Why Online Counseling?
Whether you live in bustling communities like Baltimore, Columbia, Frederick, Hagerstown, Annapolis, or Rockville, Maryland, or in Northern Virginia communities such as Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, McLean, Reston, Leesburg, or Virginia Beach, online therapy offers a convenient, flexible, and effective way to prioritize your mental health. Access professional therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home, without the stress of commuting, finding parking, or rearranging your schedule.
Virtual therapy makes it easier to receive consistent support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, trauma, and emotional wellness. Whether you're a busy professional, college student, parent, or simply looking for accessible mental health care, telehealth allows you to connect with a licensed therapist in a safe, confidential environment that fits your lifestyle.
Gateway to Growth Therapy Services LLC provides online individual therapy for adults, adolescents, and children throughout Maryland and Virginia, making high-quality mental health care more accessible wherever you are. Our goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen coping skills, improve relationships, and create meaningful, lasting change—all from a space where you feel most comfortable.
Getting Started
Let’s Connect!
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions, discuss your needs, and see if we’re a good fit. No pressure—just a chance to connect and explore your path to healing. Let’s get started!

I know starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m here to make it easier. In our first 60-minute session, we’ll get to know each other in a supportive space, explore what brought you here, and start shaping a path toward healing. You’re not alone in this journey.

In our follow-up 50-minute session, we’ll dive deeper into developing practical tools for managing stress and rebuilding your connection to yourself and others.

What is a superbill?
Clients who choose private-pay services may request a superbill after each session for potential out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance provider. A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes the information typically required by insurance companies when submitting claims for reimbursement. While reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan, submitting a superbill may allow you to recover a portion of your out-of-pocket therapy costs. We encourage you to contact your insurance provider to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits and reimbursement eligibility.
I am happy to provide clients with a superbill to be submitted to their insurance for out of network reimbursement.
Please contact your insurance provider to learn about what options are available for you. Questions you may want to ask include:
Do I have out of network benefits for behavioral health services?
What is my deductible for out of network behavioral health services?
What is the reimbursement rate after that deductible has been met?
Feel free to contact us for any questions regarding rates, insurance, or the sliding scale options. We are here to support you on your journey!
