Philip Sharp

Therapist

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.

Tayla Fawumi

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


I'm Tayla — an LCPCS in Maryland, which means I hold both a clinical counseling license and a supervisory designation. I've spent the past 8 years doing this work, and the thing that's never changed is what I care about most: helping people feel genuinely heard, sometimes for the first time. I specialize in couples therapy, women's issues, cultural and identity work, and supporting adults navigating anxiety, panic, anger, and the weight of managing everything on their own. As a Black woman, I bring particular intention to working with clients navigating the intersections of culture, identity, and mental health — clients who want a therapist who doesn't need everything explained from scratch. My style is direct, energetic, and fully invested in where you're actually trying to go.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

If you’re feeling isolated, unmotivated, or like nothing you do really matters — you’re not alone. I specialize in supporting folks who are struggling with anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder. I deeply believe that every person deserves to feel respected and seen first and foremost as a human being, not just as a diagnosis.

I’ve seen how hard it can be to feel like your life is on pause — like you’re watching from the sidelines. It hurts. I get how lonely that can make you feel, and I’m here to show you there is a path forward.
