Each person is different and has unique strengths, needs, and desires that contribute to a fulfilling life. These differences are what Louisa likes to celebrate with her clients, making room to enjoy the wins and provide compassionate care for the lows. Louisa takes an environmental approach, acknowledging that sometimes outside challenges affect where we'd like to be in life. Wherever you are on your journey you don't have to figure it out alone. Many people come to therapy for the encouragement and support they need to make the changes necessary for living a balanced and fulfilling life. Whatever those obstacles may be, Louisa knows that the belief each person has in their ability to change can depend on the belief their therapist- has in them to change as well. Louisa provides a warm, safe space for people and is LGBTQIA friendly, BIPOC supportive, and client-focused. Louisa pulls from an array of approaches such as Motivational Intervening, DBT, CBT, Trauma Informed Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Somatics, Mindfulness, and Art Therapy.

Louisa received her Masters in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore in 2018. She has experience with multiple populations from diverse backgrounds, predominantly from school based positions. She has worked most recently with children and their families, but has previously supported adults with a variety of mental health concerns, including LGBTQIA populations and those recently released from incarceration. Louisa uses a combination of CBT, somatics, and self- compassion to guide sessions. She has experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and more. Please contact the office if you would like to schedule an appointment.

Hello! My name is Ethan Cuttler and I am a licensed Psychology Associate based in the Baltimore area. I received my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Loyola University, Maryland, and am continuing to pursue my doctorate degree. I adopt an integrative therapeutic approach that combines elements from many styles and orientations of therapy, including client-centered, object relations, and cognitive-behavioral therapies. This flexible approach enables me to adapt to the specific needs of each client and provide holistic, evidence-based care. I have previously assisted clients with various clinical presentations including anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I enjoy working with clients who desire to be introspective and learn more about who they are.

I believe that therapy can be a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where anyone can feel heard and accepted. I aim to create and maintain this space with my clients as we work to achieve life goals, develop a plan for the future, or simply share how we feel in the moment. My office is open to individuals of any race, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation, etc. I am happy to answer any questions about the therapeutic experience either before or during treatment. I look forward to working with you!

My name is Chris (he/his/him) and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Brigham Young University and my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University Maryland. I have been actively practicing for the past 6 years and I have experience working with both adolescents and adults. I have treated people with a diverse spectrum of mental health presentations as well as substance use concerns. I have worked with individuals from several walks of life and different backgrounds.

I decided to become a therapist because I know how difficult life can be when you feel as though there is no one to listen to you. My hope is that when I meet with someone I can provide a sympathetic ear and give them the space they need to heal and grow. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are transitioning from another provider, I can be there to help you identify your goals for therapy and empower you to achieve those goals.

For some, the term “therapy” can seem intimidating. For others, it might sound hopeful and exciting. Wherever you are, I want to be there to welcome you and provide you support for making a possible life changing first step. My goal as a therapist is to meet you wherever you are with whatever challenges you are facing — be it major challenges or for everyday stressors and support. I work with clients to build on strengths they already possess but might not know they have, and build on positive coping skills and process various stressors related to daily life or mental illness.

I have experience working with a wide range of mental health diagnoses ranging from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and those with dual diagnoses. In addition to working as a clinical social worker, I have 14 years of experience as a first responder, EMT. I enjoy working with first responders and those in helping professions.

Wherever you are in the decision to seek treatment and engage in therapy; I would love to help. It is my ultimate goal to help you find and build upon your inner strength and work with you to process any struggles working toward finding peace and understanding within yourself while feeling supported in a safe and understanding environment.

My name is Elana (pronouns: she/her/hers) I am excited to join you in a collaborative and comfortable environment where individuality and resilience are celebrated. I am offering individual therapy services to those 18 and over looking to focus on concerns with anxiety, trauma, grief, transitional life changes, eating habits, recovery, and self-esteem. I strive to create an authentic, warm, and individual focused environment through the use of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness. People from all races, genders, sexual orientations, ability levels, religions, etc. are welcome into my office to be their most authentic selves.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology  from Towson University and have since completed my Master of Science in Clinical Professional Counseling at Loyola University of Maryland. I have previous experience working with children, teenagers, and adults, with a spectrum of concerns and diagnoses, in forensic, residential and outpatient settings.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you along your path to growth, wholeness, and peace.

