McCrady Counseling & Consulting, LLC

anxiety, grief, & Trauma therapy for adults in Maryland

Heal the roots. Grow with purpose. Live wholeheartedly.

Something has you feeling stuck.

You may have found your way here because something difficult has happened. You’ve tried to handle it on your own, and now you’re ready for support. That’s a strong and brave step.

You're exhausted from running on empty. Anxious about everything and nothing at the same time. Grieving losses that others don't seem to understand. Or questioning beliefs that once felt certain but now feel confusing or even painful.

You didn't sign up to feel this disconnected from yourself. But here you are—doing all the "right things" and still feeling like something's off.

In therapy I can help you with things like:

  • Quiet the anxious thoughts and relentless inner critic that keep you from living your life

  • Process grief and loss in a way that honors what you’ve been through without rushing or bypassing the hard parts while embracing the good parts

  • Set boundaries that actually stick without guilt or automatic apologizing for having needs

  • Heal from spiritual or religious abuse and reclaim who you are and what you believe

You've been taking care of everyone else. Now it's time to take care of you.


Joy McCrady, LCPC, providing telehealth therapy across Maryland

Hey There, I’m Joy.

I help helpers—parents, caregivers, faith leaders, service members, and professionals—who now find themselves needing care, too.

And if you’ve found yourself here, it probably means something has gone a bit sideways or you are looking for other transformation. Maybe you’re grieving a loss you didn’t expect, running on fumes from professional or caregiver burnout, navigating a crisis of faith, or just tired of trying to hold it all together without much support. You've already made a brave move by looking for support.

Therapy asks for honesty, patience, compassion, and effort. These are the ingredients that lead to lasting change. We will pace the work together so you feel safe to face the hard stuff to get to the good stuff. I’d be honored to support you.

I provide telehealth therapy to adults throughout Maryland, including Annapolis, Baltimore, Columbia, Towson, Severna Park, Rockville, and beyond, and provide limited, in-person sessions in Severna Park, MD.
