About

Loretta Collins (Begg) is a licensed clinical professional counselor practicing in Maryland. She is licensed in Maryland as an LCPC, license number LC12064, and has four years of clinical experience.

After a 25-year career in sales, she returned to school and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with a person-centered framework, emphasizing collaborative work between therapist and client rather than a one-sided process.

Her clinical background includes working with people experiencing substance use disorders and other co-occurring conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, major depressive disorder, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. One of the reasons she entered the counseling field was to challenge the stigma surrounding psychological health and to advocate for viewing brain disorders on the same level as physical health concerns.