Starting therapy can be scary and oftentimes appear overwhelming. We all experience challenges in life, but sometimes emotions can get the best of us. I am committed to helping you in every step of the way regain that confidence in yourself, becoming more resilient as you tackle every obstacle life has thrown at you. As a team, you and I will walk side by side on your journey of self-exploration.

I offer individual and person-centered therapy to a diverse population of clients. My areas of specialty include substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, and various mood disorders. I have experience in working with adolescents, young adults and older populations. I utilize treatment modalities centered around Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused therapy, and Existential therapy.

I am currently a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor in Maryland. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Penn State University and my Master of Science in Applied Clinical Counseling from the University of Baltimore.

Wherever you are in your journey, I would be happy to help in any way that I can.

Warm Regards.

My name is Christine Lynne Martin, Ph.D. I initially received my Master's Degree in School Psychology at the California State University in Northridge (CSUN) and then practiced for seven years as a school psychologist in the public school system. During this period I also continued my education at the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) in Los Angeles, first receiving my second Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology, specializing in individual and family needs, followed by my Doctoral Degree. I am now a Nationally Certified School Psychologist and hold a license to practice Clinical Psychology in both California and Maryland.

During the course of my training I completed three internships in both the public school system where I worked in elementary, middle, and high school settings, in addition to two specialized school settings for children with special mental, emotional, and physical needs. I later completed an APA-Approved Internship at Camarillo State Hospital, CA, followed by a two year APA-Recommended Fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital, MD. There, I spent one year in the Neuropsychology Department at the Kennedy Krieger Institute followed by a year in the Psychiatry Department.

In addition to practicing as a school psychologist, I have also worked as a behavioral specialist in a residential facility for adolescents and young adults with mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges and as a mental health clinician at a high school with at-risk teens, as well as in practicing privately serving children, adolescents, and adults. Since receiving my first advanced degree, I have practiced in the field of psychology for more than 25 years.

During the span of my career, I have had the opportunity to provide mental health services to the school-aged child population up through the senior adult community. At this point, I find that I am especially drawn to the needs of adults, both women and men. I truly enjoy feeling that I am making a positive contribution to the welfare of human-kind through providing therapeutic services to those in need. The fact is that, at least at one point or another, everyone is faced with life challenges that can be better supported and/or resolved through the assistance of professionals who have a genuine desire to serve and assist. I feel very fortunate to be in a position to do so.

Overall, I believe in taking a holistic approach to every client and yet try to tailor my focus on each individual's specific needs. As a result, I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches such as behavioral, interpersonal, humanistic, and spiritual fields of psychology. I have particular interests in the areas of depression, anxiety, loss, personal growth, life transitions, infertility, stress management, and gender-related issues. I feel that many of us have many of the answers and abilities to address and resolve our challenges if provided with the proper support and guidance to address them. Should you feel comfortable with my background, philosophy, and interests, I look forward to meeting you to transition from "here" to a "better there."

- Sayings of the Buddha Welcome! My name is Laura Massaro and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from SUNY Fredonia and my Masters degree in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I joined WLCC in October 2017, working predominately with adolescents and adults providing individual therapy. Prior to joining WLCC, I worked with adults with severe mental illness (SMI) in Buffalo, NY, and with children and families as a School-Based Mental Health Clinician with The Children’s Guild Family Help Center.

I work from a holistic, person-centered approach, looking at the whole person and the many factors that contribute to our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. You know yourself best and I am here as a guide. I believe that life is about balance and this looks different for each person. I have experience treating individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, anger management issues, ADHD symptoms, trauma, and family and relationship stressors. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma focused treatments (Trauma-Focused-CBT, ARC: Attachment, Self-Regulation, and Competency). Mindfulness and relaxation techniques are also used to help with emotional regulation and focus.

In addition to providing therapy, I am the Training & Outreach Director at WLCC. I am a Maryland board-approved social work supervisor, providing supervision to clinicians working toward their clinical licensure. I also work within WLCC to connect our clinicians and psychiatric nurse practitioners with case consultation groups. As the world returns to normal after COVID, I plan to do outreach work within the community.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 2 stepdaughters, and 2 dogs. I love reading, travel, spending time with friends, exercise, yoga, and just relaxing :)

Welcome! My name is Gabby and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. I earned my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Salisbury University, and my Masters degree in Clinical Professional Counseling from Loyola University Maryland. I have experience working in outpatient settings with children, adolescents, and adults with a variety of concerns and diagnoses including but not limited to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and life transitions.

