Online therapy that fits life in Howard County

Columbia was designed to make daily life a little easier, and therapy should work the same way. Skipping the drive means you can fit a session into a lunch break or after the kids are down, instead of rearranging your whole afternoon. You meet your provider by secure video, from wherever you actually feel comfortable talking.

What our Columbia clinicians help with

Not sure which one fits? That’s normal, and you don’t have to have it figured out before you reach out. We’ll help you sort it on the first call.

Therapy and psychiatry with one team

Some people need talk therapy, some need medication, and plenty need both. Because we offer therapy and psychiatric medication management, you can do both with one team instead of juggling two offices.

Using your insurance

We’re in-network with major Maryland plans, including CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Optum, and Maryland Medicaid. Not sure where your plan lands? We’ll help you check before your first session. Here’s our insurance page.
