### Licensed Master Social Worker

![](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Onita_Wells_1.jpg)

Hi, my name is Onita! I am a provider at our [Glen Burnie](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/location/glen-burnie-md.md) clinic who provides [therapy](https://www.columbiapsychiatry-dc.com/psychiatric-care/mental-health-counseling-and-therapy/) services!

I know life can feel overwhelming at times. Maybe you’re struggling with stress, anxiety, or feelings of being stuck. Perhaps you’re navigating a difficult relationship, a major life change, or emotions you can’t quite put into words. Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to go through it alone.

As a therapist, I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we’ll work to understand your challenges and build a path forward—one that feels right for you.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about taking the first step toward healing and growth. If you’re ready to start that journey, or even if you’re just curious about how therapy might help, I’d love to connect. Reach out today, and let’s take the first step together.
