Counseling Resources
Many people are frustrated by how difficult it is to find reliable help for counseling and other mental health needs in St Mary’s County. I have therefore put together my own counseling resources list of recommendations for local specialists. To learn about my own areas of specialization, read about them here.

Nutritionists
Poor nutrition and food sensitivities are an often-overlooked cause of mental health difficulties.
