I am licensed clinical social worker, practicing in Maryland for over 5 years. My focus involves working with people striving to break patterns and navigating through difficult seasons in life. I work with individuals affected by grief and loss, stress, anxiety and depression. My focus with couples is resolving conflict, establishing healthier patterns and becoming a stronger, more unified team. I have experience in a range of life’s challenges including grief, end of life, palliative care, family services and couples counseling. I have worked as a hospice and palliative care social worker for many years, supporting families through life’s transitions. I also have experience in the aging population and the child welfare system. ​Before I came into this field, I worked in project management. I still love collaborating to find solutions. I find fulfillment in caring for my children and family, and take pride in supporting my spouse’s military service. I believe therapy is meant to include hard conversations, but also joy and relief. Mostly, I believe therapy is a place for you to be seen. What brings you to therapy is only part of who you are, I look forward to learning your story.

It’s so important for me to help others find comfort and confidence in their own identity and personal space. I believe in embracing individuality while recognizing that it’s okay to retreat and recharge when needed. For me, it’s about reminding people to accept and nurture the unique qualities that make them who they are, fostering a sense of inner peace and strength. I’m David Yeager, LCSW-C, and the founder of Tortally Therapeutics, LLC: Psychotherapy & Counseling Services. My approach to mental health care is inspired by the qualities tortoises embody—patience, resilience, adaptability, and the importance of a strong foundation. These qualities are deeply relevant to the healing process and serve as guiding principles in my practice. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and my Master’s in Social Work from Morgan State University. As a licensed clinical social worker and board-approved supervisor, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate life’s challenges for over a decade. I specialize in supporting individuals with a wide range of concerns, including relationship challenges, trauma, domestic violence, child welfare, life skills development, anxiety, depression, anger management, and LGBTQ+ issues. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing begins when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with you?” and instead explore, “What happened to you?” I’ve seen firsthand how past experiences shape who we are and how we respond to the world around us. By addressing these experiences with compassion and curiosity, I help my clients find healing, resilience, and empowerment. As a therapist, I’m interactive and solution-focused. I draw from techniques in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Therapy to tailor treatment to each individual. My goal is to help clients identify what’s important to them, develop effective coping strategies, and gain deeper insight into their thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work toward creating meaningful change and improving their overall well-being. For scheduling, please contact me directly.

Hi, I am Dr. Chriselda Fleming, a licensed psychologist in Maryland. For more than 25 years, I have helped adults move through life’s ups and downs - depression and anxiety, ADD/ADHD and bipolar disorder, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and PTSD, work stress and burnout, and the stuck, low-confidence moments that make life feel smaller than it should. My style blends practical tools from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with the depth and insight of brief psychodynamic work. We will focus on what’s happening now—habits, thoughts, and patterns that can actually change - while also getting curious about the experiences beneath the surface that still shape how you feel and relate today. Therapy should feel safe, respectful, and useful. I aim to create a steady, supportive space where you can understand yourself more clearly, practice new skills, and make decisions that align with who you want to be. Together, we will set a few clear goals, track progress, and adjust as we learn what works best for you. Starting therapy can feel like a big step. It is also a powerful one. My hope is that, over time, you feel more at ease in your daily life, more confident in your choices, and more connected to the version of yourself you are trying to grow into.
