Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered (USA)

I’m a trans-identified provider who works with all ages. Primarily my work is with transgender folx, but I also see non-monogamous and poly clients of all gender identities and sexual orientations. I’m trained in EMDR for trauma recovery work. I provide video therapy for those outside of the Towson/Baltimore area in the state of MD. I’m out of network with insurance and offer claim forms for reimbursement. I have limited low fee spots for trans folx of color and you can ask if there is an opening for this.

I focus on individual and couples therapy with adult clients. Sessions provide the tools for couples to form a deeper connection, replace unhelpful communication patterns, repair from conflict, and increase intimacy. I am LGTBQ+ affirming, sex positive, and welcoming of all relationship types including consesual non-monogamy and polyamory. I am trained in Gottman Marital Therapy and in PACT concepts and methods.

My intention is to create a powerful therapeutic relationship between myself and my clients. I know that struggling with sexuality issues can often lead to feelings of shame or embarrassment. I see our sexualities as one of the most diverse and unique parts of ourselves. I believe that difference does not equal disorder, and being “normal” is often not the goal.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults and lead groups with a focus around relationship dynamics and family systems. I am also pursuing my certification in sex therapy and sexuality education. I work from a systemic lens meaning I believe that our issues are much bigger than us as individuals, but also as people in relationships with others and the world around us.

I am poly/open and kink knowledgeable and have experience in working with non-traditional relationship dynamics, LGBTQIA2+ issues, individual metal health issues, and couples & families relationship issues. I hope to create a therapeutic space where it is welcomed to step into authenticity without fear of being shamed or judged.

Ted Helm has been practicing psychotherapy since 1999. I work with adult individuals, and have experience in poly, kink, trans*, gamer, and other communities that tend to have poly connections. I graduated from Smith College SSW, training in New Mexico and Boston. After several years working at a small non-profit psychiatric clinic practicing therapy, directing programs, and supervising trainees, I moved to a private practice in 2009. I also volunteer as a psychiatric evaluator for folks seeking asylum into the US. For a bit more about how I work, costs, and insurance info, visit http://www.thelm.net (clients tell me they dig the pizza metaphor). When I am not practicing therapy, I also work as a professional chef.

I am a medical licensed clinical social worker who uses a brain-based approach to looking at how our past has impacted our bodies, our brains, guided our minds and influenced our relationships with ourselves and others. My approach looks at bridging the science of the brain and body with the mental health of the conscious and unconscious mind. My goal is to provide education and present tools and techniques that are used to change or re-train the brain to facilitate and support healing your body, mind and improving your quality of life. We will develop goals that use a variety of strategies specific to your needs and wants. I work with individual clients 18-100+. I am current only accepting private pay. Feel free to visit my website or contact me with any questions.
