Bethesda Counseling Service was created from the idea that individuals, couples, and marriages and families are not to maximize their potential. I believe that some individuals hinder themselves and their potential due to faulty misconceptions that they have acquired over the years. These faulty misconceptions appear to blind some individuals from seeing the solution to their problems. Sometimes, individuals need someone to help them to see their solution and aid them in maximizing their potential. I believe that you and I working together can help you to be that person, couple, marriage or family that you want to be.

Being a therapist motivates and give me purpose. Everyone experience life changes, but not everyone is prepared to manage the emotional, physical, social or financial changes that come with life changes. Feelings emotionally overwhelmed can affect the ability to make rational decisions. The inability to make rational decisions disrupts connection with self, reality, family and friends. As a Licensed Clinical social worker I am licensed to diagnose and treat. You are not alone and should never feel you are. I practice in an outpatient setting. My passion is helping patients move from a place of despair to optimism.

Many of us live our lives balancing one life event after another. All is well until that ONE MORE THING happens! Some people lash out on others or suddenly experience an overwhelming flood of emotions. Others lose interest in activities or have a change in their sleeping or eating habits. Coping with stress, relationship issues, and other life events may cause depression, anxiety, or other emotional responses. Many of my clients have been able to find better ways to cope with their "series of unfortunate events." Empowering clients to find positive strategies to COUNT IT ALL JOY again is at the heart of what I do.

Family Therapy

What do family therapists do?

A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?

Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?

You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?

Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
