If you've been carrying the weight of a traumatic experience — whether it's a single event or ongoing trauma — and it's affecting your daily life, relationships, or sense of safety, you don't have to carry it alone. The thought of a 30-40 minute drive to Laurel can feel overwhelming, especially when you're already struggling with hypervigilance, flashbacks, or avoidance. Dr. Gloria Fosu provides compassionate trauma and PTSD therapy in Germantown through secure telehealth, so you can get the care you need from a place where you feel safe. She offers therapy, grounding techniques, and trauma-informed care to help you heal at your own pace. Dr. Fosu is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with advanced training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based treatments. We're a trusted mental health clinic serving patients across Maryland with flexible options to fit your life.
When you're carrying the weight of trauma, the thought of a 30-40 minute drive can feel like one more thing you just can't manage — especially when hypervigilance and avoidance are already exhausting you. That's why we've designed our care around your safety and comfort. Here's how we make trauma therapy more accessible, flexible, and human.
Trauma therapy is most effective when you feel safe. For many people, that safety is found at home — not in a waiting room. Through telehealth, you can meet with Dr. Fosu from wherever you feel most comfortable and secure. No traffic on I-270. No parking stress. No waiting room anxiety. Just expert trauma-informed care in an environment where you can be at ease.
Same-week appointments are often available. Just click a secure link from your phone, tablet, or computer — no software downloads, no complicated setup. For Germantown residents, this means you can skip the 30-40 minute drive and get the support you need, in a space where you feel safe.
We understand that some people feel more comfortable meeting face-to-face, especially when it comes to trauma therapy. Our Laurel office is about a 30-40 minute drive from Germantown via I-270 and I-95. Free parking is available right outside the building, and our clinic is designed to feel safe, calming, and welcoming — not clinical or cold.
Whether you choose telehealth or in-person, you'll receive the same expert, trauma-informed care from Dr. Fosu. We're here to support you — not to add more stress to your life. Learn more about telehealth if you'd like to skip the drive entirely and get care from home.
If you choose to visit us in person, our Laurel office is here to welcome you. The drive from Germantown typically takes about 30-40 minutes via I-270 and I-95. Free parking is available, and our space is designed to feel safe, calming, and grounding — not clinical or cold.

Before your visit, you'll receive forms to complete. Please bring your insurance card, a valid ID, and a list of any current medications. If you're feeling anxious about the drive or the appointment — especially when trauma makes it hard to feel safe in new places — that's completely understandable. We're here to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible. You're in control of what you share and when you share it.
The drive from Germantown to Laurel typically takes 30-40 minutes via I-270 and I-95. We recommend allowing extra time during rush hour and giving yourself plenty of space before the appointment.

No commute required, no waiting room, just care from a place where you feel safe. Call us at (240) 360-7308 with any questions about your visit.

For trauma survivors, leaving the house can feel overwhelming — especially when you're already dealing with hypervigilance, flashbacks, or avoidance. Telehealth brings expert trauma therapy to your home, so you can start healing from a place where you feel safe and in control.
Before your appointment, you'll receive a secure video link via email. At the scheduled time, simply click the link and join from your phone, tablet, or computer. No software to download, no technical headaches — just a simple, secure connection that lets you focus on what matters: your healing.
All sessions are HIPAA-compliant and fully confidential. You can be in your living room, your bedroom, or anywhere you feel safe and comfortable. No waiting room. No commute. Just trauma-informed care that meets you where you are — because when you're healing from trauma, feeling safe is the most important thing.
All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. Find a quiet, private space where you can speak freely and feel safe. Have your insurance card and a list of current medications ready. That's it — no traffic on I-270, no parking stress, no waiting room.
Same-week appointments are often available. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment. For Germantown residents, telehealth means you can get expert trauma therapy without leaving your home — and without the 30-40 minute drive. If you're also experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, we can address those conditions together during your visit.
Trauma therapy isn't about reliving the worst moments of your life — it's about finding safety, understanding your responses, and reclaiming the life you deserve. Here's what you can expect from care that's designed to help you heal at your own pace.
Your first appointment is a safe, non-judgmental space where Dr. Fosu takes time to understand your history, symptoms, and how trauma has affected your daily life. She'll ask about what you've experienced and what you're hoping to achieve — but you'll never be forced to share anything you're not ready to talk about. Healing happens at your pace, not ours. Whether you're joining from Germantown via telehealth or visiting our Laurel office, you'll receive the same compassionate, trauma-informed care.
We take time to help you understand how trauma shows up in your body and mind — whether it's hypervigilance, flashbacks, avoidance, or emotional numbness. You'll learn to recognize your triggers and understand why you react the way you do. This knowledge is the first step toward healing. For Germantown residents, this clarity can be especially powerful — it helps you feel more in control even when you're navigating daily life.
We use proven therapeutic approaches — including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and grounding techniques — to help you process traumatic experiences and build coping skills. If medication is also helpful, Dr. Fosu provides thoughtful medication support as part of your comprehensive care plan. We don't just treat symptoms — we help you build resilience and reclaim your life.
Healing from trauma takes time, and we never rush you. We schedule regular follow-ups — in-person at our Laurel office or via telehealth — to track your progress, adjust treatment as needed, and support you through every stage of recovery. The goal isn't just to manage symptoms — it's to help you heal and build a life that feels safe and meaningful. Learn more about our approach to psychiatric care and how we support long-term recovery.

Trauma and anxiety can look similar, but trauma often involves specific triggers connected to past events — like flashbacks, nightmares, or feeling like you're reliving something. You might also avoid certain places, people, or situations that remind you of what happened. If you're experiencing these symptoms, trauma therapy might be a better fit. Dr. Fosu will help you understand what's going on and recommend the right approach. Our main office is in Laurel, about a 30-40 minute drive from Germantown via I-270 and I-95, or you can meet via secure telehealth from the comfort of your home.
