About bay area counseling & consultation
Empowering growth and healing
At Bay Area Counseling & Consultation, LLC (BACC) located in Severna Park, we believe healing happens when people feel validated, supported and safe. Our team is trained in trauma-informed care and are guided by the values of integrity, quality, and compassion. We’re committed to breaking down the stigma around mental health and building a community where every person feels welcome and valued.
Many of us specialize in neurodivergence, complex trauma, anxiety, and substance use disorders, and we are proud to support diverse communities,including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ populations. We use evidence-informed approaches that help people build resilience, regulate emotions, and find lasting and sustainable growth.
We offer unique services such as animal-assisted psychotherapy with our canine and equine colleagues, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and trauma-focused therapies like Brainspotting and EMDR.
We provide both in-person sessions in Severna Park and telehealth across the region, starting at age five, with evening availability and most insurance plans accepted.
We’re here to walk with you—one step at a time – and it would be our honor to support you on your mental health journey!
Healing works best in a space that’s safe, inclusive, and Trauma-sensitive.
Explore how our holistic, evidence-based methods can guide your journey toward well-being.
