Getting to know Barb Elgin
EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. Welcome. I'm an LCSW-C practicing in Maryland, and I earned my MSW from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in Baltimore. With almost 40 years of experience in mental health settings, I bring a warm, thoughtful, and grounded approach to helping people better understand what they need and where to begin.
Having worked in mental health across several decades, I've seen the field become both richer and more complex. There are now many more kinds of therapists, areas of specialization, and approaches to care than most clients know how to sort through on their own. I'm especially helpful for people who have struggled to find the right therapist fit. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, discouraged by past starts and stops, or unsure why therapy has not felt as helpful as they hoped.
One of my strengths is listening carefully, noticing patterns, and helping people clarify what kind of support may fit them best. For some, that may mean continuing therapy with me. For others, it may mean leaving with more clarity about what kind of therapist, style, or approach they may want to look for.
I offer virtual therapy throughout Maryland and make evening appointments available because I know many people need options that are both convenient and accessible.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
