At Joining with Empathy, we believe that therapy begins with one powerful principle: empathy. More than just a word, empathy is the heart of our practice—the bridge that connects people in their most vulnerable moments to the possibility of healing. Whether you are navigating anxiety, exploring your identity, rebuilding relationships, or simply seeking a space where you feel seen, we are here to walk alongside you with warmth, authenticity, and respect.
Therapy does not have to feel intimidating or clinical. Our goal is to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to “have it all figured out.” Healing is rarely linear, and at Joining with Empathy, we honor both the highs and the lows of your journey.
Who We Support
We work with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating a wide range of life experiences, including:
Anxiety and depression
Life transitions
Relationship or family stress
Trauma recovery
Burnout and work-related challenges
LGBTQIA+ identity and exploration
No matter what you are facing, our therapists meet you with empathy and understanding, creating a safe space to process challenges and move toward healing.
What We Offer
Our Baltimore, Maryland–based group practice provides inclusive and comprehensive mental health services designed to meet you where you are. We understand that each person’s story is unique, which is why we offer a variety of therapeutic options:
Individual Therapy
A space to work through anxiety, depression, stress, identity exploration, and personal growth. We help you untangle the thoughts and emotions that weigh you down so you can move toward clarity and confidence.
Couples & Relationship Counseling
Relationships can be challenging, even in the best of times. Our therapists provide guidance in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and deepening intimacy. Whether you’re repairing after conflict or strengthening an already solid foundation, therapy can help you reconnect.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to be fully themselves. Our therapists are committed to providing care that affirms and celebrates diverse identities and experiences, ensuring that you feel respected, validated, and understood.
Group Therapy (Coming Soon!)
Connection with others can be a powerful source of healing. We’re building group offerings centered on Health at Every Size® (HAES), body neutrality, and intuitive eating. These groups will provide community and support for those navigating body image and self-acceptance.
Holistic Psychiatry (Coming Soon!)
Mental health is not one-size-fits-all. Our future psychiatry services will integrate medication management with a whole-person approach, combining evidence-based care with an understanding of how lifestyle, environment, and emotional well-being intersect.
Why Empathy Matters
Empathy is more than listening—it is the act of fully seeing and hearing another person. In therapy, empathy creates the foundation of trust that allows you to share openly without fear of judgment. It allows us to hold space not only for your pain, but also for your joy, your hopes, and your uncertainty.
Many people hesitate to begin therapy because they believe they must first have clear answers or specific goals. At Joining with Empathy, we encourage you to come as you are. Whether you are beginning your mental health journey for the first time or returning after a break, we meet you with patience, compassion, and the belief that healing is always possible.
We believe healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in connection. As we often say:
“Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when we feel seen, heard, and believed.”
