Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Trauma can leave deep emotional imprints that shape how we think, feel, and interact with the world. Whether the trauma comes from childhood experiences, relationship wounds, sudden life events, or ongoing stressors, its impact can show up in ways that feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to navigate. Many people find themselves struggling with triggers, emotional sensitivity, or feeling disconnected from their sense of self.
In my practice, I help individuals process and understand the emotional effects of trauma, rebuild a sense of safety, and develop healthier ways to cope. Together, we create a compassionate, grounded space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen your resilience, and begin healing at a pace that feels right for you. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your voice, restoring emotional balance, and moving forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Baltimore residents face significant mental health challenges tied to the city's high rates of violence, poverty, and opioid addiction, driving strong demand for trauma-informed and addiction-focused therapists. The city is home to Johns Hopkins Hospital and the University of Maryland Medical Center, and many residents seek private therapy to complement or navigate care through these large institutions. Therapists in Baltimore frequently work with PTSD, grief, and community-level trauma across the city's diverse and deeply rooted neighborhoods. The proximity to Washington, D.C. also means many therapists serve commuters managing the particular stresses of a political and federal work environment.
