Our Journey

Founded in 2013, Community Wellness Outpatient Mental Health Center has become a trusted provider of mental health care for individuals and families in Baltimore, Maryland, and surrounding communities. Our journey began with a small mental health practice that has since evolved into a comprehensive outpatient clinic. In 2016, we expanded our services and relocated to Highlandtown to better serve the community, providing compassionate, accessible, and personalized mental health care.

With Joint Commission accreditation earned in 2017 and CARF accreditation in 2018, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and care. Today, we offer a full suite of evidence-based therapies and support services, including health home services and community outreach initiatives. Our focus remains on meeting the unique needs of each client, fostering resilience and well-being through effective, client-centered care.

Our experienced psychiatrists conduct thorough evaluations to assess mental health conditions and develop personalized treatment plans. We prioritize understanding each individual’s unique needs and circumstances to provide targeted interventions.

Individual Therapy

Our licensed therapists offer one-on-one counseling sessions to address a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship issues. Through a collaborative and supportive approach, we empower clients to explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and work towards positive change.

Group Therapy

Participating in group therapy provides a supportive environment for individuals to connect with others facing similar challenges. Led by skilled therapists, our group sessions focus on topics such as stress management, coping strategies, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills development.

We recognize the importance of family dynamics in mental health and offer family therapy to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. Our therapists work with families to address issues such as parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, and navigating major life transitions.

We provide psychoeducational workshops and skill-building groups to equip clients with practical tools and strategies for managing their mental health more effectively. Topics may include stress reduction techniques, emotion regulation skills, and assertive communication training.
