Therapy for Individuals & Couples
-
Perinatal therapy can support you through the many transitions of pregnancy and parenthood—including family planning, pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, and the emotional changes that come with becoming or growing your family. Therapy offers a compassionate space to process what you’re experiencing, feel more grounded, and navigate this season with greater support and self-trust.
-
Anxiety and OCD can leave you feeling stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, or feeling the need to find certainty and control. Therapy offers a space to better understand these patterns, build a different relationship with your anxiety and feel more grounded in your daily life. I’m trained in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based treatment for OCD, and integrate mindfulness, parts work, somatic approaches, and creative arts to help you navigate anxiety with greater self-compassion, flexibility, and confidence. Our work is collaborative and tailored to your needs, helping you move toward a life guided less by fear and more by what matters most to you.
-
Trauma can shape the way you relate to yourself, your relationships, and the world around you long after the original experiences have passed. Therapy offers a compassionate space to make sense of these patterns and explore how past experiences may still show up in your emotions, nervous system, and relationships. I hold advanced trauma certification from the Ferentz Institute and draw from parts work, creative arts, mindfulness, and attachment-based approaches to help you understand your responses, build a greater sense of safety in your body, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. Our work moves at your pace, with a focus on building trust, reconnecting with your strengths, and creating space for healing and growth.
-
Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, a major life change, or the ending of something deeply meaningful. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy offers a compassionate space to process your loss, make room for complicated emotions, and feel less alone. Together we’ll honor your experience while finding ways to carry your grief and reconnect with yourself as life changes.
-
Relationships can be deeply meaningful—and deeply challenging. Therapy can help you slow down, understand the patterns that are getting in the way, and find your way back to one another. I use principles from the Gottman Method and Imago Relationship Therapy to support healthier communication, deeper understanding, and a stronger sense of connection. Whether you’re navigating conflict, a major life transition, or simply wanting to feel closer, we’ll work together to build a relationship that feels more secure and connected.
About Me
Hello! I’m Emily Mahoney, LCPC, LPMT, MT-BC, PMH-C. I’m a licensed counselor and music therapist in Maryland, with a particular focus on perinatal mental health, including the emotional transitions of pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, and pregnancy or infant loss. I also work with anxiety, trauma, and grief and loss across different stages of life.
I hold advanced certifications in both perinatal mental health and trauma, and I bring a collaborative, creative, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused approach to therapy. I believe that meaningful healing happens through connection to ourselves, others, and to the parts of ourselves that may have been hurt, overwhelmed, or overlooked. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, the impact of past experiences, the transition into parenthood, or the pain of loss, I’ll meet you with empathy, curiosity, and respect for your unique story.
My goal is to create a space where you feel deeply seen, supported, and safe to show up fully as yourself. Together, we can build greater understanding of your emotions, body, relationships, and patterns while developing tools that help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in yourself. As an LGBTQ+ and gender-affirming therapist, I strive to create an inclusive and culturally responsive space where your identity and lived experience are respected. I’m committed to ongoing learning so that my practice continues to grow alongside the people I serve.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a millennial mom navigating my own challenges in parenthood. I enjoy Baltimore City life, Broadway musicals, farmers markets, travel, and coffee. I value time spent with family and in community, lifelong learning, and finding small moments of joy in everyday life.
Seeking therapy is an act of courage. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater connection, confidence, and your own inner harmony.

I am an out-of-network, private-pay practice and do not participate directly with insurance companies. This allows us greater flexibility in determining the frequency and focus of therapy based on your needs rather than insurance requirements.
If your plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits.
-
Yes. Therapy services may be eligible for payment using HSA or FSA funds. Clients are encouraged to check with their plan administrator regarding eligibility and reimbursement requirements.
