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.

Other Counseling Resources

Sabrina Sepulveda –  (She takes the time to get to know her clients. I would recommend her first if you can get in with her.)

Nutritionists

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