About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to support individuals in reaching their full potential in their personal and professional lives.

Developing Wellness Solutions was founded by Amanda Hines, LCSW-C in 2016. The company started as an in-home, solo practice in Baltimore, Maryland. Then, quickly expanded to a group practice in 2017 after Amanda saw the high demand for mental health services.

In 2020, the need for mental health services continued to grow and the company transitioned to a global, virtual mental health practice. Our therapists serve clients in Maryland, Florida, Missouri, Alabama, Louisiana, Georgia, and North Carolina to the Bahamas, Canada, Taiwan, Mexico, and Dubai.

Developing Wellness Solutions continues to expand our virtual therapy services internationally through direct relationships with organizations, educational institutions, and individuals.
