Dr. Gloria Fosu provides compassionate trauma and PTSD therapy in Columbia through secure telehealth or in-person visits at our Laurel office, about a 20-25 minute drive away. 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.

While our main office is in Laurel — about a 20-25 minute drive from Columbia — we make it easy to access expert trauma-informed care. Here's how.
Our main office at 14504 Greenview Drive #207, Laurel, MD 20708 is easily accessible from Columbia. It's a straightforward drive via Route 29 or I-95, typically taking 20-25 minutes depending on traffic. Free parking is available right outside the building, and our clinic is designed to feel safe and welcoming — especially important when you're seeking trauma therapy.
For Columbia residents who prefer face-to-face care for their trauma therapy, this is a convenient option. We also have offices in Burtonsville and Baltimore for those who may be closer to those locations.
Don't want to drive? We offer secure telehealth for trauma therapy. All services — including initial evaluations, therapy, grounding techniques, and follow-up care — are available through a secure video platform. No traffic. No waiting room. Just expert care from your couch, in a space where you feel most comfortable.
Same-week appointments are often available. All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and internet connection. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment. For trauma survivors, the ability to receive care from a familiar, safe environment can be especially important.

You'll be able to see Dr. Fosu, speak with her directly, and receive the same quality of care you would in person — without leaving your home.

Same-week appointments are often available. We'll send you a secure link before your appointment. For Columbia residents, telehealth means you can get expert trauma therapy without leaving your home. If you're also experiencing symptoms of depression, we can address both conditions together.
Whether you choose telehealth or an in-person visit at our Laurel office, here's what you can expect from our trauma therapy.
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 also screens for co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder that often overlap with trauma. You'll never be forced to share anything you're not ready to talk about. The goal is to understand the full picture before recommending any treatment.
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. You're not broken — your brain and body are responding to what you've been through, and we can help you process it.
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, whether you're in Columbia, Laurel, or anywhere in Maryland.

Learn More →Here are honest answers to the questions our patients from Columbia ask most about trauma and PTSD therapy.
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 20-25 minute drive from Columbia, or you can meet via secure telehealth. Get directions to our Laurel office.
Everyone's journey is different. Some people notice significant improvement within a few months, while others benefit from longer-term support — especially if they're dealing with complex trauma. Dr. Fosu will work with you to set realistic goals and adjust your treatment as you progress. The goal isn't just to manage symptoms — it's to help you heal and build a life that feels safe and meaningful. Many patients also benefit from anxiety care or depression support alongside trauma therapy.
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. You'll never be forced to share anything you're not ready to talk about. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan. You'll also learn some grounding techniques to help you manage symptoms between sessions.
