​

I started SoCo Counseling because I know what it’s like to need support and struggle to find it.

As a mother, school counselor, therapist, and member of this community, I saw too many families driving long distances, sitting on waitlists, or giving up because quality mental health care wasn’t accessible close to home.

I knew our community deserved better.

Today, SoCo Counseling is a team of compassionate therapists committed to helping people feel seen, supported, and understood.

Whether you’re seeking help for yourself, your child, your relationship, or your family, our goal is simple:

To provide the kind of care we would want for the people we love most.

You don’t have to do this alone.

We’re here when you’re ready.

Therapy for real people facing real life.

SoCo Counseling is here to serve the needs of the greater South County region while offering virtual (telehealth therapy) counseling to the entire state of Maryland, for children, adolescents, and adults. We also provide couples therapy.  Founded by Amanda Fincher, our goal is to meet the mental health needs of our community locally so families don't have to travel far to get the help they need. Our Mental Health Clinic is made up of highly experienced mental health professionals who place value in the relationship formed in therapy as monumental in eliciting positive and productive change. We take great pride in providing our community with high-quality, patient-centric care.
