With three decades of experience serving our community since 1995, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across all stages of life—from young children to adults. This diversity continues to fuel my passion for therapy as I support clients in navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and the everyday stressors of life.

My specialized focus is in working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma throughout their lives. I am deeply committed to enhancing the health, well-being, and relationships of those I serve. Each therapeutic approach is thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs and strengths of every client.

In our sessions, your needs and aspirations will always be at the center. I view therapy as a collaborative journey—one of growth, healing, and positive change—paced in a way that feels right and comfortable for you.

For the past 15 years, I have provided therapeutic counseling services in a variety of settings, including inpatient, residential, governmental, and outpatient environments. Each of these experiences has deepened my appreciation for the diverse backgrounds and unique needs of the individuals I’ve had the privilege to support.

What brings me the greatest joy in this work is building meaningful relationships with my clients—relationships grounded in trust, support, healthy challenge, and encouragement. My ultimate goal is to help individuals achieve their personal life goals by fostering growth and guiding the development of new skills and behaviors that promote lasting change.

I work with a wide range of age groups and enjoy providing therapy to individuals, families, and couples. I believe that every person has the potential for healing and transformation when given the right tools and support.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active through exercise, learning new languages, and exploring new recipes in the kitchen. These activities help keep me balanced and continuously curious about the world around me.

Over the past thirty years, my work has taken me across a wide range of settings—from hospital emergency rooms to private therapy offices. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, couples, and adults of all ages. These diverse experiences have deepened my ability to connect meaningfully with clients and support them through a broad spectrum of life’s challenges.

At the core of my approach is a deep respect for every individual’s journey. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are, offering acceptance, compassion, and a safe space to explore growth and healing. My warm, welcoming presence—combined with a willingness to walk alongside those navigating pain, grief, or hardship—has helped many clients uncover their own courage and reclaim the power to move forward with purpose.

Whether you're seeking support through a life transition, healing from past trauma, or working toward new goals, I am here to help you navigate that path with care and collaboration.

Hello, I’m Emery Jefferies, a licensed clinical therapist in the state of Maryland with over 25 years of experience in the field of social work.

Together, we can explore how past experiences may be shaping current patterns and behaviors, while working to create meaningful change.
