Deaf Counseling and Therapy Services in Maryland

Are you looking for a Deaf therapist or counselor in Maryland who truly understands your language, identity, and experience? At Deaf Counseling Center, we offer therapy and counseling services led by Deaf professionals who are fluent in ASL and grounded in Deaf culture.

We don’t just serve the Deaf community — we are the Deaf community. All of our therapists and counselors are Deaf, licensed, and experienced in providing mental health care without the need for interpreters or captions. However, for clients who prefer to use interpreters, we are happy to accommodate that. In short, we meet you where you are and support the communication style that works best for you.

Serving the Entire Maryland Deaf Community

We provide virtual counseling and therapy throughout Maryland, including:

  • Baltimore

  • Silver Spring

  • Rockville

  • Frederick

  • Annapolis

  • College Park

  • And rural areas statewide

As a result, clients across the state can receive high-quality mental health support without needing to travel. Additionally, all sessions are HIPAA-compliant and take place in a private, secure virtual setting.

Licensed Deaf Therapists, Counselors, and Psychologists

Our team includes a range of licensed Deaf mental health professionals:

  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW-C)

  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselors (LCPC)

  • Psychologists (PsyD, PhD)

  • Other licensed Deaf providers

Because of our diverse team, we’re able to offer services tailored to different needs, age groups, and communities. We use the word “Deaf” as an inclusive term for all Deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind, DeafPlus, late-deafened, oral Deaf, ASL users, CI users, and other identities. Moreover, we work with LGBTQ+ clients, CODAs, and Deaf families.

Counseling and Therapy Services We Offer

We support Maryland residents in navigating:

  • Anxiety, stress, and panic

  • Depression and low mood

  • Relationship and family concerns

  • Trauma, grief, and healing

  • LGBTQ+ identity and gender-related challenges

  • Burnout, life transitions, and work stress

  • Deaf identity, communication trauma, and cultural isolation

All in all, our services are designed to affirm your identity and provide a safe place for healing.

Sessions are available in ASL or your preferred communication method. If needed, interpreters can be arranged. In addition, text-based counseling is also offered for clients who prefer writing over video.

Why Choose Deaf Counseling Center?

Unlike national services that rely on rotating providers or communication centers, we offer consistency, connection, and shared cultural understanding.

When you work with us:

  • You won’t have to explain Deaf culture

  • You won’t need to navigate interpreters (unless you choose to)

  • You won’t be misunderstood

Instead, you’ll receive care from someone who understands the Deaf experience — someone who shares your language and values.

Furthermore, you can expect long-term continuity with your therapist, rather than switching providers every few months.

Getting Started With a Deaf Therapist in Maryland

Getting started is simple. We offer a consultation to help you find the right therapist. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning, we’re here to make the process easy and welcoming.
