We are so excited to announce that starting Sept. 1st, Baby Jimerson will be joining our team to offer no-cost behavioral health support to our pediatric patients! Through a new partnership with the Maryland Behavioral Health Integration in Pediatric Primary Care (MD BHIPP) Internship Program and Frostburg State University, we are able to increase access to pediatric mental health care in our community.

Baby will be available to meet with any of our patients for both initial and ongoing behavioral or mental health concerns and all visits with Baby are completely free of charge! You can call any of our offices to schedule a visit with Baby, who will be based out of our Frederick office on Thomas Johnson Drive.

Baby is currently pursuing her M.S. in Counseling Psychology at Frostburg State University and is deeply passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families, with a special focus on trauma-informed care and emotional well-being.