I take a holistic approach, focusing on each person’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Acknowledging that each person is unique, I meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to meet their needs and goals. I utilize techniques from a number of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Client-Centered Therapy. My primary goal as a therapist is to empower you to take control of and restore balance in your life, allowing you to become the best version of yourself by building on the strengths that you already possess.

My name is Shannon Moore and I am a Licensed Certified Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing Social Work since receiving my Master in Social Work in 2004.  I have provided services in almost all areas of the field including CPS, DSS, foster care, juvenile detention, group homes, inpatient psychiatric hospitals as well as private practice.

Finding the right therapist can be difficult but you have already taken the most important step by visiting this website and researching providers that meet your needs.  I bring with me a wealth of knowledge that I would describe as eclectic, in addition to classic Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology and humor as I feel it is a necessary part of the process.

Thank you again for visiting and I am looking forward to seeing you soon.

The stories we tell ourselves matter.

Sometimes the interpretation of events is more important than the events themselves. The way we view the events of our lives shapes how we think and feel, and how we proceed through life.  By examining our internal frameworks, we can forge new ways to see the world, and ourselves, that lead to more satisfying lives.

We live in a society that increasingly encourages us to look outside of ourselves to remedy our inner issues.  I believe that we all contain within ourselves the ability to find strength, resilience, and solutions to our problems.  My goal as your therapist is to be the conduit who helps you achieve the goals that you set.

I received my Master’s Degree from Johns Hopkins University and am currently practicing as a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor.  While at Johns Hopkins, I did advanced courses in Eastern approaches, which, along with extensive world travel in which I often saw mindfulness as a way of life, informs my practice.

I am committed to creating a collaborative, empowering experience in therapy that promotes wellness and helps you reach your highest potential. I draw on a variety of clinical and theoretical approaches, including CBT, Positive Psychology, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness Practices, and Narrative Therapy, coupled with a strengths-based approach and psychoeducation.

Everyone deserves a safe space in which to be heard. I see counseling as a place to explore and examine patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck. Ultimately, I want to help you find and fulfill the dreams that are uniquely your own.

Hello,

I'm Bailey (She/Her/Hers) and I am passionate about helping others to transform their lives through therapy. I guide clients in making useful discoveries about themselves and identifying newly emerged choices using a holistic approach; considering their culture, biology, and life experiences both past and present, to allow them to create the future that they desire for themselves.

The treatment modality I use is dependent upon what the client needs and wants, and I pull from a variety of methods including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), psychodynamic, existential, trauma-informed, solution-formation, and mindfulness. I want to create a comforting, empathic, and healing therapy environment in which you gain insight and tools that help you lead a fulfilling life and reach your goals.

My experience has included working with children, adolescents, and adults with a vast array of different psychological concerns including grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship stressors, work and school stressors, intellectual differing abilities, psychotic disorders, and dual diagnoses. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Towson University and then my Master in Social Work from University of Maryland, Baltimore, specializing in clinical behavioral health and social work in the workplace and employee assistance. I have worked in settings including outpatient crisis, inpatient behavioral health, psychiatric emergency room, long-term case management, forensic social work, and school social work.

I look forward to developing a collaborative relationship with you and guiding you through the meaningful and empowering work that therapy is!

Welcome! My name is Kelley and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. I received my Bachelors degree from University of Baltimore, and my Masters Degree from Loyola University in Clinical Psychology. I am offering individual therapy services to those ages 18 and over. I have worked with a wide range of clinical presentations including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and individuals with dual diagnoses. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Humanistic/Person Centered Therapy.

Seeking therapy can be a challenging and scary decision. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment while meeting you where you are in therapy. I incorporate mindfulness techniques to help create a relaxing environment. While working together, we will create and work towards your goals.

The decision to start therapy is a deeply personal and meaningful decision, and it is important to find a therapist who will be a good fit with your personality and communication style.  I am a Licensed Psychologist (#05874) in Maryland, and graduated with my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology from the University of North Carolina Charlotte in 2014.  I also have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in substance abuse treatment.  The most important thing to know about me and my style of therapy is that it is individualized, holistic, and present-focused.  I tend to work from a mindfulness-based framework, which seeks to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interfering with our ability to live fully present and deeply meaningful lives, and then working towards building values-based actions to reach target goals.  I believe that the client gets to chose where we're going in therapy - my job is just to help you draw the map.  My style is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Psychotherapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.  I am happy to provide more background information about those techniques and how they inform my treatment approach at any time before or during the therapy process.

