Therapists in Chevy Chase, MD

Therapy can benefit you wherever you are in life, whether it's in the midst of a crisis, if you're feeling distant from a partner or your parents, or if you simply want to know yourself better. Providing therapy is a sacred calling for me, and I am honored to empower either individuals, couples, families, or groups to reach goals or explore the unknown. I use a systemic approach to help clients in the context of environments and identities. Together, we can grow and become the authors of our own stories. By accepting who we are and our imperfections, we increase our ability to love ourselves and connect more deeply with others.

My primary focus is working with children and adolescents who are struggling with family discord, parent separation and/or divorce. Since 1996 I have been working within the school system, consulting for an adolescent residential/outpatient therapeutic treatment facility and in private practice. I work with children, adolescents, and their families to improve their skills navigating through life's challenges, transitions, and daily stressors. I also assist people who are feeling depressed, sad, anxious, or dealing with general relationship concerns. Together we develop skills to increase self esteem and coping abilities to promote resilient individuals and more communicative families.

Therapy is an opportunity to get to know yourself better and decide if there are other choices and/or life paths available to you. It is not an easy process, but many find that it is well worth the effort. I can help you make the best use of this opportunity. I work with patients with a wide variety of challenges including eating disorders, mood disorders (depression and anxiety), relationship issues, parenting children with special needs, and loss.

Are you challenged by life's transitions or losses, hurt by trauma or conflict, troubled by feelings of insecurity, anxiety or depression, or struggling in your relationships?

Specialty is treating people with anciety and phobias. Will meet clients ourside the office or will go with them to practice. Behavioral approach in which clients gradually expose themselves to situations of fear but never beyond a level they cannot tolerate.

NOW accepting new clients! Many emerging adults struggle during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. They spend their days feeling anxious and unfulfilled, falling back on patterns that used to work for them but which no longer are. If you're struggling with depression, anxiety, identity development or unresolved trauma, there is a path forward. You might feel like you keep trying to make changes in your life, and maybe things will go well for a while, but nothing sticks. You're motivated to change, you just need some extra guidance.

Everyone experiences difficult times in their lives. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, depressed, anxious, or stressed, therapy can help you to find a positive way forward. Reaching out for help is a sign of strength. My approach to therapy is informed by over 20 years of clinical experience. I offer a warm and focused setting for discussing the emotional or behavioral patterns that are keeping you from living a happier life. I take a highly personalized approach tailored to your needs. With compassion and understanding, I will work with you to help build on your strengths and develop new emotional and behavioral skills.

Discouraged by feelings of anxiety, sadness, or loneliness? Do you have insight into your issues but find yourself repeating the same mistakes? Come meet with me and let's decide if we're a good match. For over 25 years, I have been counseling individuals who feel stuck in familiar, negative patterns. I believe people possess the internal resources to be happier, manage stress better, and feel more satisfied in relationships. Working in a collaborative manner, I will help you tap into your inner wisdom. Together we'll set goals, track your progress, and adjust as we move forward.

Eleonor Cabrera, LMSW Eleonor Cabrera is a Licensed Master Social Worker in Maryland who has been practicing since 2022. She has a Bachelor of Science in Criminology with a minor in Sociology from University of Maryland Eastern Shore and a Master of Social Work from Morgan State University. Eleonor provides a client-centered, trauma-informed approach where clients are the experts when it comes to themselves. They should be permitted to take the lead with an understanding that we all experience different types of traumas that they are allowed to share, heal, and move on from.

There are times in life when we feel "stuck" and unable to move forward to live the life that we desire and deserve. While it takes strength and courage to reach out for help, the rewards of therapy are life-changing. I assist clients in identifying what may be holding them back. I empower clients to gain insight into underlying issues, heal deep wounds, and master the tools to create a satisfying life. I am passionate about the therapeutic work I do and enjoy forming strong alliances with my clients, partnering with them throughout their personal journey of growth and discovery.

It isn't always easy to work through life's challenges and find appropriate support. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for those who want to work toward positive change and personal growth. My style is collaborative, straightforward and goal-oriented. I am an active listener and offer insight into clients' choices, patterns of behavior/thoughts, and persistent struggles. I hope to guide my clients toward greater self-awareness in the therapy room and beyond to their day-to-day lives. I use talk therapy, CBT and coaching in my work with individuals and groups.

I have been practicing as a Psychologist in the Bethesda- Chevy Chase area for 35 years. I work with older adolescents and adults in individual and couples counseling. My areas of expertise include relationship issue, depression, stress, anxiety, divorce and separation (and impact on families).

SE HABLA ESPANOL I believe psychotherapy is a process that helps a person connect deeply with her/himself. By becoming more aware, through the therapeutic relationship, a person comes to understand the basis of his/her conflicts and developmental challenges, which can be manifested by symptoms of depression, anxiety or other distress. I use an interactive approach that focuses on peoples' strengths as well as exploring where they feel stuck. A goal is to help people see themselves realistically, and then to increase their ability to manage thoughts and feelings constructively, enhancing their relationships and their sense of purpose and well-being in the world.

Welcome! I specialize in eating disorders, disordered relationships with food and movement, body image, substance use, and relationship issues. I am equally passionate about cultural humility and competence in psychotherapy—especially for members of marginalized communities—as well as LGBTQIA+ issues. I use a Non-Diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to recovery from eating disorders and disordered eating. I have extensive experience working with eating disorder and substance use patients with a wide range of co-occurring diagnoses, and at all levels of care.

Close and warm relationships are key to a successful family life, individual health, and to a happy life as a couple. I work collaboratively with families to improve communication between parent and child, deal with underlying emotions, and to address problems together. I help couples find their way back to the initial strong bond that brought them together. I assist parents in finding successful strategies to deal with emotional outbursts, school difficulties, and sibling conflicts. Together we address specific challenges that children face such as learning differences and mood swings. I specialize in working with adoption and multicultural families.

When my son was 6 years old he told me that he did not want to play baseball but instead wanted to play soccer. I told him that was fine, but because I knew little about it, it might be harder for me to help coach him. He said to me, "That's alright dad, I'll teach you about soccer then you can teach me back."

I have over 30 years experience working with adults and couples in psychotherapy. I'm especially interested in helping people with relationship issues of all kinds. Loss and depression are among my other specialties. I believe in the value of taking time to get to know you as an individual, and the importance of building a strong relationship with my clients,

When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way.

Do you feel like you've lost control over your teenager? Want to regain your power as a parent? Want to relate better to your teen? Want your teen to be more successful? I specialize in treating teens who are not performing up to their potential in school or at home. I work closely with parents to improve the parent-child relationship, discipline more effectively, and allow the student to become more independent, responsible and productive over time. Additionally, I help adults overcome depression and anxiety, deal with stress, and gain a sense of control over their lives.
