“Through my own personal and professional journey, I bring a unique perspective to my therapy practice. My husband and I experienced infertility before we adopted two wonderful children via domestic newborn adoption. Years later, we found ourselves welcoming our most unexpected biological child into our family. Having a multi-racial, multi-cultural family that includes biological and adopted children, I can relate to both the joys and challenges all of those factors bring. -Nicole Maus-Chaudhury Nicole is a Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland.
