Quest for Hope Counseling

Quest for Hope Counseling Professional faith-based counseling in Western MD, serving individuals, couples, and families. Hello!

My name is Nate Maust and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland. If you are reading this, there is a good chance that you are working through something that may feel too big to handle on your own. Counseling may seem like a big commitment and it's not uncommon to have reservations about it. I've had the honor of walking alongside individuals with varied experiences and obstacles. My hope is that each client I work with experiences respect, grace, and healing through the counseling experience. I aim to provide a judgment-free and supportive experience for individuals, couples, and families through this process.



My experience is varied through different settings. I've provided counseling through a church, in jail, in a residential setting, and now through private practice. A majority of my experience is with substance use counseling but have helped people work through different mental health struggles, marital conflicts, and family changes.



Dan Allender once wrote, “The work of restoration cannot begin until a problem is fully faced.” Facing problems is often not fun and can be quite frankly scary but it is necessary in order to experience restoration and health. Please reach out to me if you don't want to face these problems on your own. List of reasons people come to counseling:

Karl Maust, LMSW is currently accepting new therapy clients in Grantsville, MD. He is in-network with Carefirst (BlueCross BlueShield) and Aetna. 301-450-7274 or info@questforhopecounseling.com

We are pleased to announce another addition to our team! Karl W. Maust, LMSW will be joining us full-time starting next Tuesday. Currently he is able to take any clients who have CareFirst (BlueCross BlueShield network), have Out-of-Network benefits, or are self-pay (we are working on credentialing for more insurances). Karl did his internship with us in early 2025. Welcome back Karl! To be put on Karl's schedule call: 301-450-7274 ext. 1 or email us at info@questforhopecounseling.com.

By way of introduction, here are some words from Karl:

"My name is Karl W. Maust, LMSW and I am a master's level Social Worker currently being supervised by LaDawn Tice, LCSW-C. I was called to become a social worker when I took an introduction to counseling class at Rosedale Bible College. From that point on, I knew the direction that God was leading me towards. In 2019, I graduated from Frostburg State University with a Bachelor of Social Work. With my bachelor's degree, I started working as a Crisis Intervention Case Worker as well as a Blended Case Manager. I have also worked within the homelessness prevention system for Western Pennsylvania helping communities on a macro scale. In 2025, I graduated with my Master's of Social Work with a certificate in Cognitive Behavior Therapy as well as Animal Assisted Therapy.

I believe in the power of hope and healing. My approach is rooted in empowering individuals to recognize and build on their own strengths. By fostering natural supports and inner resilience, I seek to help clients navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity. Whether you're facing a specific struggle or seeking personal growth, I am here to work alongside you and your journey to becoming the best version of yourself."
