Outpatient Mental Health

Outpatient Therapy in Baltimore

Life doesn’t pause when you’re struggling. You still have to show up for work, for your family, and for everyone who counts on you. Therapy gives you a space where you don’t have to hold it all together, and where you can build the skills to handle what’s in front of you.

At Transitional Care Services, you’ll work with Charmaine Nalty, LCSW-C, a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience. Sessions are practical, goal-focused, and judgment-free.

What We Help With

• Anxiety: constant worry, racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, or feeling on edge.
• Work stress: burnout, difficult managers or coworkers, job changes, and the pressure of leadership.
• Depression: low mood, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from the things that used to matter.
• Relationships: conflict, disconnection, or patterns that keep repeating with partners, family, or friends.
• Communication: speaking up, setting boundaries, and having hard conversations without shutting down or blowing up.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you notice the thoughts and patterns that keep you stuck and replace them with ones that work better. It’s practical and structured, and it’s one of the most researched approaches for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Solution-focused therapy looks forward, not back. We focus on what’s already working in your life, what you want to be different, and the small, concrete steps that will get you there.

Individual and Couples Sessions

We see individuals and couples. Relationship and communication concerns often move faster when both people are in the room, and couples sessions are available, including through EAP. Charmaine is Gottman-trained in couples therapy.

What to Expect

Your first session is an intake. We’ll talk about what brought you in, what you want to change, and what has or hasn’t worked for you before. From there, we’ll set clear goals together. Most clients meet weekly or every other week at first.

In person or telehealth: Sessions are available at our Baltimore office at 1340 Smith Avenue, or by secure telehealth anywhere in Maryland.

Fees: Therapy is $170 per 60-minute session, self-pay. Superbills are available if you’d like to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance. Because therapy is self-pay, nothing is sent to your insurance company unless you ask for a superbill. See fees, payment options, and policies
