I’m a licensed clinical social worker with a background in supporting people through life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and identity exploration. My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, but guided by a deep respect for each person's unique experience. I specialize in helping people navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, and attention challenges, and I work with clients facing grief, relationship dynamics, family stress, and questions of identity and purpose. My training includes a strong foundation in trauma-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapies, but I also bring warmth, curiosity, and a belief in the healing power of story, connection, and humor to each session.

Hi, congratulations on the first step toward healing and growth. My name is Lynn, I am a LCPC in Maryland with 10 years of experience. I like to work with adults and focus on trauma work, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety.

Welcome

Hello, and thank you for considering me as your therapist. My name is Tarianda Ruston, and I have more than 25 years of experience working in the helping profession. I am a licensed clinical social worker in both Maryland and the District of Columbia, with a diverse background that has allowed me to support individuals and families through many of life's challenges.

Throughout my career, I have worked in child welfare, foster care and adoption, inpatient mental health, custody cases, special education, and school mental health. These experiences have provided me with a deep understanding of the unique challenges people face across different stages of life. My passion is helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and build the tools needed for lifelong emotional wellness.

I believe therapy is a partnership built on trust, respect, and authenticity. My role is not to tell you what to do or make decisions for you. Instead, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences openly. Through thoughtful questions, compassionate reflection, and evidence-based strategies, I will help you gain insight, clarify your values, and make choices that align with the life you want to create.

I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally drained. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood changes, trauma, or life stress and feel stuck despite trying to cope alone. Others seek clarity around symptoms or support during major life transitions. Children and adolescents may struggle with emotional regulation, attention, mood changes, or behavioral concerns. Often, individuals or parents want relief and a clear path forward with a provider who listens and helps them feel more balanced, focused, and hopeful.

I help clients manage anxiety, depression, and stress one step at a time by offering practical tools and supportive, empowering therapy in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 7 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and their caregivers who are struggling with emotional regulation, behavior challenges, developmental differences, and social skills, including those with anxiety, ADHD and autism.

Several of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or unsure where to begin.

As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I take a thoughtful approach to care, combining evidence-based treatment, practical guidance, and collaboration. You can meet with me for therapy only or for both therapy and medication management, depending on what feels right for you.
