Adults Therapists in Bethesda, MD

Hello and welcome. I'm Alison, a compassionate and dedicated therapist specializing in guiding teenagers and young adults through their journey of healing and growth. With a deep understanding of the challenges that anxiety, depression, and trauma can bring into one's life, I am committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment where you can find your way back to a place of strength and well-being

Our connections to one another and the communities we work and play in are foundational to our health and well-being. It is through relationship that we learn about ourselves and how best to be in relationship with others. At times, stress can threaten to overwhelm, priorities can become unclear and uncertainties can mount. We all benefit from a consistent and trusting relationship in which to identify our feelings, thoughts and behaviors, to be supported in our efforts to determine and utilize our own strengths and resources, to build our coping strategies, and begin to create the change we choose to work on in any stage of life

Stress and emotional pain are feelings that we all experience and often times it can become overwhelming, especially now! Often we find unhealthy ways to cope with the pain that we are feeling and our problems get worse. With my experience as a therapist, I have helped many young people walk the path to a healthy form of emotional healing. Whether you yourself or your child is struggling with feeling down, having excessive worry, struggling to concentrate, acting out, or drinking/smoking too much, therapy can help.

I help children, adolescents, young adults, parents & families, providing individual therapy, family therapy, & parent coaching. Each person and treatment is unique, but I integrate several techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), parent coaching, family systems, meditation, and hypnosis. Please contact me at 301-365-8105 or drpamluttig@gmail.com. If you prefer, we can have that initial contact over teletherapy. You can tell me about the issues, and I will describe how I would approach the therapy or refer you to someone else who can help.

I believe that everyone deserves therapy and an objective ear. No problem is too big or too small. I see it as part of my job to help you understand the way you think and feel so that you can have more meaningful relationships with those closest to you. Together, we'll make sense of the things in your life that are troubling you, and explore ways to cope in order to help you feel less overwhelmed.

Welcome! I am Tamara Skinner, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor dedicated to helping adults navigate the challenges and stress of their daily lives. My areas of clinical focus are anxiety, depression, life transitions, and dealing with the emotional impacts of adult ADHD. I often work with adults and specifically BIPOC women and women who experience anxious thoughts, loss of enjoyment in activities, feelings of overwhelm; isolation; shame. Some may have also experienced a recent move, loss, or are facing uncertainty about career changes.

Welcome to my practice. I like to work with my clients in a respectful, collaborative way to help them to move forward in their lives. My approach is to help clients to balance mindfulness, acceptance, and change strategies so that they can reach their goals. I have a special interest in the use of mindfulness-informed and evidence-based therapies. I strive to work with you to help you reach your goals as quickly as possible. Please contact me for more information.

There are many reasons why people make the choice to seek out therapy. Sometimes that reason isn't obvious and you might just feel "off", or maybe you've recognized patterns in your life that you'd like to interrupt but aren't quite sure how. Whatever your reason is, it is valid and important, and I would be honored to work through it with you. My experience thus far has centered around helping adolescents and adults navigate eating disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, body image distress, relationship issues, healthy masculinity development, and emotion regulation, in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

My name is Shay Linke and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker at Holistic Healing Counseling Center. I provide virtual psychotherapy services to individuals who are ready to make significant changes in their lives. I foster a non-judgemental space where you can feel truly seen and understood. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who experience anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma disorders. I also work with military, Veterans, and First Responders.

My approach to psychotherapy is to help you achieve emotional stability and personal growth. I understand that anxiety and depression can greatly impact your quality of life, and make it hard to engage in a fulfilling and meaningful daily experience. With the mental health services that I have to offer, you can learn to cope better with past, current, and even future problems, so that you may achieve a happy and healthy lifestyle. It is my deeply-held belief that utilizing a collaborative, adaptable, and individualized treatment approach is essential in identifying the underlying causes of challenges facing my clients.

I enjoy working with new moms, both as it relates to the transition to parenthood and postpartum stress/depression. The birth of a child can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. I am passionate about working with moms to understand these wide range of powerful emotions and how to best manage them. As parents, we often reach out for help when it comes to support for our children but neglect our own struggles. I believe that one of the best things we can do as parents, is to understand how our own dysfunctions play a part in our children's lives.

I am deeply passionate about supporting every person I encounter to lead a life worth living. I offer a warm and mindful space to celebrate strengths and explore challenges while balancing the dialectics of acceptance and change.

We sometimes feel overwhelmed, lost and alone. We can struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship/ marital issues, sexual assault, imposter syndrome, trauma and grief or loss. At times we use negative/hurtful coping strategies and develop unhealthy behavior patterns. Fortunately, sometimes we realize we are stuck and need help. My office is a shame-free zone. I provide a warm, engaged, compassionate and safe space for you to address your concerns comfortably and openly. I practice culturally informed psychotherapy using a holistic approach and am committed to normalizing the need for and benefits of therapy.

Deciding to reach out for help can be a challenge. I aim to provide a comfortable transition into the therapeutic process, working with my clients to collaborate on developing a personalized treatment plan. I currently work with teenagers and adults with a wide range of presenting concerns. Primary areas of focus include anxiety and depression, women's issues, perinatal/postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, life transitions, and relational issues.

I can help with recovery from painful childhood experiences & traumas. I can help you to better understand the unconscious patterns of thinking and feeling that create emotional pain and obstruct your efforts to achieve your life goals. My work addresses issues faced by adolescents, young adults, and adults including educational/career achievement, relationship satisfaction, and identity/self-esteem issues. Cultural/racial identity and oppressive/abusive social forces including racism and misogyny are important factors in my work.

I believe in everyone’s potential for transformation and change. Compassion, collaboration, and connection are important in my approach to therapy. Mental health challenges affect us all, and I am here to help you explore new perspectives about what you are facing. I believe that you deserve the opportunity to be heard, seen, and acknowledged.

"Help! My stress is over the top!" Have you found yourself thinking this? Are you facing difficult circumstances? Is stress from events in the world, or concerns about oppression and privilege, affecting you and/or your relationships? Is it harder to meet your commitments to family, friends, and/or groups and causes you care about? I specialize in helping adults, adolescents and families draw upon their strengths, solve problems, and develop new understanding and new skills.

Finding the right therapist is perhaps the most important step in the therapy process. A trusting relationship allows clients to feel safe when exploring deeper issues and taking risks. I am dedicated to creating a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment for each of my clients. Using an integrative approach, I enjoy working with adolescents and adults who may be grappling with life transitions or struggling with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, or relationship issues.

I offer clients a safe space to better understand their thoughts, feelings and behavior. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I provide a warm and compassionate environment guiding my clients through handling daily life stressors, better managing relationships, and addressing specific mental health concerns. Through my training, I tailor treatments by drawing upon evidence-based strategies that manage problems such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance abuse. I have expertise working with adolescents and adults from diverse backgrounds. My approach is collaborative, flexible, culturally sensitive and rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
