Nasim Ameri

Therapist

Hi there, I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with several years of experience supporting individuals through emotional healing, self-discovery, and meaningful life transitions. My background includes working in both clinical and community-based settings, where I’ve supported adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and major life changes.

In addition to my clinical work, I am also a special education paraprofessional in the Montgomery County Public School system, where I have experience working with elementary- and adolescent-aged students. This role has deepened my understanding of child and adolescent development, learning differences, emotional regulation, and the unique challenges young people and their families often face.

I take a compassionate, relational, and culturally responsive approach to therapy. I integrate evidence-based practices with mindfulness, insight-oriented work, and practical coping tools, always tailoring treatment to each client’s unique history and goals. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and human, not clinical or judgmental.

As a therapist, I value honesty, warmth, and emotional depth. I work best with clients who want to better understand themselves, strengthen boundaries, heal old wounds, and build healthier relationships with others and with themselves. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned in your life.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hagerstown, MD

Searching for therapists in Hagerstown starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look at the concerns they list, the populations they work with, and the approaches they use, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care. These details can help you narrow your search to therapists whose experience matches your needs.

In a smaller city like Hagerstown, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Maryland. Some people prefer in-person sessions near Downtown, Robinwood, or Bethel, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Hagerstown can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated session cost before booking, then compare therapist bios, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
