Shalem means whole — fully restored, not just symptom-free. Roots is what makes that last.

We started Shalem Roots after hearing the same thing again and again from people in our community: they wanted therapy, but couldn't find a provider who took their coverage. So we built a practice around that from the start — licensed clinicians, evidence-based care, and support for the plans people actually have. Read our full story →

Shalem Roots Counseling provides scheduled outpatient therapy — it isn't urgent or same-day crisis care. For a mental health emergency, call or text 988, or go to your nearest emergency room.

Do you have Maryland Medicaid?

Questions

Are you seeing clients yet?

We're taking waitlist signups now and will reach out as soon as we're scheduling appointments.

Is there a therapist near me that accepts Medicaid?

If you're in Hyattsville, College Park, Riverdale Park, Landover, Greenbelt, Bladensburg, or elsewhere in Prince George's County, MD — yes. We also offer telehealth for Maryland Medicaid recipients statewide, so location isn't a barrier even outside our home area.

Do you accept Maryland Medicaid?

Yes — we work with Maryland Medicaid plans. We'll confirm your specific plan and coverage before your first appointment.

Do I need a diagnosis to join?

No. Joining the waitlist doesn't require a diagnosis or commit you to anything.
