients receive well-rounded support tailored to their needs.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Howard University School of Social Work, and I am deeply passionate about helping people feel more balanced, understood, and empowered in their daily lives. I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and judgment-free. My goal is to create a safe space where you can openly explore your experiences, strengthen resilience, and work toward meaningful personal growth at your own pace.
As a therapist and social worker, I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, and I value building authentic therapeutic relationships grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration.
My approach is holistic, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, self-esteem concerns, and emotional overwhelm. I also have a special interest in women’s mental health, including perinatal and postpartum mental health, identity development, and helping professionals manage burnout.
I believe therapy should feel like a space where you do not have to “have it all together.” Together, we will explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and work toward meaningful, sustainable growth at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, relatable, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you feel supported while also challenged toward healing, self-awareness, and lasting change.
Hello, I am James. Thank you for looking at my profile. I am a Social Worker who has worked in several settings during my twenty-year journey in the mental health field. I work with adult clients of various backgrounds. A lesson I learned long ago guides all my work: “Meet the client where they are.”
As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is essential for achieving happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can often be challenging, so I want to compliment you for taking it! I have been practicing for over five years and have a proven track record of treating complex and severe mental disorders over the last decade. My experience includes working with patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder (MDD), anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and addiction.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Maryland
Searching for therapists in Maryland starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Maryland has a wide range of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available specialties can vary by location. You might look for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Maryland therapists, review their listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience with the concerns you want to address.
Practical fit matters too. If you live near Baltimore, Annapolis, Silver Spring, or another part of Maryland, consider whether in-person sessions are easy to reach or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and what to expect in a first session.
The cost of therapy in Maryland can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Maryland therapists who accept insurance, verify your benefits, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your plan and location as you search. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
