Licensed Professional Counselor

Hi, I’m Marquita Jeffers, a mental health professional at our Columbia, MD clinic with experience working with children, adolescents, and families in both community-based and outpatient settings. I’ve supported individuals navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, and family conflict. My approach is grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. I believe in meeting you where you are and working collaboratively to help you move forward in a way that feels realistic and meaningful for your life.

I help individuals and families better understand their emotions, improve communication, and build practical coping skills. I support those navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is client-centered, focused on helping you gain clarity, confidence, and tools to manage everyday life.

Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, but you don’t have to have everything figured out. I’m here to support you, meet you where you are, and help you move forward at your own pace. Together, we can create a space where you feel heard and supported.
