Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Columbia, MD

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and I love the outdoors and most anything to do with water (boating, fishing, sailing, etc.). I have 25+ years of experience helping people as a clinical social worker. My practice has been primarily geared toward adults. I have particular expertise in men's issues.

Are you navigating anxiety, depression, or the challenges of recovery? You don't have to face it alone. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland, I specialize in supporting adults who are ready to do meaningful work — at whatever stage of life or recovery they're in.

I bring several years of specialized experience supporting adults in recovery, and a background in equine-assisted psychotherapy that informs my understanding of emotional connection, healing, and growth in ways that go beyond the traditional therapy room. Whether you're working through life transitions, struggling with anxiety or depression, or building a life in recovery, I focus on helping you develop practical coping skills, deeper self-awareness, and lasting resilience.

I provide structured, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, and complex mental health conditions. I specialize in treating individuals who have had limited response to prior treatment and require a more personalized, clinically guided approach. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in both community and residential settings.

Dr. Troy A. Waller, a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than two decades of experience, provides services across Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Darius Brittingham, and I am a mental health and substance abuse therapist with a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges while building the skills needed to create meaningful and lasting change. My professional background includes working with individuals experiencing mental health concerns, substance use challenges, stress, anxiety, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, respectful, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions, and goals.

Clients who seek counseling may feel overwhelmed, stressed out, frustrated and anxious. My warm, compassionate demeanor coupled with a straightforward approach creates a supportive environment in which clients learn skills and receive guidance to become more engaged in their lives.

I also understand that the workplace can be rewarding, but also challenging, impacting a person’s happiness. Client’s leave therapy with coping strategies, helpful problem-solving abilities, and hope for the future.

I have been a practicing therapist for a decade and I have special interests and certifications in addiction and perinatal mental health. I received my masters degree from the George Washington University and have a perinatal specialist certification from Postpartum Support International.
