They say you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your therapist, and I promise I’m a much better listener than your Uncle Chip. I’m Matt, and I’ve spent the last ten years helping people navigate the 'plot twists' of life. With a master's degree from Catholic University and a specialty in anxiety, relationships, and life adjustments, I’ve learned that while I can't wave a magic wand to fix your problems, I’m excellent at helping you find where you dropped yours. Let's get to work... no promises there won't be more metaphors down the road though.

My name is Averry Cox and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a Black and White biracial, neurodivergent AUDHD, bi-sexual, cisgender woman, and I am a single mother. I mention this because with these identities, I experience firsthand the complex messages from society about my worth, value, and place in this world.
As a woman of color and trauma survivor, I understand how limiting and unsafe therapy can feel for those with diverse backgrounds seeking support, honest expression, relatability, and genuine understanding in a non-judgmental environment.
I extend a warm invitation to families, individuals, and couples from all cultures to join me in therapy.
With over a decade of nursing experience, LaQuida “Love” Johnson, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, combines clinical expertise with a modern, whole-person approach to wellness.
I believe mental health care should feel personal, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself and discussing what you’re experiencing openly. I take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and work with you, not just prescribe medication. I value education and shared decision-making, so you’ll understand your treatment options and have an active voice in your care. Most importantly, I recognize that healing looks different for everyone, and I’ll meet you where you are while supporting you along your journey.

I am licensed clinical and forensic social worker with over 6 years of experience providing services to children and families. Highly experienced in trauma informed practice, depression, adjustment in life transitions, grief, parenting, family relationships, and Anxiety.
I am someone who brings light into the lives of others with empathy. As a mental health therapist, my ability to listen deeply and provide support helps so many navigate their challenges.

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
