Jeffrey Bright, MD, LCSW-C, LCSW

Jeffrey Bright is a Maryland-based therapist who combines clinical training and lived experience to support adolescent males and men facing depression, anxiety, and questions about sexual identity. He works with individuals wrestling with the tension between a newly accepted sense of self and long-held values or religious beliefs, offering a calm, nonjudgmental space to explore identity, build self-esteem, and develop confidence. Jeffrey emphasizes collaborative work that helps clients move toward meaningful self-discovery and sustainable change.

He holds the credentials MD, LCSW-C, and LCSW - MD indicates a medical doctor, and the LCSW designations indicate licensed clinical social work credentials - and brings practical therapeutic training to his practice. He is an NLP practitioner and has formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and positive psychology, blending traditional evidence-based methods with innovative tools to create a holistic approach tailored to each person.

Raised in a conservative environment, Jeffrey spent 19 years married and is a father of four. That personal journey toward embracing his truth and developing a new spiritual path informs his empathy for clients navigating conflicting values or faith-based pressures. He recognizes how difficult the first step toward therapy can be and approaches each new client with encouragement and respect for their courage to begin.
