Mission
Who We Are
Enact Counseling is proudly based in Baltimore City, and focuses on providing effective therapy from a radically different perspective -- one that isn't based in capitalism, or in the over medicalization of mental health, nor siloing the brain from the rest of the body. The team at Enact believes that therapy is not one size fits all, and that our goal is to be agents of the change you want to see. We work diligently to provide patient centered services, not system centered services. We often work with folks that feel marginalized, or those who feel they can't live up to society's standards.
Acceptance and Commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of psychotherapy that helps individuals accept and embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to control or avoid them. It focuses on enhancing psychological flexibility by promoting mindfulness, cognitive defusion (separating oneself from one's thoughts), and being present in the moment. ACT encourages people to clarify their personal values and commit to actions that align with these values, even when faced with challenges. The goal is to foster a more meaningful and fulfilling life by helping individuals live in accordance with what truly matters to them.
Somatic Therapies
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that helps clients process stress, trauma, and emotional patterns by increasing awareness of the connection between the mind and body. Through guided techniques that support nervous system regulation, clients can build greater resilience, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of safety and connection within themselves. Nick is certified in the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), an evidence-based listening therapy designed to support nervous system regulation, emotional well-being, and social engagement.
Strong Black Woman Schema
The Strong Black Woman (SBW) schema is a cultural construct that portrays Black women as inherently resilient, self-sufficient, and emotionally invulnerable, often leading to the suppression of their own needs and feelings. In therapy, addressing the SBW schema involves helping clients recognize and challenge these cultural expectations, validate their emotional experiences, and develop healthier coping strategies. Therapists work to create a space where Black women can express their vulnerabilities, explore the impact of societal pressures, and foster self-compassion, ultimately promoting a more balanced and authentic self-expression.
Gender Support & Affirmation
Gender-affirming therapy provides a supportive, inclusive space for individuals exploring gender identity, transition, self-expression, and overall emotional well-being. Services may include support for anxiety, depression, relationships, family dynamics, identity exploration, and navigating social or medical transitions. Letter writing services are available for clients seeking documentation for gender-affirming medical care, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), gender-affirming surgeries, and other transition-related services, in accordance with WPATH standards of care.
