psychoTherapy in Baltimore
Psychotherapy can be a turning point, the space where your story is seen, your experiences are heard, and your healing begins. At Sacred Crow Counseling & Consulting, I offer psychotherapy in Baltimore for individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, and more.
I specialize in therapy for identity struggles and dysphoria, complex trauma survivors, and those carrying attachment wounds.
My approach is grounded in depth and compassion, drawing from Internal Family Systems Therapy, Existential Therapy, Trauma and Polyvagal Theory-informed practices, Attachment Theory, and Humanistic Therapy.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or seeking deeper self-understanding, we’re here to walk with you through it.
What is psychoTherapy?
Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy or mental health counseling, is a collaborative process between you and a trained clinician. It's more than just talking. It’s about learning how to cope, process, and grow. Whether you're working through trauma, managing anxiety and depression, or exploring your identity, psychotherapy provides a supportive and nonjudgmental space to begin that work.
Benefits of PsychoTherapy
Scientific research and clinical experience consistently show that psychotherapy offers meaningful support for mental, emotional, and relational healing. Some of the most powerful benefits include:
EMOTIONAL REGULATION & RESILIENCE
Helps you better understand and manage overwhelming emotions, so you can respond, not react, to stress.
IMPROVED SELF-AWARENESS
Encourages exploration of your thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs, helping you reconnect with your inner voice and values.
HEALING FROM TRAUMA & PAST EXPERIENCES
Supports the safe processing of unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and childhood experiences that continue to affect you.
ENHANCED RELATIONSHIP SKILLS
Improves communication, sets healthy boundaries, and breaks cycles of conflict or disconnection in relationships.
REDUCTION IN ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Guides you in identifying root causes and patterns behind anxiety or depression, and helps you find tools that work for you.
REINFORCING NEURAL FLEXIBILITY
Over time, psychotherapy can help the brain develop healthier, more adaptive pathways that support long-term emotional well-being.
My Approach TO Psychotherapy AT SACRED CROW cOUNSELING & cONSULTING
I draw from a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed modalities to support your specific needs. Therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all, it’s rooted in your unique story, strengths, and goals. Depending on what best supports your healing, we may integrate approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy techniques, narrative therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, depth-oriented relational work, and polyvagal-informed practices.
My intention is to help you not only understand what you’re feeling, but why, so you can build resilience, strengthen your sense of connection, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I also specialize in psychotherapy for neurodivergent adults, queer and trans folkx, and those exploring spiritual or existential concerns.
Psychotherapy is a powerful and flexible approach for addressing emotional pain, inner conflict, and patterns that keep you feeling stuck. Through conversation, insight, and the therapeutic relationship itself, therapy creates space for meaningful healing and growth.
It helps individuals struggling with anxiety by exploring the deeper roots of overwhelm, such as past experiences, perfectionism, or fear of failure, while offering tools for calming the mind and body. For those navigating depression, psychotherapy gently supports reconnection with emotions, motivation, and a renewed sense of purpose.
When trauma or unresolved grief is present, therapy can be a steady and safe space to process those memories and experiences without shame or urgency. It can also help clarify who you are outside of your roles, expectations, or past stories, supporting deeper self-acceptance and confidence.
In addition to individual concerns, psychotherapy can improve how you relate to others. Whether you're feeling misunderstood in relationships, repeating old patterns, or struggling to set boundaries, therapy helps you gain clarity, repair connection, and build healthier dynamics moving forward.

sacred crow sliding scale offering
I want therapy—trauma-informed care, brainspotting, and psychedelic preparation/integration—to remain accessible while also honoring the energy, depth, and devotion I bring to this work. To support this balance, Sacred Crow uses a self-selected sliding scale based on the Green Bottle model (with gratitude to Worts and Cunning Apothecary for their teachings, available here.)
how to determine your ratE
Pay-it-Forward Tier: $250 – $200
For individuals with substantial financial security (savings, property, or financial stability). Choosing this tier supports community access for others.
Tier 2: $195 – $145
For individuals whose needs are met but who may feel stress around occasional discretionary expenses.
Tier 3: $150 – $125
For individuals with limited financial resources, living paycheck-to-paycheck, or experiencing financial instability.
My Role: I offer sessions on an hourly sliding scale ranging from $250-$125. This allows me to work with clients across varying financial situations while ensuring that the care I provide remains sustainable and accessible.
Your Role: You choose the rate that best reflects your current financial reality. The goal is for you to pay what you can comfortably afford based on your personal and family circumstances.
Our Role: Together, we will revisit our fee agreement periodically to ensure it still fits your situation as our circumstances evolve. Research shows that openly discussing finances and economic realities within therapeutic settings can deepen trust and improve outcomes (Arcuri, 2015; Thompson & Dvorscek, 2013; Field & Hemmings, 2007; Thompson, Cole, et al., 2012; Thompson, Graham, et al., 2017; Trott & Reeves, 2018).
A Note on Community Responsibility
By choosing the highest rate you can reasonably afford, you help nourish the health of this community, ensuring that care remains accessible to those who need lower-cost options. I trust each of you to choose with integrity and care. If you’re unsure what to do, you’re welcome to use the assessment tool linked here.
