About Destiny
Perinatal Mental Health Therapist
Destiny Jefferson is a dedicated mental health therapist and social worker whose passion for holistic healing is rooted in her own personal journey. With a deep commitment to helping individuals align their mind, body, and spirit, Destiny empowers her clients to uncover their voice, purpose, and path to emotional well-being. She specializes in mindfulness-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and somatic practices, integrating these tools to promote emotional resilience, self-awareness, and lasting transformation.
Destiny earned her Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Salisbury University. Since beginning her career in 2021, she has worked with diverse populations in both school and clinical settings. After five impactful years as a school social worker, she transitioned into full-time therapeutic practice, where she now supports individuals ranging from young adults to elders on their mental health journeys.
Guided by the belief that true healing comes from within, Destiny's approach is rooted in self-mastery and personal empowerment. She helps clients release emotional burdens, reframe limiting beliefs, and embrace life with clarity and confidence. Her work is especially focused on helping individuals let go of what no longer serves them so they can move forward with purpose and intention.
A proud Baltimore native, Destiny is deeply committed to her community. She leads initiatives like toy drives, supports local homeschool education, and volunteers at community gardens and food giveaways. These experiences continue to shape her holistic, client-centered approach to therapy and community care.
Outside of her professional work, Destiny finds joy in her roles as a wife, mother, pet mom, and plant mom. She draws inspiration from her family, nature, and the quiet practices of yoga, martial arts, gardening, hiking, and meditation. Whether tending to her plants or exploring Baltimore’s scenic trails, Destiny remains grounded in her calling to make the world a more compassionate, empowered, and connected place.