I enjoy working with many different types of clients, including those who are chronically stressed, coping with a medical diagnosis or physical limitation, struggling with depression or anxiety, reentering the community following incarceration or inpatient treatment, LGBTQ+ individuals, persons in recovery, and folks who just want to learn how to be their best selves.  If I feel as though your situation is something that I do not have the expertise or training to help you with, I am committed to helping you find the right therapist to meet your needs.  However, people of ALL races, genders, sexual orientations, ability levels, religions, etc., are welcome in my office.  If you have any questions or want to speak with me to learn more, please email me at equickel@welllifecc.com.  It is an honor to do this work with you!

Deciding to seek therapy can be a scary decision for some, for others it may be an easy or even an exciting one. No matter what you are feeling about embarking on this journey, my primary goal is to make you feel comfortable and work together in a partnership to determine and meet your own goals. Goals may be specific or general; you may also even be unsure of your goals, and that is perfectly fine.

My name is Jaimie Ryan and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual, couples, and family therapy to adults. I enjoy working with clients on the various issues that come up in life ranging from daily stressors to those needing help coping with symptoms of a mental illness. I obtained my Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice Psychology at Juniata College and began working at a community residential rehabilitation program for adults with mental illness. It is there in which I found working in the mental health field to be my passion and went back to school to earn my Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, School of Social Work. I have also obtained certifications in grief counseling, trauma treatment, and social skills training. I have worked in many different areas within the mental health field; these areas include residential programs, psychiatric day programs, community outpatient clinics, and both inpatient and outpatient programs at the Veterans Administration. In addition, I have experience with case management, care coordination, and group therapy. Throughout my many years of providing therapy, I have worked with a variety of diagnoses such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and those with a dual diagnoses of substance abuse and mental illness. I specialize in working with grief, trauma, and mood disorders. I provide an eclectic approach to therapy drawing from various treatment modalities to find what best suits the individual client. I primarily draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. I focus on providing client-centered and supportive therapy in conjunction with the various treatment modalities to best meet an individual's needs. I am very open and it is important to me while working with clients, to have an ongoing dialogue in which you can feel comfortable telling me what is helpful and what is not in therapy; we can always adjust to what is most beneficial to you. It is important to find a good match for your therapeutic experience, and as you engage in therapy I hope for you to always feel supported and find inner peace.

I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I utilize a blend of therapeutic approaches, including grief and loss processing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and somatic yoga therapy, to help you navigate through challenges and develop healthy coping strategies.

I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sleep problems, substance abuse or eating disorders. I provide unwavering support. Your well-being is my priority.

Furthermore, I lead transformative group sessions that focus on grief and loss, DBT, CBT and somatic yoga therapy. These group sessions provide a supportive community where individuals can share their experiences, learn from one another and develop skills to improve their mental wellness.

Megan Steinbeck, LMSW, is a Licensed Masters Social Worker, registered with the Maryland Board of Social Work, and is currently under the supervision of Laura Massaro, LCSW-C.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor offering individual therapy services to those ages 18 and over as well as couples, marriage, and adult family therapy. My experience includes counseling in the school system at Sheppard Pratt Hospital and Villa Maria, providing community mental health services to clients with dual diagnoses, and offering counseling in private practice settings. My background includes working with children, adoloescents, and adults. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Towson University in 1998 and my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University in Maryland in 2003. I hold the Maryland Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor license and am a member of the American Counseling Association. I have been afforded many opportunities to treat multiple diagnsotic concerns and have enjoyed the varied experiences that have helped shape my work today. I enjoy working with clients on a range of concerns, with particular interests in anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder, anger management, relationship concerns, self-esteem, marriage/couples counseling, and mindfulness practices.

I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral framework, although I mix elements of various theoretical approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Humanistic, Interpersonal, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused therapy models. My goal is to find the blend which best suits each of my clients. Counseling will be provided in a safe and comfortable space for you to share and gain support. I believe in working alongside my clients to offer resources for change and ultimately teach clients how to apply what they have learned during sessions in their lives. In this way therapy can be seen as a stepping stone towards feeling greater balance and control in life. Counseling is not a lifetime commitment, but rather an opportunity to gain assistance at difficult life intervals or transitions. Counseling can also be an avenue for gaining clarity and processing feelings during positive life events. Change, whether positive or negative, can be overwhelming and it is often helpful to have someone outside the circle of friends and family to discuss concerns and address the challenges and opportunities life brings.
