About Me

    My name is Amy Kestelman (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have a genuine curiosity about the human experience and it’s been an honor to have people share their stories with me over my 15 years working in clinical settings. I like to utilize humor and creativity in our work together. I provide a compassionate, supportive, non-judgmental space, and am affirming of peoples’ diverse life experiences.

    I firmly believe in a strengths-based approach while incorporating interventions from several theoretical models to meet your needs. I will help you to reframe how you view yourself and remind you of your strengths.

    About Me

      Trained in multiple therapeutic approaches, I take an integrative collaborative approach to therapy, individualizing the treatment to best facilitate my patients’ growth and positive change.

I have worked for over 20 years in the Baltimore Metropolitan and Washington, D.C. area providing therapy to adults, children (age 3 and older), adolescents, couples and families of diverse backgrounds, but just joined the GBCC Counseling Centers in 2017. I have expertise in treating depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, relationship issues, parenting issues and chronic pain. I strongly believe in providing culturally sensitive care and LGBTQ affirming care.

      I obtained my Master’s degree in 1995 and my Doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology in 2000 from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. I also have Bachelor of Arts degrees in English and Psychology from Williams College in Massachusetts.

          About Me 

            I am a Licensed Psychologist who joined GBCC in October of 2007. I employ an integrative approach to treatment with individuals involving both insight oriented therapy and behavioral interventions to help people achieve their goals. I view therapy as a collaborative relationship in which I help people to achieve insights, to form more effective ways of coping with stress, and to make positive changes in their lives. I believe that people are best able to do this in a caring and supportive environment. My areas of concentration are depression, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, psychological trauma, and crisis intervention.

            I earned my Doctoral degree from Loyola College in Maryland and completed my Clinical training at the Johns Hopkins University Counseling Center. Prior to that, I earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Fairleigh Dickinson University and my Undergraduate degree from Seton Hall University. I have over ten years experience in providing counseling services to adults.

            I am primarily located at Glen Burnie where I perform therapy and weight loss surgery evaluations. I also perform weight loss surgery evaluations at the Timonium location.
