As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges.
My professional focus encompasses trauma recovery, mood disorders, military and veteran mental health, and life stage transitions including divorce, grief, and end-of-life counseling. As a former firefighter in the Baltimore area, I bring a deep expertise in addressing posttraumatic stress, first responder mental health, and traumatic brain injury. My approach centers on understanding each individual's unique journey, offering compassionate support for those experiencing stress, anxiety, and emotional complexity.
With a commitment to holistic healing, I work closely with clients to develop resilience, process challenging experiences, and rediscover personal strength. Whether supporting veterans, first responders, or individuals facing significant life changes, I provide a supportive, understanding environment where healing and growth can flourish.
My therapeutic practice is grounded in evidence-based approaches that honor each client's individual experience and potential for transformation.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but it does not have to be. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported from the very first session. I am known for being down-to-earth, genuine, and easy to talk to. I have several years of experience providing family therapy and working with individuals facing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and flexible, allowing us to work together to identify goals and develop practical strategies that support meaningful change.
Who you are matters to me — and I mean that in the most specific way. Your story, your nervous system, your family history, your relationship with yourself. Not a diagnosis. Not a checklist. You.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 24 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and the quiet weight of just not feeling like yourself anymore. I offer telehealth therapy across Pennsylvania and Florida, which means you can access support from wherever you are — no commute, no waiting room.
I began working in criminal justice before pursuing social work — and that dual lens gives me a broad way of understanding people and the systems that shape them. I've worked alongside people in crisis, in grief, in deeply stuck places. I know what it looks like when someone is carrying trauma they've never named, and I know how to sit with you in that without flinching. My style is warm, grounded, and genuinely down to earth.
Welcome to therapy! My name is Diomarys Nuñez, I am a bilingual, Dominican licensed professional counselor. I obtained my master's in clinical counseling in 2020. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings, in both rural and urban settings, with individuals from across the lifespan. I specialize in perinatal mental health, women's issues, and anxiety disorders, along with other mental health challenges.
Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and you don't have to do it alone. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, coping with the effects of trauma, navigating grief, struggling in relationships, adjusting to a life transition, or facing parenting challenges, I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. Together, we will explore your experiences, identify your strengths, develop practical tools for managing challenges, and work toward the goals that matter most to you.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or adjusting to a new chapter, I aim to create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
I became a therapist because I find people genuinely fascinating, specifically how we each experience ourselves, life, and reality, and how we approach living – our inner process. That curiosity has driven more than 20 years of clinical & spiritual work with adults navigating trauma, sexuality, spirituality, expanded states of consciousness, depression, anxiety, identity, grief, men's issues, and major life transitions. Currently, I run my private practice while also directing and teaching in a graduate Counseling Psychology program.
Hi there and welcome. My name is Anita and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and currently providing virtual therapy to individuals residing in Pennsylvania and Florida. I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years, and currently specialize in treating adults struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, traumatic life experience, disordered eating and substance use recovery. I also have significant experience working with diverse cultural populations and the LGBTQIA+ community.
I've spent more than two decades helping people find clarity, resilience, and hope. My love for nature and animals reminds me daily of the importance of presence, patience, and kindness, qualities I bring into every session. I strive to create a space where you feel supported, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
