Professional statement

Timothy Ayd is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) in Maryland. Timothy helps people who have lived through traumatic events, anxiety, and grief. He specializes in helping individuals in the medical community, including teens, young adults, emergency services personnel, and military personnel.

Timothy takes a holistic approach to therapy. Incorporating the body as well as the mind, targeting stress and pain, and finding ways to release it is just as important as processing thoughts and feelings. Timothy also specializes in Nature-Informed therapy, an approach that incorporates the healing power of nature into therapy. Ultimately, Timothy believes that there is no growth without challenge and that reaching out is the first step toward growth.

Timothy Ayd received his Master of Science in Clinical and Professional Counseling from Loyola University Maryland. He has spent several years gaining experience and incorporating nature into my work, most notably by helping Native Americans in Baltimore City and working with the Center for Nature-Informed Therapy.

Timothy is currently virtual-only and has immediate availability Monday - Friday, morning, afternoon, and evening.


Message to clients

I understand that starting therapy or trying therapy again can be a daunting task. It can be hard to find a therapist, especially the right therapist for you. However, I believe showing up authentically and honestly can help make this process easier. My calming presence creates an environment where people feel heard and can be their authentic selves. I believe that therapy is more than just talking; it is a place where we learn more about ourselves and overcome the burdens that hold us back. This does not happen overnight; it happens by being open and challenging ourselves. While this may seem overwhelming, this is not something you have to do alone. My ultimate hope in therapy is to be there for you and to help you become the best version of yourself!
