Care for your mental health. Live refreshed.

Shalem Roots Counseling exists so that getting real therapy anywhere in Maryland doesn't depend on what insurance you carry.

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

We started Shalem Roots Counseling 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. Appointments were full, waitlists were long, or Medicaid simply wasn't accepted at all.

So we built a practice around that gap from the very beginning — licensed clinicians, evidence-based care, and support for the plans people actually have, across every county in Maryland. Our goal is simple: help you get grounded, and help you become whole.

Our approach

Evidence-based

Our clinicians use approaches grounded in research, matched to what you're actually working through — not a generic template.

Accessible by design

We built this practice around Maryland Medicaid from day one, not as an afterthought once other insurance ran out.

Client-centered

You set the pace. We meet you where you are, not where a treatment plan assumes you should be.

Whole-person care

Healing isn't just symptom management — it's feeling grounded enough to actually live the life you want.
