Life can be unpredictable, filled with moments of stress, uncertainty, and past hurts that hold us back. Drawing on my background as a retired member of the U.S. Air Force, I bring discipline, commitment, and a compassionate understanding of life's challenges to my practice. As a husband and father of four, I know firsthand the importance of building strong, supportive relationships and nurturing a sense of connection and purpose. My journey in higher education began with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice in 2019, followed by earning a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University in 2022.

Additionally, being EMDR trained and well-versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches allows me to customize treatment plans that address your unique needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, or relationship challenges.

When we're in session, you'll find a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we'll work to dismantle unhelpful patterns and build the skills necessary for a balanced, fulfilling life. Let's embark on this journey to uncover your inner strength and create lasting, positive change.

Dr. Melanie Coates

Dr. Melanie Coates

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Hi, I’m Melanie. I’m a therapist, writer, and educator with a passion for helping Christian women move beyond anxiety, trauma, and overwhelming life experiences so they can live with greater peace and clarity. Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, faith-centered individuals who feel exhausted from trying to hold everything together while quietly carrying stress, worry, or past pain.

I earned a Doctor of Education in Community Care and Counseling with a trauma focus, along with a Master’s degree in Psychology and Counseling. My work is informed by trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practices. For clients who desire it, I also integrate faith and spirituality into the healing process.

My approach is warm, thoughtful, and grounded. I believe therapy should feel like an OASIS — Open And Safe InSide— a place where you can slow down, be honest about what you’re carrying, and begin rebuilding a sense of peace, confidence, and direction.

Outside of therapy, I’m a writer, poet, and speaker who enjoys quiet moments with coffee, popcorn, and the occasional antique shop. Creativity, humor, and reflection are meaningful parts of my life and often influence the way I help clients explore their own stories.

Christopher Carr

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Frederick, MD


I am a therapist based in Maryland, dedicated to helping Maryland individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build meaningful skills for growth. My path to this work began with a belief in the importance of accessible, evidence-based care for anyone seeking support—whether during difficult times or as part of personal development.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Psychology from UMBC in 2015 and a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore in 2016. My professional experience includes supporting individuals with developmental disabilities, working with transitional-age youth, providing outpatient therapy in community mental health, and serving Veterans through the VA. These diverse roles shaped my therapeutic style, which is compassionate, practical, and results-oriented.

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, and sleep difficulties, with advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), and other evidence-based treatments. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients and survivors of trauma.

In therapy, I strive to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel understood and empowered. My approach is evidence-based and goal-directed, while always tailored to each person’s needs. Therapy can be a place not only to work through challenges but also to build skills, strengthen resilience, and foster long-term growth.

Therapist

Virtual • Pikesville, MD


With over seven years of experience as a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, depression, anxiety, and grief while guiding them toward emotional balance, purpose, and healing. My holistic approach integrates the mind, body, and spirit—helping clients strengthen their overall well-being through healthy routines, daily grounding practices, and mindset transformation.

In my work, I help clients build stronger relationships in friendships, family, and marriage through forgiveness-based therapy, improved communication, and self-awareness. I believe that healing within relationships begins with grace—for oneself and others—and that intentional connection is a vital part of personal growth.

Through individual therapy and group therapeutic retreats, I create spaces where people can reflect, release, and rebuild. My goal is to help each client develop coping tools, nurturing habits, and a renewed sense of peace that supports their transformation both personally and relationally.

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
