Getting to know Melanie Sentz

Hello! I am Melanie and I have dreamed of helping other people live better lives since I was a little girl. I grew up in Baltimore City in a family that valued kindness, inclusion, and community service. I was the first person in my family to graduate from college, where I studied psychology and sociology. Twenty years ago, I started my first job in this field as a Residential Caseworker in a group home. I then went on to obtain a Master's in Social Work, after which I worked in a variety of settings to hone my skills as a social worker and therapist. I have worked in schools, domestic violence programs, hospitals, government agencies, residential facilities, outpatient clinics, and within the homes of my clients. These variegated experiences have allowed me to develop a skill set to effectively treat people of all ages and backgrounds who are navigating a wide range of stressors and problems. I am prepared to help you with any aspect of your life that has caused anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and unhealthy coping patterns (such as addiction, self-harm, self-isolation, and co-dependency with others). My clients tell me that I am warm, supportive, insightful, and- most importantly- genuine- in my care and support of them.

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.
