does itf have a strong presence in md?

for context, ive been doing tkd and MMA or kyokushin for 10 years. I recently moved to an ITF dojo in MD, which I wont name. I'm having a hard time acclimating there and connecting with my teammates. I really value a close connection with people around me and a welcoming environment, just as much as I value authentic martial arts. this dojo is incredibly accomplished but it's not for me. I want ot move to a new dojo in taekwondo, but not a mcdojo. anyone know of anywhere I should check out?
