What TIDES OF CHANGE WELLNESS LLC does

Tides of Change Wellness LLC is a privately held outpatient mental health practice organized as a Maryland LLC and operating from a single physical clinic at 7330 Grace Drive, Suite B, Columbia, MD 21044. The practice delivers evidence-based psychotherapy with a specialty concentration in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), serving adults, adolescents, families, teachers, first responders, and veterans across Maryland and (via telehealth) Virginia and North Carolina. The clinical team comprises two partners — Naomi Haberman and Brittney St. Louis (Dahunsi), both LCSW-C, CDBT, and RO-DBT Practitioner credentialed — plus supporting therapists Jasmine Parlett, Kathleen VanMeter, and Sydney McAnallen, operating at a stated capacity of 15-25 clients per clinician per week.

Core service lines are: (1) Comprehensive DBT — individual sessions ($150-$225), age-segmented skills classes (Middle School Low Tide, High School High Tide, Adult Tidal Wave), family skills classes ($65), and 24/7 crisis coaching ($350-$1,100/month); (2) RO-DBT for emotional over-control — adult/family and teen classes ($350-$1,100); (3) general outpatient therapy ($90-$225) covering CBT, Family Systems, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic, and canine-assisted modalities; and (4) adjunct programming — the Stirring the Soul cooking + DBT class ($150/session at Freetown Farm), Ripples of Impact teacher training ($75), DBT-grounded speaking engagements, and the Empowering Minds Summer Camp (Summer 2026). The practice's underlying technology stack is thin: TheraNest powers the patient portal (tocw.mytheranest.com), with no proprietary platform, API, or AI capability disclosed.

The business model is predominantly recurring subscription-style billings for therapy and DBT programs plus one-time fees for adjunct classes/trainings, paid through BlueCross BlueShield commercial plans, private pay, and HSA cards. Distribution is direct — website intake forms, in-person at the Columbia office, and via telehealth — supplemented by community events, social media, and a psychiatric referral network of seven named external providers for medication management. Three named institutional relationships — Howard County Public Schools, the Local Behavioral Health Advisory Board, and the Opioid Community Collaboration Council — anchor the community-engagement channel. The practice carries no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, no parent company, and no M&A activity.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Discovery Behavioral Health: Discovery Behavioral Health runs a national network of mental health treatment programs including DBT and eating disorder services. Overlaps with TOCW's DBT and outpatient focus but at a much broader, multi-site scale with significant capital backing.
• Brightside Health: Brightside Health is a telehealth psychiatry and therapy platform serving anxiety and depression patients across multiple states. Comparable to TOCW on telehealth delivery and evidence-based outpatient care, though more generalized and tech-enabled.
• Talkspace: Talkspace operates a national virtual therapy and psychiatry platform with licensed clinicians across modalities. Comparable to TOCW as a virtual outpatient mental health delivery model, though operating at vastly greater scale and as a technology platform intermediary.
• McLean Hospital (McLean 3East DBT Program): McLean runs one of the most established DBT programs in the U.S. As a major psychiatric institution, it offers overlapping DBT services as part of a broader continuum of behavioral health, comparable in modality but operating at significantly larger scale and inpatient/residential level.

Direct peers

• Geode Health: Geode Health operates outpatient mental health clinics delivering evidence-based therapy (CBT, DBT-adjacent) across multiple states with in-person and telehealth models. It mirrors TOCW's hybrid in-person + virtual outpatient model and therapist-driven care delivery.
• Charlie Health: Charlie Health provides virtual intensive outpatient programming for teens and young adults, with DBT and related evidence-based modalities at its core. Directly overlaps with TOCW's DBT programming for teens (Middle School, High School) on a virtual delivery model.
• Equip: Equip delivers virtual, family-based DBT treatment primarily for adolescents with eating disorders. It is directly comparable to TOCW because both deliver evidence-based DBT virtually to teens and families as their core clinical model.

Others

• Behavioral Tech / Linehan Institute: Founded by Marsha Linehan, Behavioral Tech is the standard-bearer for DBT training and certification. Comparable to TOCW because it shapes the DBT credentialing pipeline (CDBT) that TOCW's clinicians rely on, though it is a training organization rather than a treatment provider.
