Jennifer L. Lechliter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, NCC
Hi, I'm Jenn. From a variety of my own experiences & challenges over the years, I've learned firsthand how stressful & overwhelming life can be - especially during forced or unexpected changes such as moving, starting college, getting a promotion, or facing an unexpected loss of any kind. If you find yourself feeling stuck, burnt-out, frequently questioning yourself with imposter syndrome, & striving for perfection in ways that impact your school/work, relationships, & everyday realities: I want you to know you are capable of finding relief in ways beyond what you might initially believe. My personalized, trauma-informed approaches have supported numerous individuals in leading more fulfilling, balanced lives.
My online practice allows you the convenience of meeting from the comfort of your home when time is short. Please reach out if you need times of the day/week other than what you see as available for us to meet together. For self-pay clients, I partner with Mentaya to assist you in claiming out-of-network benefits as applicable. Reach out with any questions or to have a free consult call together. I look forward to connecting with you!

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. From this understanding and processing of your unique story, you can let go of traumas that control you, anxiety and depression road blocks, bad relationships, and overall the emotional pain that may prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life that gets you excited to wake up to everyday. I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life. You DESERVE this and I'm here to help you on this healing journey you deserve!
So what is it like working with me? Therapy should not be a one-sided conversation and I'm definitely not a smile-and-nod therapist. I want to work collaboratively WITH you and I can promise that I am as real as it gets. You may hear me swear (haha), laugh hard with you, and just be my authentic self. For you to be real with me, I also need to be real too!
I will work hard with you and to HEAR and SEE you starting your journey of healing. I work with most mental health concerns and have specialize in trauma recovery, working with LGBTQ+ individuals, relationship counseling, college mental health, and ADHD and Autism assessment just to name a few. I can usually get you in same week. Check out my website and lets connect!

Karla Lawrence
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, BC-TMH, CPC
Hello, my name is Karla Lawrence, and I run a distance (online) counseling and coaching practice for adult individuals in Maryland. I specialize in self-care, anxiety, depression, codependency, stress and burnout recovery counseling for compassionate women & soulful introverts.
While online (tele-therapy) is not the right choice for everyone, in many cases it can be just as effective as in-person therapy. You can easily schedule an appointment during your work day, at home, or after you've put the kids to bed. You can save money and time while still making your mental/emotional health a priority. If you identify as a people pleaser, “nice” girl/guy/person, introverted, shy, and/or highly sensitive person in Maryland, I would love to help.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I've devoted my career to helping people effectively manage anxiety. Most of the tools you will learn are quick and easy strategies that require very little time out of your busy schedule. You'll learn why your prior methods have failed and what to do differently.
A unique service I provide is allowing you to answer three pages of questions and anything else you want me to know, prior to our first session. I read that, write it on paper, sometimes research (e.g. medications or disease), such that I know you pretty well before we even meet. This gives us a great head start before we meet!
