About Dr. Chriselda Fleming
Dr. Chriselda Fleming is a Maryland-licensed psychologist with 27 years of experience supporting adults through depression, anxiety, ADHD and bipolar disorder, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and PTSD, work-related stress and burnout, and the low-confidence moments that can make life feel smaller. She holds an MD (Doctor of Medicine) and combines practical skill-building with deeper exploration to help clients create meaningful change.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits through concrete tools, with brief psychodynamic work that looks at earlier experiences shaping current patterns. This mix keeps attention on what can change now while also inviting curiosity about the personal history that continues to influence feelings and relationships.
Dr. Fleming strives to offer a steady, respectful, and useful therapeutic space where clients can practice new skills, clarify values, and make decisions that align with who they want to become. She works collaboratively to set clear goals, track progress, and adapt strategies as progress is made. Beginning therapy is framed as a powerful step toward greater ease, confidence, and connection to the self.
For scheduling, Dr. Fleming manages her own calendar and is available Monday through Friday from 11 AM to 5 PM Eastern. Prospective clients are asked to share three daytime windows that work for them so the first suitable appointment can be placed on the calendar.
