Laura Goldstein
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCMFT
Hello, I’m Laura Goldstein! I am a licensed clinical marriage and family therapist in North Bethesda MD and I founded Montgomery County Counseling Center, LLC in 2017. My work in this field started first and foremost because of my passion for family therapy! Nothing happens in a vacuum of just one person. Sustainable change can only occur when the entire system shifts. Therefore, whether or not the entire family is in the therapy space, we must still consider the whole family’s relationship dynamics.
Because of this perspective, I can work with anyone: individuals, couples, and families. Clients are the experts in their own lives. So, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgemental space for them to explore the issues that matter most to them. However, I also believe that clients come to therapy looking for expertise. If what you were doing on your own was already working, you wouldn’t be here. Therefore, I take a rather directive approach to helping my clients learn skills to be successful in managing distress and/or conflict.
What does that mean exactly?
Well, as a therapist I won't tell you what to do or what not to do. But, I can shine a light on your patterns and bring attention to the areas where you can make different choices [no matter whatever anyone else around you is doing]. I’m a “no BS” kinda gal. Authenticity is key! This means sometimes hearing the things that are hard to hear, and necessary to hear. All the while, my goal is ALWAYS to do so in a safe way that feels supportive, empathic, and non-judgmental.

Dr. Jeffrey Huttman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Everybody goes through challenges in life. Some struggles are harder to overcome than others and require the assistance of a highly trained and compassionate therapist. My goal is to provide a comfortable, non-judgmental environment, in which to receive the support and treatment needed to get relief from the symptoms that are bothering you most. I utilize a warm, empathic approach to form a strong therapeutic alliance and work collaboratively with my patients. My style is eclectic; incorporating person centered perspectives with components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness training.

Ashley Higgins
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have dedicated my practice to working with individuals in eating disorder recovery, recovery from disordered eating, or who are struggling in their relationship with their body. I hope to be a partner in your recovery journey, offering support and skills. You don't have to identify as having an eating disorder (or believe you are "sick enough") to want a more peaceful relationship with your body. Recovery is always possible, even though it is more complex and complicated than ever. There is an overwhelming amount of information about health, wellness, and recovery- I am here to help you sort through the noise and find what works for you!

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.

Catriona Schmidt
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, NCC, National Certified Counselor
There are many reasons that people decide to seek counseling. Everyone experiences change, loss, life transitions, and challenges at some time in their lives; however, navigating our thoughts and feelings can become overwhelming to try and address alone. Therapy can provide a supportive environment that is safe, nonjudgemental, and accepting.
I specialize in the areas of depression, anxiety, life adjustments, mood disorders, grief and loss, perinatal health, and relationship issues. Identifying strengths, increasing insight, and developing skills are incorporated during the counseling process to promote growth and well-being.
My approach to therapy is client centered and strength based. Through a collaborative process of support and encouragement, I believe that clients are empowered to be a part of their own growth and healing. I look forward to working with you on your personal journey.
