Our Story
Magothy River Counseling is nestled in the heart of Anne Arundel County, between the Magothy and Severn Rivers in Severna Park Maryland. Magothy River Counseling was born out of a huge need and passion for providing knowledgeable and competent psychotherapy for the LGBTQ Community. Our providers are all clinical mental health professionals and can help in navigating general mental health needs, including ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma.
Given our specialty in working with members of the LGBTQ Communities – We see clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities and relationship structures. Our hope is to help support and foster growth among those of us who might be found on the “fringes” or “alternative” relationships or activities. We aim to provide a place free of judgement, and shame, in which individuals and couples have the opportunity to identify their most authentic selves. We are a place where we can discuss sexual health and wellness, concepts that others’ might find as “taboo”. And, to be a place where you don’t have to spend your time in therapy educating your therapist on the basics of your identities, relationships, or sexual practices.
We could go on and on…. but wether you are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Non-Binary, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Two-Spirit, or Asexual …. Whether you are Single, Married, Partnered, Consensually Non-Monogomous, or Polyamarous…. Whether you are Kinky, Vanilla, or somewhere in-between… Whether you are coping with relationship distress around trying to conceive, being new parents, dealing with your own or a partner’s mental health, having sexual dysfunction, coming out later in life, in a relationship where your partner is transitioning, rekindling sexual desire, having differences in libido, needing to explore your individual sexual needs – We provide a safe place for you.
