ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Catonsville, MD

I provide a welcoming and supportive space for individuals and families facing mental health challenges. I work closely with my clients to help them manage concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents who are navigating mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief and loss, and Autism. I understand that these experiences can shape how young people view themselves, trust others, manage difficult emotions, and perform in school. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel understood, safe, and empowered to grow.

Introduction

I have a passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their mental health journeys. I offer virtual therapy sessions, making it convenient for you to receive support from the comfort of your own space. Fluent in both English and Swahili.

Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.

I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.

My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness. I'll gently challenge you to explore new perspectives and identify patterns, always in a safe space. My core is unconditional positive regard and profound care, ensuring you feel safe and accepted, truly heard and understood.

My strength is equipping you with practical skills for daily life. I provide concrete tools to manage difficult emotions, improve communication, develop robust coping mechanisms, and cultivate emotional resilience. My commitment is tangible results: symptom reduction, sustainable recovery, deeper self-discovery, and ultimately, an improved quality of life. Whether you want to "figure things out" or enhance your mental fitness, I'm here to guide you.

I am trained as a Professional Counselor. During my academic training, in addition to my degree, I am EMDR trained. After my academic training, I started working at MeadowWood Behavioral hospital, an acute psychiatric unit. I worked with adolescents, substance abuse, and adult clients. I have worked with the Kent county health department implementing substance abuse prevention programs in middle and high schools. I believe in the old proverb "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Since 2016 I have been working with the Community Behavioral health providing services in an outpatient setting.

I believe that optimal mental health is achieved through an ongoing, multi-pronged approach. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I am well trained in the art and science of prescribing medications to improve mental health symptoms. I also encourage adjunctive treatment modalities such as CBT. Empowering patients to care for themselves is part of my goal. I embrace opportunities to help my patients gain greater personal insight, because when you can see yourself, you can change yourself.

I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Welcome! As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in your overall well-being, happiness, and quality of life. Taking the first step to seek help can be difficult, so I want to commend you for being here.

I bring over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 18 years working as a nurse in mental health and substance use treatment and the past 3 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice focuses primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, helping individuals find safe, effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs and goals.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. I understand that finding the right medication can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor progress, manage side effects, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful symptom improvement while optimizing your overall quality of life.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I am an IAPAM Certified Weight Management Provider and a Certified Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Provider. This additional expertise allows me to recognize the important connection between mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, and overall wellness, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care when appropriate.

My goal is to help you gain symptom relief, improve daily functioning, and develop a sustainable path toward long-term emotional wellness and stability.

I have always enjoyed working with people. I have both a bachelors and master's in clinical social work. My experience over the past 30years includes working with grief, anxiety, depression, addiction/ recovery. I enjoy working with the military both active duty and veterans as I understand the military culture. You are not a diagnosis to me, but someone who has strengths that need to be bought to the surface.
