Meet Nina Hemphill, MS, LGPC

Trauma-Informed Therapist for the “Imperfect Survivor”

Nina is a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC) providing virtual trauma-informed therapy to adults throughout Maryland. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Georgia and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Morgan State University. Nina practices under clinical supervision.

Nina is a passionate therapist dedicated to walking alongside individuals on their transformative journey toward healing and growth. Viewing all clients through an intersectional lens, Nina utilizes an integrative approach, drawing from ACT, Attachment-informed, IFS-informed and Somatic-based approaches.

Nina’s approach is rooted in compassion, nervous system healing and trauma-informed care. She helps clients untangle self blame from survival responses, rebuild trust in their instincts and reconnect to their bodies.

A Word From Nina:

“I work with survivors of trauma who are carrying shame that was never theirs to hold. You may feel conflicted, confused, or like your story doesn’t fit the “perfect victim” narrative. That’s okay. Trauma is rarely black or white—it often happens in the grey.”
